SATIRICON

This is a band you've gotta see live. One of the best live acts around. Their line-up has changed a bit since this excellent DVD but Nik Turner, Mick Slattery, Thomas Crimble, not forgetting the incredible Miss Angel are still there. This DVD is a very fair reflection of their live capabilities - they do give excellent value for money and put heart and soul into their live set. Cosmic Chant is probably the DVDs only weakness - tends to go on too long and too repetitive but as for the remaining two hours - hang on tight, enjoy the journey, turn up the volumes, in fact plug it into your speakers - sheer energy, passion, great musicianship from Nik and Mick in particular and that great dare I say it Hawkwindesque wall of space effects and sounds.

Both Hawkwind and Space Ritual are constantly touring, which is incredible for both pioneers of the early 70s space rock sound - what a treat it is to be able to see both bands still playing forty years later.
