I'm not sure that it's a million miles from the Hawks myself, although I
wouldn't argue that indefinately. I think there's a certain vibe in
common. A love of spacesuits, for a start. <g> The big difference is HW
is Acid/Spacerock, Spiritualised are Perscription Meds/Spacerock!

Chris, I do recommend the new one. The packaging is really something if
nothing else. It does have more rock-out numbers on it than LGM with a
couple of real white noise zone outs. But then half of it is still very
"floaty". I like it a *whole lot*
