Well, you could buy a dodgy old bass or get some software synths and  
DAW software and mess around for a couple of years and then you'd  
probably be quite close to making as much music that you heard in  
your head as ol´ Harvey can/has.  After all, the magic of technology  
make that a lot cheaper and easier than it used to be! :)

If he's responsible for the synth solo in the _Palace Springs_  
"Golden Void", then I'm going to agree.  IMO, the Brock/Davey/ 
Chadwick/House/Bainbridge lineup was the finest "post-Classical"  
Hawkwind lineup there has been.  Much though I like Huw and Tim Blake  
(and even Ron Tree had his moments), that's the one for me. :)  Even  
if the albums _do_ have programmed drums ....

Cheers,
Carl
