SPACEBROCK

I think that 'Spacebrock' may be the new studio album, but don't quote me (no press releases sometimes makes life difficult). The usual suspects make appearances on the album, but the mainstay throughout is Dave Brock. He has even managed to put Shakespeare to 'music', and even gives our Will a co-credit on the track! In fact, it is like the band of old, with some great riffing guitar and spaced out keyboards. There is even "The First Landing On Medusa", which was co-written with Robert Calvert. Overall an intriguing album. Although not as immediate as much of their work in the Seventies this is a welcome respite to the many 'rare' CD's currently coming out. Worth hearing.
