I was primariliy on here as a BOC fan originally, and IITBOTFTBD was my
second exposure to Hawkwind, the first being listening to Lord of Light
in someone's car on a road trip. While certain parts of it seemed nicely
dreamy, in general had this been my first exposure to them I'm not sure
I would have followed up on getting more stuff. It's not whether it's "heavy"
or not... The next thing I got was Levitation and I absolutely loved that...
I think the thing that I was most intrigued from BOTF... were the song titles,
whether or not I liked the song, I was always intrigued by the titles...
