Based on your route to HW, I'd suggest with the Lemmy-era
stuff first...

Hall of the Mountain Grill,
Warrior on the Edge of Time,
etc.

There are lots....
I'd recommend DarXtar....
Alan Davey/Bedouin (he's very influenced by Lemmy...)
Nik Turner's live stuff, esp. his Space Ritual '94...
(stay away from his studio stuff)

avoid Bring Me the Head of Yuri Gagarin

(it pains me that this remains in the Codex, but there's nothing
we can do about that)...

Others on here can probably steer you better than I...
