        Having done as he suggested I strongly suggest you do similar. Not
only is it only eleven quid[1] for 60 minutes of top-notch spacerock, but
some people on reading Andy Garibaldi's write-up in the CD Services
mailout might be forgiven for thinking this band were another Hawkwind
clone. There are some moments of unmistakable derivation (perhaps we could
say `tribute') but never delivered as Hawkwind would have delivered
them. This is actually pretty damn close to being new and exciting in my
cynical and tattered book and though I haven't been able to buy many
albums so far this year this must be in the running for best one, against
Clutch's _Blast Tyrant_ and Nektar's _A Tab In The Ocean_. So buy it I
say. The more they realise they can actually sell stuff the quicker
they'll do the next one :-) Yours,
                                   Jon (who will do some proper reviews
again some day)
