Hmm, I think my copy of the Lava album is on Brain, but that's from memory and
the disc is at home.  The leadoff track is great, even if the lyrics don't make
any
sense.  ("Get me ready for the show"???)  Produced by Connie Planck who even
contributes lead guitar to one track.

Cosmic Overdose from Sweden is a very Hawkwind/Amon Duul II sounding
band.  I've got two albums on vinyl but have been unable to find any CDs.
Vocals are in Swedish so I have no idea what they are singing about, but the
music
has a high blanga score.
