        The credit is Mandelkau/House/Turner on Nik's 'Past or Future':
howeer. strangely, the original LP claims it as Mandelkau/House/Calvert.
It seems a bit much to suggest that this is the standard practice of the
Hawkwind population changing credits with a new synth part, given that
it's Nik...
        Jamie Mandelkau was a Ladbroke Grove type wheeler/dealer person,
who was also involved with the Pink Fairies and indeed helped them choose
their name.
        As for 'Dying Seas, well, I like it, throwaway or not. Classic
Turner. The 'Past or Future' version is possibly better. After all
'Paranoid' was a throwaway...
        But Nik still hasn't written a new song since 1985, as far as I
can tell. Yours,
                  Jon

P. S. I'm not giving him any credit for the one on 'The Eternal Sky',
until he writes a tune I shan't be satisfied. In this regard at least.
