A bit early to decide that!

It is early but it's definitely not. It's OK but not spectacular and some distance from classic territory.

Had to vote no even though the song is growing on me. Didn't like it when I first heard it but after a couple of listens it's charms are revealed to me. I suspect that even if I loved it I would still have to vote no as it is not the greatest ever written.

Has to be a no I'm afraid. I don't dislike it, it's just less memorable than any of the other full tracks on Disc 1, which to me doesn't place it anywhere near any "best ever" category. I'm not a bit fan phrases like that anyway, it's usually only used to market bland compilations, and (to get pretentious) doesn't properly reflect the subjective and transient nature of musical enjoyment. Innit. Did I say that out loud?

Let's perform a mind experiment:
I'm a ballsy fucker, and given it's timing combined with the quality and a high effectiveness potential as planetary tool ...(it's the sane people who are not sane

)
I'll go here with you here.

Title still belongs to the Space Ritual version of Master of the Universe.

Blush, I thought I was voting on the album for some reason. I don't even know what "the prophecy" is yet

But for me "Born" and "Orgone" would be (the) surgically removed gemstones off SR.
anyway. I'm an "idiot", I admit it, where my meds

and after 2 spins, Computer Cowards is going to be hard to shake it seems

It's the melodic song that ends with ice cream van chimes.

Yes.... the middle section's mind-melting guitar intensity just sets the bar too high, for anything else to get a look-in!

However, I'll wait another week, and then vote!

'The Prophecy' is really boring, but in a good way, it seems to be a song about cosmic tedium..

I voted maybe. It's good, but not really an anthem..

When I made the point to notice this track yesterday, I was indeed "shocked" at the difference in opinion as to what the best of the best is. But i am used to this difference with Hawkwind, and it always amazes me.
I was hoping someone might decode THIS prophecy:

"today's red man is white ,and tommorow's white man is green"
does this mean we're gonna have "2 hearts" and maybe have to get sealed in down below?? :mrgreen:
