Codex question: open for debate

[Jill Strobridge]

chink! - <the sound of my 2 pence-worth>

It depends if genuine Hawkwind music is being used in the remix.
If the tracks contain music originally recorded by the band which is
simply being remixed then I would submit that we have to say it's a
Hawkwind track (however much mutated) and add it to the Codex.
If however the whole track has been recreated and it contains no
genuine Hawkwind material then it's a cover and should not be in the
Codex.

Can anyone disintangle the tracks sufficient to make this
distinction?

cheers
