Hawkwind - S/D

i'd much rather listen to this than any Acid Mothers Temple. in fact i just don't get their huge popularity at all.

Choose Your Masques, Chrocicle of the Black Sword and Live Chronicles are probably the best 80's stuff.

Quark, Strangeness and Charm 77
Hawklords - 25 Years On 78
P.X.R.5. 79

Atomhenge reissued these as double CD deluxe packages on Apr 28. They're pretty expensive, so I was wondering if the 2007 Rockfever versions were also remastered.

I picked up a used copy of Hawklords, and it's awesome! I got the single disc version, and am now tempted by the double-disc versionfrom Atomhenge. Argh, shouldn't spend more $.

i think the hawklords album is one of their most underrated - new wave pop with a space rock edge. it also features some of calvert's best lyrics. in some sort of alternative universe i can imagine "psi power" and "the only ones" being top 40 hit singles.

what is on the double disc?

Most importantly, it includes the "Death Trap" single which my version is lacking, along with other bonus tracks and live versions.

i have almost everything on there but might consider buying it for this - Listen
7. Album Out-Takes: The Only Ones (Acoustic Demo)

the sonic assassins live tracks are great. calvert goes totally ott on the fittingly named 'over the top'.

i think the hawklords album is one of their most underrated

AGREEING WITH THIS, i got the atomhenge version and it is just outstanding. i've gotten a couple of the other calvert-era ones and they're all good (and underrated) but 25 years on is most successful at trying to bring hawkwind into the changing era.

..of music or something

sad to hear of the passing of Huw Lloyd Langton.

RIP. i've never gotten to those 80s albums he's on, but the first one is obviously killer.

one could probably live without them but "Levitation" is pretty good. He wrote the best track( imo) on it and the intro to "the 5th second of forever" that he wrote is lovely. it rather oddly got sampled on some hip hop record whose title now escaped me.

This 2 CD live collection called Hawkwind 77 FXXXXNG rawks. It is put together from various sources, but the sound quality is pretty good and it flows together.

The Hawklords are playing at the local biker pub on Sunday.

They're basically a Hawkwind tribute act that writes their own material - they have 3 ex-Hawkwind members, but nobody v notable - the bassist from 1978-1991, and the guitarist and bassist from 1995-2001. They have released 6 albums since they formed in 2008 apparently. Looking at setlists they play about half a set of 70s Hawkwind classics, a couple of Robert Calvert songs and the rest from their own stuff.

I'm not expecting this to be like going to the Roundhouse in 1972, but is it worth a tenner?

they played in glasgow recently and i was crazily excited when i saw the poster. not so excited when i did a bit more research. as it turned out i couldn't go but i think i would risk a tenner to check them out, albeit with low expectations.

RIP Dik Mik

finally got a 5.1 system sorted in my flat and listening to the surround mix of Warrior on the Edge of Time is transcendental

Very jealous.
