I suggest you add the following:

Xitintoday

 UK Charisma CDS 4011
 Nikt Records 333 (1998)

performed by:
Allan Powell (drums)  George Kazazian (percussion)  Harry Williamson (guitars, vocals, keyboards)  Jeremy Gilbert (keyboards, harp)  Malcolm Ashmore (drums)  Mike Howlett (bass)  Miquette Giraudy (voices)  Morris Pert (percussion)  Nik Turner (saxophone, flute)  Steve Hillage (guitar, vocals)  Tim Blake (synthesizers)

Excellent space rock with lots of flute and synths. And an exquisite line-up. The best album of 1978!

This LP has been in my top 10 for years - a remarkable journey into deepest space - and to Egypt - Nik T's best work EVER.  There are 3 space-rock albums from 1978 that totally BLOW ME AWAY - Hillage's Green, Tim Blake's New Jerusalem, and this one.  Rare album, I believe, and I got a  mint copy for 5 bucks, but without the booklet.  Still, lucky me

we have it with the booklet. and it seems to be quite rare indeed; sadly hardly anyone knows this precious gem

Everything to do with Hawkwind should be represented on PA.

I would agree about the Lloyd Langton Group; they are not really prog. but who the hell is Nigel Mazlyn-Jones, and what connection does he have with Hawkwind? I can't remember him appearing on any Hawkwind album, and we have them all.

Steve Swindells is a borderline case, in my opinion, but perhaps it would be possible to include him

I'm sure that he never played with Hawkwind - even though most everyone has (!) but he was mentioned as working with Nik Turner or Nik played on his album(s).  I guess I'm a little vague but I will never forget a name like 'Nigel Mazlyn-Jones' and in what context I heard it.
