Could somebody recommend me some Early-Hawkwind-esque psych? I am a great fan of the messy, psychedelic and energetic sound of Hawkwind's first five albums, particularly " http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=3883" rel="nofollow - Hawkwind ", " http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=3884" rel="nofollow - Doremi Fasol Latido" , and " http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=3884" rel="nofollow - X In Search of Space ". ------------- I am currently digging: Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz! Please drop me a message with album suggestions. |

I seem to remember the early Nektar albums being in that vein: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=549" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=549 ------------- http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - Metal Music Archives https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Amon Düül II's first two LPs are worth a listen, but maybe that is too obvious a pick since their bassist actually ended up playing on In Search of Space. The harder-edged, more guitar-oriented corner of Krautrock should be right up your alley in general, though: Check out the Ash Ra Tempel S/T and early Guru Guru too... in my opinion those two bands are even closer to the mark than ADII. As far as newer bands go I can recommend Causa Sui, Colour Haze, Dragontears and Los Natas. Also some stuff that isn't on the archives: Check out early Monster Magnet up to and including Superjudge which includes a cover of Brainstorm, but especially also the 25... Tab EP. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

^ Mr Mantis has done his homework !! I'd also include the band AKASHA - they do the space/psych thing amazingly well. Robert Calvert's album 'Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters' is almost a Hawks album in disguise. With lots of comedic segues throughout. In more recent times there's a band called Architectural Metaphor, they almost out-Wind classic period Hawkwind. |

perhaps the Cosmic Jokers may be up your alley too, at least the first two albums. also the only album of Arzachel, at least the second side of the vinyl -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

"Hawk Meets Penguin" by the British Amon Düül is another recommendation ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

Good call on Cosmic Jokers, Jean. That reminds me... The Mystical might also want to listen to Tangerine Dream's first LP: It's a completely different thing than the electronic ambient they'd pioneer soon after, instead being a very wild and noisy guitar-based record with lots of drawn-out improv sections plus bizarre twists and turns in the composition. Kinda reminds me of a cross between the Ash Ra Tempel S/T (no coincidence with Schulze on drums) and the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink mentality of Amon Düül II's Phallus Dei. This thread reminds me of when I heard Hawkwind described as the most German-sounding prog/psych band to ever come out of the UK. Can't remember where or when, or who said that for that matter. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

You are a hundred percent correct. I have been collecting and listening to the artists you've mentioned over 30 years and I agree with you totally. Also....I find the music, the artists, and the time period fascinating.

Psychedelic Moonsterjam would be another alternative. listen to this: with 2 members of the first Guru Guru line-up (Mani Neumeier and Ax Genrich) this should not come as a surprise. unfortunately the uploading program separated the "tracks" which originally flow into each other since this is a live album ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

| Perhaps the odd Faust song such as Krautrock. |

| How about the live disc of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma? |

| Both Nemrud albums are excellent, although they are a little closer to Eloy. |

| Early Pink Floyd(pre DSOTM). Also try "monster movie" by Can. |

"messy, psychedelic and energetic sound "....hmmmm. Perhaps Acid Mother's Temple would be something you might like http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2572" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2572 ------------- Making the useless useful 24/7. |

They are Acid Mother Guru Guru because the drummer is Mani Neumeier of Guru Guru. His style is in my opinion unmistakeable, There is definitely something tribal to his drumming. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

I've listened to a few AMT albums but found them inaccessible. Haven't heard any AMGG yet, though.
I did like Koenjihyakkei's "Angherr Shisspa" very much. Maybe the OP would find this album to their liking. Link: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=9410" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=9410

I'm a fan of Hypnos 69...can't say they sound a lot like Hawkwind but they are psychy space rock with a retro sound and some other prog styles mixed in and they are very good. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| I don't know if I've already mentioned Yugoslavian band 'Igra Staklenih Perli'. They fuse Can, Hawkwind and Pink Floyd very well. |

Algarnas Tradgard:Delayed(recorded in 1974 but only released in 2001)utterly stoned psychedelic madness.Their first one from1972,entitled Framtiden ar ett svavande skepp,forankrat i forntiden is equally good.This band reminds me of Amon Duul 2 or Ash Ra Tempel at their best. ------------- I was born in the land of Mahavishnu,not so far from Kobaia.I'm looking for the world of searchers with the help from crimson king |
