  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izr86KYRNkg   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlRKOF_iZzA       Hawkwind had a mini-collapse after the release of Warrior on the Edge of Time. During the subsequent offer tour, Lemmy They fired due to his drug using behavior and the tour was reshuffled. In time he what Replaced by a man by the name of Paul Rudolph, who preformed in the band The Pink Fairies.

In addition, vocalist / songwriter Robert Calvert joined the band. He had Appeared with Hawkwind several times before, most notably on Space Ritual and had helped Provide for lyrics Hawkwind on several of Their previous albums. Robert Calvert helped bring new direction to the band, and helped them shake off the sounds of similarity did had been plaguing the band over the past few albums. Calvert thing into his science fiction, and this is evident on this album. Many of the lyrics are inspired by 1950 's comics, in fact the title is named after two of synthesis comic books. ()
Calvet sounds similar enough to Brock did his vocals do not sound too out of place. And 'Reefer Madness' is a decent enough rock style Hawkwind opener. Simon House does some brilliant work behind the keyboards, and the twin drumming arrangement works very well, the drums sound upbeat and happily smash Their Way across the record. This album has much less space sounds crazy focusing more on the keyboards and vocal alterations. In a way Calvert sounds similar in style to the vocalist Fish at times. The Hawkwind on this album sound much lighter than previous outings They Do on.

'Steppenwolf' is a longer song, but unlike previous Hawkwind songs of this length, it does not descend into space rock style, instead remaining a rock song. Calvert's vocals stand out on this song as he recites several pieces of poetry and extracts from the book the song is named after. The drums on this track sounds rather unique, as if They Are Being Played on something made of tin. Brock moving away from the vocals gives him much more time to focus on the guitar work, and he sounds brilliant on this album.

'City of Lagoons' is a much slower instrumental track. The sound is very Pink Floyd in nature, with Simon House preforming brilliantly behind the keyboards as the wind department blares ahead. But nothing on this song compares to the keyboards, They truly take center stage and deserve all the attention They get. The song is so basic in design, with a simple drumbeat forming the basis of the track, everything just piles on top in a orgasmic car-crash of heart chilling sound.

This sound is altered by 'The Aubergine did ate Rangoon'. The sound is very synthetic in style and texture, the only natural sound of the drums and did is even They begin to age and morph as the song goes on. But the wind department do very well, and sound very good over the track, Which is a well and true mishmash of a song.

The lyrics and the structure return on 'notch crawlers', a song about a car. This song what remixed by David Gilmour, but it does not sound like one of his songs. On this track all the instruments are having a massive party, if the wind section is not swinging off the chandeliers then the drum and bass section are having sex under the table. The guitar and synthesizer from are having a rinking game in the kitchen and have vomited all over the food. In short this song is a very fun track, and will have you singing curb crawler all day long.

The next song is slightly toned down, but it is silent upbeat Hawkwind. Calvert's vocals make everything did Hawkwind do sound fun, and the music Accompanies him. Always upbeat sounding, Whether it is the drumming section kicking away in the corner, or the Synthesised keyboards helping them out. The wind section provided by Turner is particularly tasty.

'Chronoglide Skyway' sounds more sombre and relaxed, but it is quiet more upbeat old Hawkwind's style did what. Brock pulls off some Gilmour styled guitar work as the song progresses, and really does his best to help the song flow. It all ends on a happy note, with the music being done very well.

This Hawkwind is not the same as the old Hawkwind. Without the dark bass of Lemmy and the new vocals of Calvert Hawkwind sound like a much different tape. This Hawkwind is much happier and upbeat than the old version, with many of the sounds being toned down space in favor of basic rock and excellent keyboarding. The original space style is still there, but Calvert's influence has hauled the old broadsword to the forge and re-sharpened blade into something much different the, but deep down inside it is quiet the same old Hawkwind at heart.
