That would be "the obvious 5/11-'72 references (:o)", to begin with.

Coincidence; I listened to "Hassan I Sahba" 30 minutes ago. Excellent song.

Hawkwind from the 70s never disappoint ~ FACT!

Agreed wholeheartedly James

And still well worth seeing live to this day,even if their recorded work is a bit dodgy.

It all makes sense. The tour was called Black October 'cos it where Black History month!! So maybe underneath all that hair n glasses persona, Eldritch is actually an African-American called Leroy Umbongo -Katanga from 162nd Street Harlem, New York..Yo !!

So that's why he doesn't need to release a new LP. He's got enough income from dodgy financial scams already.

I have to admit that I got a bit disappointed when I first heard "Astounding sounds, Amazing music"
My least fav. 70´s Hawkwind album...

Stick with it Grison, it's not their best or really representative of most of thier ouvre. They got back on track with Quark, Strangeness and Charm but even more so with PXR5. After that it all went pish with that dreadful Hawklords 25 years album. IMO they never recovered after Lemmy got the boot. I saw them five times back in the 70s and they were an astonishing experience - a total audio/visual full sensory overload.
They don't build bands like that anymore.

Only in this thread, though.

I always thought it was that naked dancing woman that first peaked your interest in Hawkwind.....When's Eldritch going to rip that off,there's a question?

Kinda like the 25 years album, Psi power, Free fall: great, Automotonturning into 25years is a bitt funny/punky, almost like Inner city unit stuff, Only the dead dreams... kinda soft tune, think I have to put it on!

Can't agree Grison, if you read this, you'll see what a state they were in at that time and I think the music reflects it - lifeless, listless, FFS where was the Hawkind Roar!?
Dik Mik, Del Dettmar and Lemmy made that Hawkwind Roar!

Thanks for the link, James!

I´ll try to get my hands on that one.

If you do, only read the first 2/3rds of the book, the last third is the same story of what a bastard Dave Brock is and how he stiffed everyone where money was concered. Various ex-'Winders put their point of view, with Brock saying how honest and up front he was. The first 2/3rds don't support his view and while I think Hawkwind sans Brock wouldn't work, he did make some stupid choices.
Mind you, I wouldn't want to hear Hendix if he had survived, just like Peter Green and Eric Clapton, they woulda run out of steam. Hawkwind with Dik Mik, Del and Lemmy probably would sound like sludge or a lounge band by now.
I'll cherish my memory of the glory days.
and these NOT WORK SAFE!
