Hawklords (aka Hawkwind) - 25 Years On (UK Spacerock 1978 @256)

Search for test78 to find my other uploads. Hawkwind album from 1978. Not their best known work, but not at all a bad album. Hawkwind had to change their name to Hawklords for legal reasons, maybe because Dave Brock was the only original member. After a brief respite, he and Calvert regrouped with a new rhythm section (Harvey Bainbridge on bass, Martin Griffin on drums), and a new name: The Sonic Assassins. Steve Swindells (ex-Pilot... "Oh ho ho it's magic, y'know, never believe it's not so.") then joined on keyboards and the name transmogrified yet again to: Hawklords. The 'lords recorded 25 YEARS ON with King and House fluttering about in the periphery contributing the odd bit here and the nice bit there. This is a challenging album -- the songwriting is strong and you have to commend Brock and Calvert for trying to move in a new direction, picking up some of the power pop/punk/new wave aura of the day. Now if someone would upload pinkwind, Xhawkwind or the hawkestra bootleg it would really make my day :D 256kbs Tracklist: 1. Psi Power 2. Free Fall 3. Autumoton 4. 25 Years 5. Flying Doctor 6. The Only Ones 7. Only The Dead Dreams Of A Cold War Kid 8. The Age Of The Micro Man Enjoy!

I'll be uploading the Hawkestra 2000 audience bootie about a week from now... And that upload will not contravene Hawkwind's trading conditions, unlike some posts on this site.
