DOREMI FASOL LATIDO

Lemmy the Lurch jumped on board the Hawkwind Spaceship and he injected the right amount of bass rythym to this unit. The album as a result works well as a proto Motorhead journey into space. The Hawkwind trademark of weird spacey effects from keyboards saturate each track and its a voyage from beginning to end into another universe. We begin the voyage with the gatecrashing rocker 'Brainstorm'. It is featured on many compilations and in various lengths as well as on the live "Space Ritual" masterpiece. A track to savour, its a highlight of the Hawkwind repertoire.

'Space is deep' is another space effect laden track with some mesmirising guitars and vocals.

'Lord of light' is one of my favourites and it merges seamlessly into the quieter 'Down through the night' where Brock excels on vocals.

'Time We Left This World Today' has terrific bass from Lemmy showing his dexterity as a player like you have never heard.

The bonus tracks are excellent featuring the obligatory classic 'Silver machine' again. Its so great though one can't complain about its insertion. I never tire of it, even on the 100th listen. Brilliant!

'Urban Guerilla', 'Brainbox Pollution' and 'Ejection' are fabulous hard driving tracks with tons of echoing vocals, effects, and crunching fuzz guitar.

Overall this is one of the best albums from Hawkwind. Of course the best was yet to come with the live extravaganza, "Space Ritual".
