Based on your preferences I can gather from your message, I think
that there is no doubt 'Church of Hawkwind' is where you should go
next.
whoops. heh. sorry. While a fine album, it is further in the direction
of Levitation. Hmm, I dunno. Space Ritual, since you don't seem
to have it on there. Perhaps 'Warrior' and 'Quark' would be good
bridges to get you from Hall to Levitation. If you want a BOC connection,
'Chronicle of the Black Sword' & 'Live Chronicles' have plenty, since
there's the Moorcock bridge (and 'Black Blade' would fit right in), as well
as... lessee, there was a song on there that Moorcock wrote the lyrics
for BOC, they didn't use it and it ended up on Live Chronicles I think.
But get ready for a drop-off in the quality of Drums from Levitation...
