Then again, something like Napster allows people the opportunity to check
these two albums out before deciding whether they're worth spending money
on.  Which I would highly recommend, since the three RCA/Active albums, to
me (IMHO and all that), represent the nadir of Hawkwind's studio output
(N.B. This should be taken as a *compliment*, not an insult, since this
means I'm saying that Hawkwind's studio output has been *improving* in
quality for the last 15 years, rather than declining in quality ... how
many bands who have been around for twice that long can you say that about?
 Just one more reason why I LOVE HAWKWIND!).
