HAWKWIND
A SPACE ROCK ODYSSEY
(1970-2005)
HAWKWIND's history has been marked by a series of confusing line-ups through 40 or so personnel changes. Their sound has continued to metamorphose and evolve: an almost jazz feel ("Hawkwind"), the "experimental" & acoustic sounds of early releases ("In Search of Space"), changing to the metal sound of their days (mid 70's), and a modern electronic feel on the latest ("Electric Teepee"). Yes, one can detect definite evolutions. With the primary use of the synthesizer, heavy and delay with the touch of techno, HAWKWIND practically created a genre of music that be called: psychedelic space-rock. Their creativity seems to be in the use of the synths to add to the intense moods of their songs. They were the master of the acid-space rock genre.
There are at least 100 total albums that are either compilations, EP's, bootlegs of live performances, etc. Be careful before buying live records : so many are multi-edited...

Only downloadable by premium members?
Probably because you have been downloading too much lately. ;)
Rapidshare volontary blocks the free downloads when there are too many people downloading. You just have to wait a little bit ;-)
