A 1997 release on the British Psi-Fi label that supposedly stored recordings from the krautrock archives

of British producer, composer and recording engineer Toby Hrycek-Robinson (aka The Mad Twiddler), 

whilst he was working at various Cologne area studios in Germany during the 1970s.
Six albums from these archives, were issued on the Psi-Fi label in the 90s

all said to have been originally published on Robinson's private label Pyramid back in the 70s.
Obviously the lack of solid proof of the existence of these albums created a controversy

whether these releases were really recorded in the 70s or were 90s UK hoaxes.
The Nazgûl consisted of three members named Frodo, Gandalf (possibly Toby Hrycek-Robinson) and Pippin.
The whole concept is Tolkien inspired with weird trippy organ experimentations, acoustic, concrete noises,

gongs, tape loops and guitar manipulations creating a sinister-dissonant soundscape.
Very similar to Tangerine Dream's approach on "Zeit", as if they had to work on an album based on Tolkien mythology.

The recording is allegedly dated in 1975-76 and the 1997 Psi-Fi CD claims to be remastered from the original master tapes.
Hoax or not this is a truly amazing release.
