Gong. Something like "Live, etc" will give you a good sampling of their work.

Hi,

Guru Guru should be here in their first albums:

UFO - 1970
Hinten - 1971
Kanguru - 1972

The live album that was released later with Ax Genrich is also a part of this stuff.

It is both psychedelic and spacy ... and far out. It is something that we don't discuss here, but the insanity to take the guitar work even further to create something totally crazy ... to the point that many of us will just say ... that's noise, not music! But the idea is far out and then some!

Dance of the Flames fits a bit as psych, but after the two really neat major cuts in it, the rest is probably not as strong. The new guitarist must think he is a younger John McG. Still a very good album, but a transitional one that we will get confused about the band and its work.

And if that is not enough Tango Fango is a bit like Kraan in my book, but features one of the best psych things ever that no one here will listen to it, because it is not only historical, it is political, and ... it's funny ... but we don't like the early rock mentions instead of some progressive hero. Das Lebendige Radio .... is way too neat in telling us a lot about the time and place, but the song riders in the progressive music history don't give a cow's poop about it, even though it is very with it!

Hi,

Hawkwind, has a few other albums worthy of consideration.

Terribly misunderstood and not liked as much is ELECTRIC TEPEE, which is an acid rock album, just about, non stop and totally well done, and it is the kind of album that you want to play really loud and let it take you away. The only one thing in the end, is a small pow-wow, and the idea is that the band is, for all intents and purposes, just doing a pow-wow when in concert. This is not an idea that some folks can relate to, but it is really well done and deserves the listen. It probably is my own favorite Hawkwind album, in that I can just trip out and enjoy the highlights of exceptional instrumentation on the album.

Likewise, not as strong and an "assault" is the album that follows, that is more of an ambient album, than it is a rock album, and it kinda seems confusing to a fan, with all the really different stuff, but it is a very nice album all the way through with only one odd thing in it ... the Rolling Stones song, brings down the album, and while I understand how/what the band did with it and what for, in the end, it did not fit the album, and throws off what could be a really nice concept album, and ends up making you and I think it is just a bunch of songs and that it doesn't really matter ... a very poor decision in my book, and a disrespectful one in regards to the history and the work that the band had done for so long. But, if you can listen all the way up until that one song, this album is super nice. Not quite psychedelic, but still strong otherwise.
