Heartland

Seems there are quite a few fans, so I thought we should take it here.

V' Wind are the only band I've seen 5 times - in the 70s

Orkwind? Isn't that wot 'appens when certain characters from Tolkein 'ave beans for tea?

And they do flippin' kick live. I've never seen a gig anything stronger than Amsterdam's Favourite Export, but judging from the behaviour of some of my fellow concert go-ers...well, let's just say that they look like they might be friends with EMWK...

Like you read mah mind!

Never seen them, wouldn't bother these days to be honest.

Anyway, to kickstart something, here's my top 5:

1) Warrior on the Edge of Time
2) In Search of Space
3) Space Ritual
4) Hall of the Mountain Grill
5) Doremi Fasol Latido

Garage prog indeed!

Top Tracks:

1. Warrior on the Edge of Time
2. Quark Strangeness & Charm
3. Silver Machine
4. Psychedelic Warlords (disappear in smoke)
5. Damage of Life
6. Lost Johnny
7. Secret Agent
8. Mask of the Morning
9. Urban Guerilla
10. Angels of Death

What do you think to some of the solo projects - Captured Rotation and Strange Trips & Pipe Dreams?

interesting...

and mine:
1) Space Ritual
2) Doremi Fasol Latido
3) Hall of the Mountain Grill
4) Warrior on the Edge of Time
5) XIn Search of Space

I only know Silver Machine and Motorhead.

Dig that crazy fiddle.

This stretch of time, as mentioned by James, is also better known as One-Hawkwind-LP or OHLP.

I first heard about them in the late 70´s, when Motörhead was becoming popular, "must check out that other band that Lemmy used to play with"
First albums bought was "warriors", and then Live ´79.

Some favourite albums:
Space Ritual
In search of space
Warrior on the edge of time
Doremi...
Well, all United Artists albums are favourites,

the rest:
Live ´79 (and the double cd of later years)
Levitation
Choose your Masques
Chronicle of the black sword

After Xenon codex they became dull IMO, and i lost interest in them after Palace springs.

For all those out there who've never heard Hawkwind, just listen to Space is Deep turned up to 11...and groove on down to the celestial deathscape

Quark, Stangeness and Charm
Orgone Accumulator(freaky mellotron action)
Master of the Universe(THE riff)
The Watcher (for Lemmys vocal performance alone)

The Demented Man(for the seagulls)
PSI Power
Watching the Grass Grow
(Only) The Dead Dreams of the Cold War Kid

........

Over the Top:
"This is a very heavy microphone stand.
Aha, no queen could banish this I tell you that.
This is a real man's microphone stand
'ere Dave. 'Ere, where d'you get these stands from?
They're really heavy. So are you.
Well we're gonna do something really heavy in a minute.
Like, err.., fall off the stage on top of you,
With about two hundredweight of iron in my hand.
You're a very tiny person, aren't you?
Eh? You're all very tiny down there.
You know, when I'm up here, I feel so big and mighty,
I feel like I'm the Master …Of the …Universe.
You made me feel like that,
And now, It's almost true.
Just wait and see, What we do.
Alright, cut the gypsy music.
A band of gypsys"....

Yeah just download them cos Dave Brock does not need the money. He has a nice big swimming pool and the bastard has never had to work in an office EVER

Does he look like he needs our money?

Point taken.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't buy either track.

Though I did consider going to see them a year or two ago on my birthday, in London, on the basis of Silver Machine alone.

Seen 'em twice !

I wish they wore some type of Mobius inspired headgear but they rocked all the same.


in no paritcular order

Space Ritual (F'ing ACE)
Warrior on The Edge of Time
In Search Of Space
Live 1999 (taped in 70's though Chicago show)
