I got it from Our Price for 19.99, instead of HMV at 22.50.

What I would like to say is that I am impressed with someone in the
Hawkwind camp. For the first time in ages there appears to be some
promotion behind a new HW album. I mean getting in the 2 for 22 pounds at
HMV has got to help. The other piece of promotion was in Our Price, where
they have a 'our recommendation' bit which has a paragraph about the CD,
and they were saying something about it being HW's 1st studio album in 2
years, and the results are mindblowing. Or something equally positive,
designed to shift units. I haven't seen this amount of advertising since I
saw a scrappy 2 colour poster for a Flicknife LP.

And for all of you waiting for the 1999 party, well let me just say that
your lives are incomplete and every minute without it is a wasted minute
of your life.    There, has that helped?
