NIK: Eldslandet Gig with DarXtar 16/12/95

[Paul G Ward]

Gidday Hawkwfans!

First of all, my thanks to Henrik HawkSwede for sending me the tapes!

It seems that the folk in Sweden where swept back to 1973 in
December last year. I quite enjoyed the tapes of the Nik Turner gig
backed by DarXtar. I haven't listened to all of the DarXtar only
tape yet, but the NikWind section was great. Nik *still* can't sing
for shit, but the music itself seems to be very true to the original
Hawkwind. I was somewhat surprised by the inclusion of _Kadu Flyer_,
and have learnt that you *can* have 'un-plugged' Hawkwind ... as in
the end of _High Rise_. _Sonic Attack_ was the only track that I was
dissappointed with.

So ends the shortest review of my 'career'.

Paul
