HW: Upcoming Litmus Gigs (and a Space Ritual gig)

[trev]

Hallo Iain,

Well, I'm not perfect - no. I agree entirely with your view of Spaceritual.
I have always liked Hawkwind but they have never been my favourite band
Hawkwind at one stage represented freedom in a society riddled with class
injustice and all the rest of the crap that the 60's revolution swept before
it. Remember the Roadhawks album cover - a truly inspiring piece of work -
it inspired me.
I think that musically, Hawkwind are supreme in one particular area - the
riff. Take Masters of the Universe guitar riff (thanks Dave Anderson) and
many others - these have become classics in the repertoire of so many
guitarists. These riffs embody a transcendent trance effect - you can play
them over and over and over - and they can take you places. No other band
has ever surpassed them in this area (in my humble opinion).

Anyway - peace brother.

(maybe I should have put a lol at the end of my last message)
