You're most welcome.  I *highly* recommend checking out the archives to
everyone on the list.  There's an incredible wealth of information, and
accounts of tons of fantastic experiences people have had with Hawkwind
(and other bands!) in there.

Dave was supposed to have written the liner notes to a reissue of one of
their albums, but I have no idea whether or not it actually happened.  He's
*definitely* a fan, and Neu! were *definitely* an influence/inspiration
for "Opa-Loka", a song that captures the Neu! pulse most excellently.

You'll probably want to pick up their third album, 'Neu! 75', next.  The
second ('Neu! 2') is also very good, but suffers from really only being
half an album (the other half is the same songs played back at different
speeds!).

Enjoy!
