> Anyone know what HW track(s) are included?

The usual...did you expect anything different?  :)
Not that Silver Machine represents the most "prog" effort
by Hawkwind ever...by quite some distance mind you.

P.S.  Who can tell me exactly who Matthew Wright is?

P.P.S.  BBC-Prime has been showing episodes of Red Dwarf
here in der Schweiz recently.  At first I was rather
disappointed, as the humor didn't seem to be much connected
to the Sci-Fi aspect of the show's presumed setting (a la
Galaxy Quest)...but rather more like 'Blackadder goes Forth
into Outer Space' with the characters just making fun of
the relative failings of each other.  But then I saw the
episode where they put on virtual reality helmets and
keep stepping on each others' fantasies, and then last
week was the 'alternate (female-dominated) universe'
episode, and these were quite funny and gave me some more
faith in the virtue of this series.  Does it get better
from here on out, or worse, or what?

P.P.S.  I've just seen (and 'toured with' briefly) Circle
in Bern & Zuerich...Jyrki Laiho (one of the guitarists),
has (at-least-temporarily), split from the band, and so
they played almost all brand new music with the remaining
four (as before).  Some interesting stuff in the works,
not so unlike other recent efforts.  They now go to visit
Faust's new home in Bayern (where they will build a new studio
soon) and then off for a few more dates in Germany.  And
then soon will start to record this new material, with or
without Jyrki (Jussi says "We need to talk first...").
The new Pharaoh Overlord is out (on a US label), as is
another Ektroverde and another spinoff with Jussi & Mika
Ratto.
