Can you say show?

Anybody here into these guys? Very tripped out psychedelic prog rock resplendent with spacey ambient noise, poetic narratives, saxophonics, an ever changing lineup and Lemmy's presence on bass for a season!

I'm spinning the live double album Space Ritual right now.




Anybody else?

Resplendent. There's a vocab word. I can use big words too, you know.

Contemptible. Infallible. Anticlimactic. Notwithstanding. Yeswithstanding. Ultrawithstanding.

Hawkwind? I haven't listened to these guys in forever! They've got an impossible amount of discography but I've got a few of them kickin around the collection. Space Ritual is the best I've heard so far.


Equivocal. Conglomerate. Confabulate. Equidistant .... mumble grumble mumble

Don't you get all sesquipedalian with me, mister!

Hawkwind!
It's always with me in the mp3 thingy, both Doremi and In search of space.

Cool! You've got excellent taste, Acid!

This was the band along with BLUE CHEER that in the late 90's made start a quest for all things heavy psych/prog in the 70's!

I recently picked up Doremi... and I can't get enough of it. Absolutely fantastic.

These guys really got bagged on by the music press back in the day (but so did Sabbath). It's good to see the truth win out after several decades in both cases.
Space Ritual I never get sick of...and Doremi has many of the same songs in studio. Classics. I like some of their late 70's stuff (Quark Strangeness, Levitation) with Ginger Baker, etc. It's punkier & proggier than their classic stuff, but very fun to listen to. Reefer Madness is a rockin' and hilarious song.

Always liked the song Silver Machine,had a tape years ago,can't remember the name of it,need to get the original studio version of that song,fraekin chorus still runs through my head sometimes...........

Finally got a copy of it(Silver Machine),now it is permanently stuck in there,curious though, a question for their faithful,is it a drug reference ?

What other songs or albums by them can you recommend that have a similiar driving kinda hard rockin sound,only thing I have in the vault is Warrior On The Edge of Time.

Kinda like the "spacey" sound ,any heavier purveyors of the sound you can recommend for the uninitiated.........

Check out Ozric Tentacles Sabb!

Ok,here it is

just took a ride
in a silver machine
and I'm still feeling mean
I got a silver machine
Do you want to ride
see yourself going by
other side of the sky
Well I got a silver machine
It flies sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your Zodiac sign
It flies out of a dream
It's anti-septically clean
You're gonna know where I've been
In my silver machine

I was listening to it the other day and a the anti-septic line caught my ear and I mis-heard the next line,I thought he said "You gotta know what I mean" and I began to wonder,wait a minute,is it a needle ?
Sorry,just so damn many drug references around,you just don't know sometimes.I have always thought that the mind itself is the greatest "trip",just sitting sometimes with something heavy and grooving on ,while pondering the universe...........

Yeah,sometimes its just your perception I think,its funny but I can hear particular lines in particular songs and it click that that is the way I feel.I think IMHO,that is the mark of a great lyric writer,Dave Chandler of Vitus and Eric Wagner of Trouble are good examples,yet I know they are writing about drugs or drink,certain lines just hit home.Those two in particular have written my thoughts and feelings and opinions many times. Politically/socially,Weinrich and Chandler, and the guys from Count Raven tend to voice what I am thinking, along with a little help from Grave Digger.
