This is Mandrake Memorials last LP and regarded by most listeners as their best album. Collectables reissued "Puzzle" with their lone single as bonus tracks (Collectables COL-0693 /1996). I like the special atmosphere they create on their recordings and "Earthfriend", "Tadpole" or especially the beautiful "Hiding" blow mind. Could have been used as an alternate soundtrack to "2001 - A Space Odyssee".Tracklist:
- Earthfriend Prelude
- Earthfriend
- Just A Blur (Version 1)
- Hiding
- Just A Blur (Version 2)
- Tadpole
- Kyrie
- Ocean's Daughter
- Volcano Prelude
- Volcano
- Whisper Play
- Bucket Of Air
- Children's Prayer
- Puzzle
- Just A Blur (Version 3)
- Something In The Air (bonus)
- Musical Man (bonus)

Thanks, the best Mandrake record for me.

Thanx!
Hallo
GRISTLE from England would like to say Thanx - Been waiting nearly 40 years to hear this again - first introduced to this by a trippy music teacher at infants school - God bless the woman - what a way to open my virgin ears.
Many Thanks!!
I've been looking for this for years. My only copy is a cassette copy of a very well used album from the early 1970's which saw many acid trips. This is the best tripping album I ever experienced back in the day -- when LSD 25 was readily available, relatively pure, and highly potent.
Had this on vinyl since '74 or so. I'm still kickin' but the record sticks on side 2. A million thanks! Makes my eyes red just waitin' for the DL.
