HW: Starfield

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

I'm not suer if 'blame' is the right word - are you not implying that it's a
bad thing to sound like Hawkwind, by that. Am I the only one who thinks that
if a band is doing original material, suitably influenced by their heroes,
be it Hawkwind or whoever, that as long as the music 'per se' is quality,
that is the bottom line - I have had way, way more positive feedback for the
Krel, and about 70-30 on Spacehead from those who've bought it over the
duration, so something must be right - if only the sales of the Doug Snyder
CD I put out reflected the amazing reaxtions that's getting, I'd be well
happy - still, more to come.
On that score, the first of the Krel 'old music' on CD has now been planned
and negotiations are afoot - news soon, I hope.
