        The Psychedelic Archive at <www.delerium.co.uk> (I'm afraid I
can't get at the full URL just now can probably answer this if no-one else
can...

        I have the first, _Of Stars And Time_, which is on EBS, and
although the originality is dubious and the vocals make me cringe, it is
nevertheless quite good Hawkwind-clonery. The sound is however appalling,
it sounds like (as Carl once put it) it was recorded in a vacuum cleaner.
Also, the lyrics are really pants. I'm told the sound is improved on the
fsecond one, but the rest may not be. It is however still available, being
stocked by Delerium (URL above) and CDS at the least (I don't have their
address but someone else can provide I imagine). Hope this helps, yours,
