1973 ORIGINAL SPACE PSYCH LEGEND
HUGE FOLDOUT POSTER COVER 2xLP SET!
SPACE RITUAL
HAWKWIND
\ USA - UNITED ARTISTS ~ UALA 120 -H2
ORIGINAL 1973 first USA issue 2xLP set in huge poster cover ...the SPACE RITUAL representing HAWKWINDS' orgasmic overdrive epic...a head-over-heels spacerock journey!
The bombastic attack on the senses is bottomed out by the throbbing distortion lead guitar styled BASS lines of Motorhead's LEMMY. Strap yourself into the ejection seat fo this one from these true rock prophets of space. Freaky sax and whirling flute are overdriven by heavy wah-wah/distortion guitar, swirling air-raid synths and mindblowing lyrical warnings. From the onset the plea, "This is earth calling, this is earth calling.....this is earth calling.........earth calling.............." gives us the ominous impression that this trip is not going to be a fun one. And it is not. Space Ritual is not a fun album nor is it's theme. Space. It is a dark and forbidding place and many obstacles lay in wait for the ususpecting listener in the form of sonic attacks, dark corridors and a barrage of electronic effects which describe space as a lonely and misunderstood place. Embark on this sonic voyage at your own risk, maintain your composure and remember: Do not panic! Literary contributions from Sci-Fi/fantasy writer Michael Moorcock and Bob Calvert provide some of the freakiest rock poetry ever penned. This is Hawkwind at it's penultimate. "If you can remember it, you weren't actually there", but if you were there you were treated to a mind-blowing audio-visual experience the like of which will certainly never happen again. And it's true - my memories of that gig in 1972 are seen through a haze! The dancers are a blur and the music would be merely a wall of sound but for this album which serves as a record of that tour and a monument to a bygone age.
