The original version of SPACE RITUAL is the definitive live document of U.K. space-rock heroes Hawkwind. VOL. 2 features tracks drawn from the same 1972 performances, but they're presented here in their original, unedited form. (Apparently the first volume involved a fair amount of post-production). The swirling electronics, space-cadet lyrics, and psychedelic guitars that made the band famous can be heard at their finest here. Motorhead fans, take note: this is where it all started for Lemmy, whose bass and vocals add plenty of drive to the proceedings.
Tracklist
Hawkwind
Inspired equally by the hippie lifestyle/marathon jamming of the '60s West Coast bands and the interstellar excursions of Pink Floyd, Hawkwind helped invent "space rock" as we know it today. Through countless albums and personnel shifts, they've continued to combine heavy rock with science fiction in a futuristic setting, inspiring a generation of bands and several international space-rock festivals.
