👽 I implore all cosmic travellers who crave heavy space-rock to embark on this footage without delay! 🚀🌟
In the swirling vortex of time 🌀,
we find ourselves transported back to the year 1993. 🌍🚀 Here, the
🇸🇪Swedish band DarXtar ignited the stage with an electrifying
performance that echoes the cosmic vibes of legendary pioneers like
Hawkwind and early UFO. 🛸 They launched into their stellar track
"Stars," ✨ a gem from their astral 1993 album "Darker." 🌘 🌙 As the
music cascades through the ether, one can feel the pulsating energy of
harder-edged riffs reverberating through the cosmos. 🌌 🎸 💫The pumping
bass lines create a gravitational pull that draws listeners deeper into
this sonic universe!🪐 🌠 |

✨ What kind of sonic odyssey awaits the curious traveler in the realm
of sound? The answer is as clear as the shimmering rings of Saturn! 🪐
When you gaze upon the name The Spacelords 👽, your mind drifts into a
nebula of cosmic rhythms and astral melodies. 🌌✨This 🇩🇪German
trio, like interstellar voyagers, 💫 🚀 crafts music that transcends earthly
boundaries—welcome to the universe of space rock!🛰️ 🎸
🎶 Their 15-minute-long instrumental track "Unknown Species," performed live in their home town Reutlingen at the music club called Franz K 🌙 in December 2022, is a cosmic yet hypnotic 🌀 auditory experience whose studio version can be found on their 2021 violet/yellow LP, 🛸 which shares its name with this ethereal instrumental. ♾️ It's a harmonious blend of spacey vibes and cosmic energy that resonates with those who dare to dream beyond the stars. 🌠💫 🌟 So, let the echoes of distant galaxies 🔭
guide you as you immerse yourself in the otherworldly sounds crafted by
The Spacelords! 🌌👽 |

Bands in my collection that PA classifies as space rock:

Although they have some spacey moments, I don't really consider Gong to be space rock, and Hawkwind is more psychedelic than space. I'm somewhat perturbed that PA puts space rock and psychedelic together in the same genre, as they are very different in my mind. |

William Shatner released a cover of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds os a single. It's unlistenable, but it's quite a coincidence with this meme

I love this live footage of Hawkwind from 1990, "The Golden Void," just like on (their best, imo) album "Warrior on the Edge of Time." 🌀 This is an excellent version of one of Hawkwind's best songs and without a doubt the stellar point of this performance. 🌟 🌌✨ This can be found on the "Classic Rock Legends" DVD. Believe me, you don't want to miss this magnificent footage featuring a yearning violin solo 🎻 and has its superb section where the music settles slowly back down to a mellow conclusion. 🌠💫 An ultimative space-rock fantasy! 🚀👽🌌 |

Hi, I think your idea is not right ... take away Michael Moorcock, and we likely would not give a damn about the whole thing, and consider it stupid. And Hawkwind, did try to get rid of Michael Moorcock, and finally was able to do so (got him back with Warrior ... ), but the idea, and thought of it not associated with "space" seems to be something that most fans do not appreciate much. All it takes is "Hall of the Mountain Grill" and then "Astounding Sounds/Amazing Music" to realize that there was a lot more to Hawkwind than "space" that we refuse to let go. Both the long cuts in AS/AM are not about "space" at all ... and this might be one of the reasons why some folks kinda quit Hawkwind by that time, as Reefer Madness is seriously anti-dope, and Steppenwolf is also very serious about our doped up ideas about mind and body! Just like the book! The "magic theater" is the idea, not the reality! And we think that the "space" illusion of it all is better and more important ... please stop being a stoned kid showing your youth.  . Hawkwind, by 1976 and such had grown tired of the space idea. Nik Turner, kinda took it with him some and created some nice stuff until he passed away, but ... but ... but ... it also means that anything stated and said was not important, because the idea of "space" (influenced by the moon events at Nasa and 2001, the film) was more important. Maybe if you had seen 2001 at the Cinerama Dome and the large stoned crowd, you would have gotten a better idea of it all, and I think that Hawkwind had grown up some ... beyond just being a stony farm band!

Hi, This, if anything, shows how much Simon House was valuable to Hawkwind, and helped make the music flow a lot more than we give it credit for. Simon House first appeared in "Hall of the Mountain Grill" and specially in the first side of the LP, made that album special in just a few tracks. If you check the lyrics, in many ways this is about how they see a lot of folks thinking about Hawkwind ... and their desire to let go of that illusion ... ... So you think the time is past, The life you lead will always last Chaotic fusion's of your soul, Down below that rocky knoll Through the clouds an open sky, The wind flows through your watering eyes The sounds are pitched to draw you On your never ending journey On The edge of time, The edge of time, The edge of time (... and I probably would add a monkey saying ... you are stoned ... you are stoned ... a la 2001!!!)

Hi, I run a radio program in Belgium (progscopie) and our last show was about cosmic sixties: so space rock but made in the sixties. I'll make another one next thursday as we still have plenty to present. Any suggestion of titles that are space rock AND from the sixties (like Interstellar Overdrive and 3rd Stone from the sun which are for me good examples). Thanks Romain

@Progscopie Oh, and I almost forgot "Father Cannot Yell," which certainly influenced Hawkwind in the 1970s. |

Mort Garson may have been the first composer to create occult albums using the Moog Synthesizer...but with a distinctive style regarding mechanical rhythms, poly chords, and oddball signature lines that revolved around a theme and subject matter of the occult. This was pursued in 1969 by Beaver And Krause, but only in a few pieces featured on the album Ragnarok. "CIRCLE X" being the closest with similarities to Mort Garson. The idea was to create a entire album on the occult using the Moog Synthesizer and Mort Garson was the most accomplished at that. There were others such as Ruth White and her 7 Trumps Of The Tarot and Pinions...which is very dark but somewhat differs from Black Mass and The Unexplained. Keith Emerson in the early 70s was writing dark pieces in ELP such as The Barbarian but his usage of the Moog Synthesizer to create dark music was quite different from Garson. On a personal level I observed keyboardists in the early 70s who were Electronic or had played in Progressive Rock bands reproducing some of the sound and style heard on Black Mass and Perhaps it's just Garson's essence and his overall influence. Cds I have: The Wozard Of Is Black Mass The Unexplained Plantasia Sacred Bones ( compilation of unreleased material) Journey To The Moon And Beyond. . |
