For Jose R. Hawkwind's strange 1977 masterpiece, with a streamlined, razor sharp sound and songs full of Ballardian imagery. This ain't "Hall of the Mountain Grill", but it's no less powerful or plain fuckin' rocking.
The 1si Hawkwind LP I heard. I bought it, aged 10 (!), after seeing 'em play the title track on Marc Bolan's (short lived) TV show in 1977 & it's still one of my favourites. Strange, on reflection, to hear them embracing the new wave so readily, bits of it sound like The Stranglers FFS!
Thanks! Awesome.
