HW: SpaceBrock question

[starfield]

Re SpaceBrock,

I am fortunate enough to have heard a preview of this album. Yes, its a Dave
Brock solo, though Richard does contribute some drums.

And yes, there are one or two tracks that have been heard before, but a lot
of the album will be new to you.  It's very trippy, and a good progression
from Strange Trips and Pipe Dreams.

Very nice booklet too, with some previously unseen early HW photos in
colour.

Captain Bl at ck.
