4 stars Following the rather transitional Stories From Time and Space, There Is No Space For Us takes the sound of that album, tightens it up, and throws in a few curveballs for good measure - for instance, the title track takes us out of space rock and more into the realm of a sort of space folk, before transitioning into the soundscape territory of The Outer Regions of the Universe. Worry not, though, because heavier moments such as on Neutron Stars (Pulsating Light) have their place as well, and seem to be more prominent than on the previous album. Dave Brock's vocals seem a little distant - not quite buried in the mix, but not especially foregrounded either - and though this is hardly new in the Hawkwind discography (it's often part of their style) it seems to be dialled up somewhat here, but otherwise this will likely please anyone who enjoys recent Hawkwind.

4 stars This album follows in similar vein to the recent output and that is no bad thing. You could almost call this an instrumental album, although in actual fact only a very few tracks are totally instrumental. However vocals are in general brief and occasional and perhaps slightly too far in the mix although that seems to be their style these days. The closing song A Long Long Way From Home is the gentlest track on the album leaving us in a more calm mood and you could be fooled into thinking it is an instrumental when in fact the song title is just sung once right at the end. Space Continues (Lifeform) is totally instrumental over its 8 minute journey and my favourite track on the album, play it loud and try and tell me there is not a hint of Pink Floyd's One Of These Days.
