"Infinity" was very, very nice.  It was an excellent example of a 
Hawkwind track that manages to be soft and floaty, yet rock, without 
disappearing into consciously modernist electronica.

I quite hope they keep "Images" in the set, too!  I had just been saying 
to John before the gig how it was one of my fave "lost" Hawkwind tracks, 
and my favorite studio track from _Space Bandits_ (though the live 
versions of "Out of the Shadows" tend towards the awesome): it's got 
straight-up blanga, and some ambienty bits, some metalish power chording 
riffing, and a good vocal melody to boot.  I was very (pleasantly) 
surprised to then hear it in the gig!

They've got a few tricks up left their sleeve, the Hawks do ....

Cheers,
Carl
