Master of the Universe
Born to Go
Children of the Sun
You Shouldn't Do That
Seven by Seven
Paradox
The Psychedelic Warlords
Brainstorm
Lord of Light
Space is Deep
Down through the Night
Time We Left This World Today

Calvert:
Master of the Universe
Born to Go
Seven by Seven (with Brock)
Brainstorm
Lord of Light

Brock:
Children of the Sun
You Shouldn't Do That (with Lemmy)
Paradox
The Psychedelic Warlords
Space is Deep
Down through the Night
Time We Left This World Today (with Lemmy)

I chose kind of first done by,although Brock will ahve sung them all at some point I would imagine
I think I got it right,although the guys here will correct anything/everything as neccesary.

well the original Master of the Universe & Children of the Sun were sung by Nik and he also sang on Shouldn't do That,
also Brainstorm - seeing as it was his song
Bob sung Born to Go on the Greasy Truckers version - I always thought it was Nik on Space Ritual
and Dave sung Lord of Light (or Lihgt, if you had the German 7" :wink:

)

I've allways thought that Turner were singing Master Of the Universe and Brainstorm (Space Ritual) version and Brock sing Lord of Light from same album.
Maybe I'm wrong

I'd say it's a fair bet that I'm wrong

Was just a best guess.

i've always thought Nik sounded kinda 'gay' when he sang, so his style stood out

Nasal is the term I'd use to describe Nik's vocalising !!

Have listened several times to both Master of the universe, Brainstorm and Lord of light and I am definetily sure that Turner do the vocals both live and studio on the first two ones and Brock on Lord of light. Lemmy also do some backing voc on Brainstorm I think.
Easy to hear his voice in the background.
But as I said in the other post, I may be wrong.

Yes, nasal is my opinion too

About Calvert in the early daze I can only recognize his vocal on Urban Guerilla and some tracks on Space Ritual like Sonic Attack, Born to go, Orgone accumulator, The Awakening, Welcome to the future and 10 seconds of forever. I know Moorcock did some Calvert stuff's voc during the tour and his own written Sonic Attack depending on Calvert's "freaky" physical periods.

Lol

I think its best described as "affected".

Anyone else think the title of this thread sounds a bit like something you'd hear on Sunday night Radio Two, three decades ago. "Sing something Simple" with the Hawkwind singers?

I find it easy to tell if its Calvert, Turner or Brock singing, and sometimes it's all 3!

Agree, but it took me many years to know that Calvert do the Sonic Attack on Space Ritual :shock:
