At YouTube lists: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPWigfHyxsY&list=PL 203F4 BBEEC3ED55F Hawkwind were never afraid to try something new and That is what Church of Hawkwind is. But new is not always better and That happens to be the case, on this ram shackled piece of work, did Hawkwind produced in the first half of 1982 The 80s are famous for two things Generally, the rise of metal and the use of synthesizer from on everyday music, ranging from pop to metal and everything in between. For this album, Hawkwind stray away from Their standard 'rock' image and throw Themselves Whole heartedly into the sounds of the synthesizer from and the results speak for Themselves. ()
This album is a synthesizer ruled kingdom from start to finish. Dave Brock Became Dr Technical for this album and many of the songs are written by him, albeit poorly. This album is Basically a few inches away from being a Brock solo album, but it just so happens did he Brought Hawkwind along for this roller coaster of hell. Everything Seems to be weak on this record, the songwriting is very poor, with many Either songs being instrumentals or repeats of a few words over and over again. The longer songs with structure are Basically Poems That do not flow, giving the album a staggered tone.
So, Langton and Bainbridge seem to forget thatthey play instruments. Langton's guitar is nearly nowhere to be found and When He does appear, it repeats the same metal 'twang' noise over and over again. Bainbridge has totally left his bass guitar post, throwing himself with fluid grace Onto the keyboard section alongwith Brock. The drumming is so rather poor, with Griffin's drumming being Replaced by simple drum fills that sound like theywere produced from a poor quality drumming machine. Hawkwind have no one on this album willing to take the risk to try anything new, lyrically or musically. They attempt to cover thesis Shortcomings by adding more to the mix synthesiers, but even thesis do not add anything to the album, and just make it appear even more bloated and sluggish.
Church of Hawkwind is not a good album, even the most stand out track; the short but chilling 'experiment with Destiny', is in fact a shortened rehash of the song 'Virgin of the World' From Their previous album Sonic Attack. Church takes away a lot from the sound of Hawkwind and nothing new is added, the synthesiers do their best to fill the gap, but They are shallow and hollow, a mindless mass of blaring 80s beeps, bleeps, whizzes and noise. Church does not even have a proper structure let alone proper songs a very very poor effort from a band who had done so well up to this point. This album is not recommended for anyone who is a fan of Hawkwind, but luckily this album would soon fall into the deep cracks of the 1980 s, and Hawkwind would release a new album a few months later.
