Description
Hawkwind – Hawkwind
‘Hawkwind’ is the self-titled debut album by Hawkwind, released in 1970, originally on Liberty Records. This album is historic since it is one of the first space rock LPs. It’s a charming sounding album with much good music, particularly their three earliest near-signature numbers, the cheerful acoustic tapper ‘Hurry On Sundown,’ the stark surreal sonic wash of ‘Paranoia,’ and the spry jam, ‘Be Yourself,’ highlighted by reedman Nik Turner’s half-Ayler, half-King Curtis saxophone squonk and guitarist Dave Brock’s piercingly melodious break, both over a taut rhythm section and keyboardsman Dik Mik Davies’s tastefully understated electronica.
