Hawkwindforum

was listening to that one ten minutes ago ! Wow.
Right now : Bevis Frond (can't remember the name of the song)

A really good song

and now there's

Vanessa Mae - Storm ( the album ), got one dvd too and f.... she's good
Her Focus's " Hokus Pokus " version very loud right now. no neighbours here

today :

King Crimson – Three Of A Perfect Pair outtakes
Only for hardcore King Crimson fans – but if you like this period of their history, you’ll enjoy this. Lots of different versions and unheard bits ; the sound is really raw (studio rehearsals probably badly taped) but it’s interesting nevertheless – provided you like the Levin/Belew/Bruford team (which I do).

Mad Sin – Break The Rules
Well, Mad Sin are a great band, live (who said a “BIG” band, live ?) – but their studio efforts are sometimes a bit… Disappointing. Not that the songs are bad, in their trademark Motorhead VS Stray Cats way ; but the sound is really tiny. It lacks the raw power it deserves !

Overkill - Coverkill (not one of their best to be honest)

Rush, Hemispheres

The Cult - Born Into This

Simon House - Yassasim.

Enya - Amerantine

Could you give me a quick report on this MH? Was thinking of getting it a while back, but then just forgot bout it.

Hello stevie k, I will try to review it for ya. It might be a mess so forgive my amateurism. Here goes.

TRACK1 - YASSASIM, Starts with some nice synth blips, bass and tribal drum machines kick in to establish the pace of the tune. Simon starts some fierce electric violin over the top. Back to synth/keys for a few verses before Simons back with some angry violin dittys. Stays pretty much the same with violin verses and synth/keys verses until the end of the song, great drumbeats throughout. Running time 7.41.

TRACK2 - ORION, Nice gentle tune after the madness of the opening track. Starts with a bit of violin before the synths/keys kick in to get the tune going. Mainly soft violins and its quite a nice ambient tune. Great bendy synth/keys. Running time 8.40.

TRACK3 - NORTHLANDS, Synthy start with some nice soft cymbal work in the backround. Slow build up, a little bit of drums into a soft bit of violins, almost reminds me of the sea. Synthy mid section with some church like keyboard bits, nice piano work and some more serious violin playing. I think its got an Irish feel to it in places. Running time 15.33.

TRACK4 - OMEDLOR RIDES AGAIN, Sort of a Harvey Bainbridge sounding synth intro. A mid paced tune, tribal drum patern with electric guitar? sounds from the synths/keys along with some nice violin. Running time 7.24.

TRACK5 - LAITHWAITE STARDRIVE, Starts with some nice synths/keys work. Drums kick in some more synths/keys guitar? Some nice short violin solos. Running time 6.19.

TRACK6 - NEUROSCAPE, Nice spacey intro on synths with violin. A dancey beat to tap your toes along with, a good violin tune with some nice synth swooshes. Nice weird tune, I like it. Running time 7.43.

TRACK7 - SHERWOOD, Synthy start, oriental Chinese feel to this one with dulcimer, drums, synths/keys and violin. Pretty mellow sort of like a Chinese Robin Hood on acid. Running time 4.30.

TRACK8 - OLDAYZE, Nice violin and keys start. A slow tune, violin and keys carry on then drums. Another almost oriental to this but not as prominent as sherwood. Running time 4.49.

The sound quality on the Emergency Broadcast System copy is not that great. I suggest playing it louder. Hope this has helped. It IS woryh buying.

Not heard of it... thanx to merseyhawk for the review info

Currently playing my Hawkwind in rough chronological order, as a sort of test. Wed-Fri, covered 1969-70 with Dawn of Hawkwind, Weird 108 and the first album. Tonight: ISOS.
