Mmmm. Alien, at least. The tune already has a sinister edge
to it which would be well complemented by the Shadow sounds.

You are too kind :) but I agree my sister did a great job--
she doesn't even really know any space-rock bands pretty well but I
think she did a better job of combining a classic and modern
"swooshy noise" vibe than Hawkwind does! I've often thought she'd
be the best thing for the HW synth dept. barring a return of DikMik and
Del! And I find it very difficult to say something that nice about
my sister (older brothers everywhere will understand ;)
As for dancing in undress and breathing fire ... I'll have to
ask her ;) She might find it difficult to keep the synths and samples
running smoothly at the same time ...
Cheers,
Carl
