Ah, well, I'm freely identify myself as belonging to the camp that 
doesn't see dance/techno/electronica as a strong point of Hawkwind's 
current (and semi-current ;) lineups.  Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of 
electronica stuff anyway, but I find HW more convincing when they're 
putting down the blanga.  Or, to put it another way, I think there are 
artists who do electronica better than HW, but I anyone has been able to 
consistently out-blanga them.

Though the good Mr. Tree gave every indication of being fully baked and 
at least as cooked as anyone needs to be ;)

Cheers,
Carl

ps - I should really prefix _XC_ to my statement about "HW albums since 
1990 which have at least a couple of good tracks on them".  I mean, "War 
I Survived" may be almost "Hawkwind-by-numbers", but it still gets my 
head noddin' every time :)  As it should, really!
