I concur, though in this case I thought Ron's contributions were about 
the best thing on the album, though there was a decent instrumental (?), 
I think, from Jerry as well.  Sounded a bit unfinished (_looked_ a bit 
unfinished!) and did not have the world's greatest material on it.  20 
or 30 quid?  That's madness.  Honestly, Hawkwind have released 
mind-blowingly awesome albums and ... not very good albums.  _Distant 
Horizons_ is not one of the former, IMO :)

Speaking of Hawkwind, I haven't heard much news about doings in their 
camp.  Are they gonna release the blimmin' Roadburn concert?  It's 
getting on towards having been a year since the gig.  What about the 
Magna thing?

Cheers,
Carl
