Hawkwind.....a brief history (the 1970's) One of the organisers of the event in Notting Hill Gate was Doug Smith from 'Clearwater Productions'. Suitably impressed by what he saw, he took them on board. Shortly after, the band named themselves 'Hawkwind Zoo', started gigging and recorded a demo tape in order to secure a record contract. This proved a wise move, as in November 1969 they gained a deal with 'Liberty Records' and shortened their name to 'Hawkwind'. Hawkwind's first major recordings came about in the Spring of 1970, when they entered the studio to record the single 'Hurry On Sundown' and their debut album simply entitled 'Hawkwind' with the assistance of Dick Taylor (formerly with The Pretty Things). But it wasn't until the release of their second More... (Submit New Hawkwind Lyrics) (Submit New Hawkwind Lyrics) Review about Hawkwind HAWKWIND...Silver Machine | Reviewer: Choronzon Blackangel ------ About the song Silver Machine performed by Hawkwind What can I possibly say about this song?If you're familiar with it you'll know what I'm talking about,and if you're not,WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE LAST THIRTY EIGHT YEARS???????????This is an absolute all time classic,up there with Iron Butterfly's'Inna Gada Da Vida',Fluffy's 'Nothing',The Pistols'Pretty Vacant',t.A.T.u's'Not Gonna Get Us',or even Sabbath's'Paranoid'!!!Unlike some bands I could mention,HAWKWIND are still going after all these years.This is not their finest song by any means(check out'Master Of The Universe'or'Needle Gun'),but it's still classic HAWKWIND,and it deserves it's place in history as the song which made their name.Without HAWKWIND there would probably never have been any techno, or punk for that matter.We all owe these guys a great debt.If you're familiar with 'Silver Machine'I'm preaching to the converted,and if you're not,WHY NOT???CHECK IT OUT IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!If you don't like this,you don't deserve to enjoy a rock record ever again!!!All together now...."I've got a SILVER MACHINE...I've got a SILVER MACHINE...." Assault & Battery | Reviewer: Ozowen ------ About the song Assault And Battery performed by Hawkwind Dean's post hits the mark for me. Hawkwind, Floyd, Tangerine Dream and others were certain escape from the wretched stuff promulgated by Abba and rollers. When the bloody Bee Gees and their ilk started the sheer sonic attack of Disco then escape was required and Hawkwind was one of the best answers choose your masks | Reviewer: brian brown ------ About the album Choose Your Masques performed by Hawkwind the album starts with choose your masks and to me should have been a big hit, great lead guitar by huw lloyd in the instrumental part of the song,and then from there its just superb and if you wanna get into it you gotta get out of it. Morrcock | Reviewer: Steve ------ About the song Infinity performed by Hawkwind Sure this was from one of his 'black sword' epics! Wasnt there another verse: She took me to a palace gate, with constellation towers. She is the keeper of my fate, I sleep locked in her powers. She turned the key ect.. assault & battery | Reviewer: Dean ------ About the song Assault And Battery performed by Hawkwind Just prior to punk, we had the brilliant Warriors at the Edge of Time. Rotten never gave enough credit to his roots. This band were and are still superb, the sound of the mellotron captures the sound of that time. Being young and excited and at the same time bored with the mainstream pulp fiction that was ABBA, Bay City, Stealers, and all the other clueless muso's of that time, music like Hawkwind gave us hope and took us into space not as escapism but as an adventure, full of promise of other worlds. One of three Albums that are the absolute best of Hawkwind | Reviewer: John ------ About the album Choose Your Masques performed by Hawkwind Choose Your Masques, Sonic Attack, & Chronicles of the Black Sword are the best albums ever created to disc. Even though, the band has gone through several member changes over the years, they continually create music that is way ahead of it's time. Not only lyrically, but musically as well! The studio/engineering that has gone into creating the sound on any one of these albums is..... speechless.. Each of these albums are intense and an aural assault on your grey matter, especially with headphones, hard driven, well crafted, well produced, and with the assistance of micheal moorcock's sci-fi books, these songs are created from the books and given life musically, These are 3 Albums i would like to have back in my collection but cannot find anywhere. With over at least forty albums to their credit, and yes some are re-hash's of older material, brought into a new light, or concert audio never heard before, you really can't go wrong with any of their selections, i think. Their older material, was more grateful dead like, tunes of yore, but somewhere after their 3rd album they definitely found their niche. Even their recent contribution of "Take Me To Your Leader", has tunes that should beheard by all, but, then again, i must admit bias on my part. If anyone who happens to actually read this knows where i can find the 3 copies of cd's as listed above, drop me a line, i would greatly appreciate it, so i can add it to my already large collection of their cd's. adjust me review | Reviewer: jerry ------ About the song Adjust Me performed by Hawkwind Another great Hawkwind song from one of the best psychedelic LP's of all time "In Search of Space". Trippy song from a great band.
