GANDALF レコード& CD

Review: Gandalf's 1969 self-titled album stands as a masterpiece of haunting psych-pop, now reissued from the original master tapes. Recorded at Century Sound in Manhattan with Grammy-winning producer Brooks Arthur, the album's ethereal vocals and innovative production techniques - including the use of a Binson Echorec - set a mesmerising tone. With sitars, vibes, B3 organs, and harpsichord layered over minor guitar chords and bass drones, each track unfolds like a vivid journey through sonic landscapes. Released on clear vinyl and cut by Kevin Gray, this reissue invites listeners into a richly textured experience best enjoyed with eyes closed and the music turned up. Gandalf's album is a shinning example of timeless craftsmanship in psychedelic music, beckoning both old fans and new listeners alike to immerse themselves in its beauty and depth. This version comes on clear vinyl.
