#1067 Hawkwind - In Search of Space

Space rock! It's theremins, synthesizers, swirly guitars, moaning vocals; psychadelia's unworldiness stretched to prog rock proportions, with all the indulgence and spectacle that implies. There's little in the way of big solos, little in the way of aggression, this is proto-post-rock, above it all and outside it all, chugging with Krauty atmosphere and propulsion. In 2013 there's nothing here that sounds all that groundbreaking, and it's unwillingness to rouse you from your spaceland reverie keeps it from really baring its claws, but its a rich, strange trip as rockandroll-fueled trips go 3.5/5
