That shit is one of my fav hawkwind albums. Just listen to those vocals being straightup as fuck!

This one is from the VHS i bought when i was like 12 or 13 cause i heard MICHAEL MOORCOCK (lol...moorcock) was on it. If you havent given this guys books a read...its well worth the like 3 bucks youre going to pay on amazon for a used copy. I reccomend of course the elric books and also von beck. The metatemporal detective is fantastic and also the dancers at the end of time being not only CRUCIAL to understanding the elric series (when i read this it blew my mind wiiide open) and great as psychedelic literature. Anyway after i had this vhs i never looked back...this song is so catchy and amazing

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3W7ch0oLeA[/youtube] Song about me , riffs are killer, even better on the album they named after me but this one sound good on small speaks. If you have big speaks this shit is INTENSE on the version on SPACE RITUAL

It'll have to wait until Sunday after I return from my trip to "walgreens" in the magical land of white water . I get the feeling this will be worth holding off until I have access to certain planes of consciousness though

Glad to see more people listening to hawkwind. Such a good band.

[Bassus Sanguinis]

Glad to see more people listening to hawkwind. Such a good band.

Listening to Hawkwind makes You a better person. Oh crap, scratch that just dig the Space Is Deep and drop out

[jrmy]

Badass, man.

I love that they attribute their name equally to Michael Moorcock, and to spitting & farting.

[SPACERITUAL]

Oh and anyone considering buying this can FORGET THAT SHIT. Steve von tills "im taking a shit while trying to sound southern" (in raaaainy geoooorgiaaaaa) vocal stylings may be endearing in neurosis and his solo work but it really does alot of disservice to the songs he covers here. Also of note is the face that all the amazing feedbacky verging on out of control solos are extremely poorly executed when they arent forgotten completely. The whole affair gives off this really sterile repetitive feeling that is honestly just not hawkwind. Also minsk is a shitty band. Fuck minsk.

hawkwind is cool, but weed is a pussy drug.

[jmart]

love hawkwind! great thread!

have you seen such hawks, such hownds? they are mentioned as one of the main influences on all the "stoner" rock made in the desert scene in the 80´s/90`s

[colin]

How is that I had never heard Hawkwind before? Totally my kind of shit, thanks Dr. S.

[Jero]

but weed is a pussy drug.

1. Weed is not a drug
2. No one said weed, but simply "get high." If you prefer jenkem, that's your prerogative.

[red transistor]

gosh golly jero, you slay me. of course i don't do jenkem, i only smoke bath salts.

[Jero]

i only smoke bath salts.

dOOd, I heard about that but thought theys pulling my leg. It's legit?

[chutneyfarmer]

Always great to see a bit of Hawkwind love! Used to crank Space Ritual a lot when I was working in a record store. Loads of older dudes used to come up asking if it was Hawkwind and being really happy when I told them it was
