LEVITATION

I was more than pleasantly surprised when I heard this work of Hawkwind. I new them only through compilation "Masters of Universe" and heard several classic 70s songs and was not much impressed. "Levitation" is more polished and accessible style, still retaining the "space/heavy" sound as a guidance. It reminds me of the sound often heard on BLUE OYSTER CULT albums, which in this case means positive evaluation of early "proto/prog/metal". Tim Blake ex-GONG gives a flavour of space with his synth. Recommended.
