Here is it inline:

A review of Hawkwind's Space Ritual: Collector's Edition:

"And aside from Sun Ra, few artists captured that sense of mind-warping,
my-God-it's-full-of-stars astronomical mysticism in their music like
Hawkwind. With their tendency towards extended jams full of disorienting
electronic drones and drummer Simon King's motorik rhythms, they had a
certain creative kinship with their Krautrock contemporaries. But their
racket could also be as unrelentingly punchy and violent as anything from
the Stooges' Fun House, especially considering guitarist Dave Brock's Ron
Asheton-esque affinity for blistering, wah-wah-drenched riffs and Nik
Turner's freeform sax outbursts, which were more Steve MacKay than John
Gilmore."
