Always enigmatic and outside of the mainstream, most people
associate Hawkwind with 'whoosh' noises, ‘Silver Machine’,
Lemmy and 'Space Rock' music. From the beginning, Hawkwind have
been trailblazers, even when they have explored blind alleys and
cul-de-sacs, and have never been afraid to innovate and mutate into
strikingly different musical arenas. The band have a unique history
in the world of rock music and have inspired not just other bands
but also an entire sub-genre of music: Stoner Rock. Hawkwind's
stated aim was to be a substitute for mind-expanding drugs.
Instead, they used music, poetry, lights, projections, theatre and
dance in an assault on the senses. Albums such as X In Search Of
Space and Warrior At The Edge Of Time as well as classic live album
Space Ritual set a template for their astonishing take on rock
music. This book is a track-by-track analysis of every studio album
and major live release to date. Beginning with the highly-regarded
early albums of the 1970s, it continues through the hard rock
hardships of the 1980s and the sometimes awkward musical dalliances
of the 1990s, finishing on the unexpectedly triumphant return of
the band in the 2010s and 2020s. It is now updated to include the
band’s 2021 album Somnia and 2023 The Future Never Waits.
