Description/Reviews:

The music itself follows the Hawkwind template of driving rock sections slipping into the more ambient synth driven parts. The songs might be sung in a traditional style or the vocal mixed back into a weave with the music making for more colourful instrumentals. The result is a kaleidoscope of sound and vocal juxtapositions that brings the subject matter to life wonderfully. What could have been a sonorous mess remains airier and listenable. In keeping with more recent Hawkwind releases the sound is lighter and clearer with much of the fuzziness of older albums now gone.
