HW: Paradogs

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

Here's my opinion of Paradogs (as done for the last but one CDS catalogue):
JERRY RICHARDS & ALF HARDY: Paradogs    CD£
All new instrumental project from Hawkwind electric guitarist and Tubilah
Dog synth player, and it's a corker. With twelve tracks that inhabit a range
from driving space-rock to real Hawkwind-esque synthscapes with plenty of
the trademark synth swoops, effects and swirls in amongst the melodies and
atmospherics, to which are added an assortment of hard drum rhythms
(electronic and programmed) and textural samples and the whole thing has
that immaculate mix of feel and vibrancy down to a tee. It has that
all-important multi-textured sound with deep resonance, rivers of dreamy and
spacious synths, plus guitar work that takes both lead and textural roles.
Some of the tracks are largely synths-dominated while others reveal two
musicians going supanova with some red hot guitar work, and throughout the
album,  every track a gem. Anyone into the instrumental sides of synth-rock,
real space music and space-rock will get years of pleasure out of this
superbly played, structured, composed and produced album.
