LOVE IN SPACE

This is a seriously good live album. Ron Tree is an excellent addition to the band and the song selections are fresh and not too backward-looking (well, there's plenty of old classic stuff elsewhere). A lot of the tracks are taken from their Alien 4 album, which in itself is a slightly flat affair. Not here though. This album is vibrant, veering between driving rock and spacey ambient. Actually, if you can hold of the DVD you will not regret it. Ron Tree looks even better than he sounds! Plenty of great tracks on offer here: Tree doing a good tribute to Calvert on Death Trap, Davey giving a good Sputnik Stan, then Tree again on Robot and a very good Xenomorph. Tree on Silver Machine is also top, top, top! Yes, Hawkfans, this one's a winner.
