In the event of a sonic attack..seek advice from Hawkwind??

Not a bad collection of tracks, many of which were live favourites.

The title track is an amusing "announcement" of the action to be taken in the event of an attack, such as "bringing all bodies to orgasm simultaneously". The track had of course already appeared on "Space ritual" so I'm not sure why it was felt necessary to re-record it for this album. It is amusing, but the song does not bear repeated listening.

The best track is actually the last one, "Trans dimensional man", which is pure space rock. The rest are mainly ambient links instrumentals, and pop based rock tracks, nothing really outstanding but on the plus side, mainly listenable.

Dave Brock and Harvey Bainbridge share both vocal and keyboards duties, while Michael Moorcock contributes some of the lyrics, and sings on "Coded languages". Good, but with so many albums to chose from, not among the best of the Hawkwind collection.
