I quite liked Jason live but here the plinkety piano adds something dangerously like Rockney to the feel of things, something I think only `Brainbox Pollution' really copes with in the Hawkwind catalogue. Still a good song but rightly relegated to bonus-ville here.

There are a few places in the Hawkwind catalogue where the piano works very well (e.g. "Paradox"), but perhaps many more places where it does not.

Cheers,
Carl
