        Well, let's also recall that what is the most Hawkwind-like
song on _Alien 4_ (despite the silly vocals from Ron)?  "Sputnik Stan".
Composed by?  Alan Davey.
        Yes he's definately the man for HW on bass without Lemmy there.
Anyone who can suss out the essence of Hawkwind sufficiently to turn
out a great track like _Sputnik_ deserves major kudos.

        Now I await an eventual Brock/Davey rock-out extraveganza!
        (Yeah, right!  But here's hoping ...)

Cheers,
Carl
