I'd recommend New Jerusalem of the three. The side-long title track is a
real winner IMHO. Side One has a couple of goofy tunes (the acoustic 'Song
for a New Age' or something, and 'Generator', which is a little hard to
take), but also the excellent "Lighthouse" (later done by Hawkwind w/ Blake,
as was New Jerusalem at one point) and the last instrumental number (French
title?) which I like a lot as well.
Magick is 90's material (I actually saw him on tour following that album)
that has some nice things, but not all that necessary. Crystal Machine I
haven't listened to in years, having only the LP, but it's more synth
ramblings than structured music.
