The Hawkwind Trip

I haven't done this with TD since discovering they recorded something worthwhile after 1986 but it's now time to return to it. I only have 70 or so albums but they're well spread in time apart from just having a couple of tracks each from compilations for a certain run of 7 studio albums and I could add half a dozen of Edgar's solo albums under his own name . /QUOTE]  All of Edgar's, yes, including Dalinetopia (underrated), plus Peter's excellent Romance '76 and Transharmonic Nights, and as many of Johannes' as you can collect, with Wuivend Reit and Songs No Words at a minimum.  As for Chris, The London Concert and stop there.  And since the new grandiose box set In Search of Hades finally makes Michael Hoenig's brief involvement official, his solo albums Departure from the Northern Wasteland and Xcept One demand inclusion!

probably "You Shouldn't Do That"; the track is almost 16 minutes long

Re the TD discussion which my attempt to quote has messed up completely, I was thinking of Edgar’s solo albums as a number of later “Tangerine Dream” albums only had him on them. You could expand the trip a lot though with those plus Klaus Schulze, Conrad Schnitzler, Steve Joliffe, even Florian Fricke (Popol Vuh) was on “Zeit”.

Sorry Jean, I’d talk more about Hawkwind. I have loved the albums up to “Warrior On The Edge Of Time” but not so much the next ones and gave up after “Levitation”.

Two 10s and four 7s sounds pretty good, worth a bit of dizziness .

I like Lemmy era Hawkwind. Despite not knowing the correct way to play the bass sometimes he's the only one really driving the tunes forward .
