This 2 cd set is reflects, pretty much, what Hawkwind are doing on the live circuit at present. It is one of those glorious rock journeys and features some classic songs that all fans will know; Master Of The Universe,Sonic Attack, Silver machine among 16 others. Those who are unfamiliar with recent material may take a while to warm to this set. Probably recorded directly from the desk and after a tweak here and there, released after mastering. I say this because there are no evident credits for production. Certainly worth a listen, just to know what these legends are up to!
i have been following hawkwind for about 40 years, the line up & music has changed a lot over the years,but has always had that hawkwind feel to it. i bought this as its one of a few i havn't got. firstly its a well recorded clear sound for a live cd. but,( sorry about this hawkfans ) this line up just does not work for me. there are a couple of tracks that work , but overall , considering there are some classic tracks on this , it doesnt feel like hawkwind. possibly the worst versions of orgone accumullator,& masters of the universe (one of my top 5 hawk tracks),ive heard. did,nt want to do this review , because i didnt want to diss hawkwind . but felt i had to. sorry dave, but this doesnt work. ( you should have a knighthood for longest serving member in a band). but this very ave. mate , sorry. For newcomers to Hawkwind, try ,(live)SPACE RITUAL,( best ever ) live chronicals , (ok) the buisness trip ( exel ) in your area/ yule ritual.Read full review
Not one of the Hawks greatest offerings - the keyboards are way too prominent for my liking & I feel mean saying that, as Jason Stuart has since tragically died. It's a transition period (again) for the band & they sorely need Alan Davey back on bass & an extra guitarist.
