I wondered what the title of this album mean't. Then I read Easy Livin's explanation that it's the "Vocal Music Scale". You know "Do Re
Mi Fa So La Ti Do". Should have known it would be something silly. This is the first record with bassist Lemmy on board and not
coincidently this is their heaviest release as well. I have to agree with Sean Trane though, I like the previous one ("In Search Of
Space") better. The picture of the band inside the liner notes is priceless."Brainstorm" is a Nik Turner song. The beat to this of bass and drums is infectious. We also get some spacey winds sweeping across the soundscape. 5 minutes in they just jam for about 5 minutes before the vocals come back to end it. "Space Is Deep" features strummed guitar,vocals and spacey synths. It starts to build to a nice full sound 3 1/2 minutes in before calming back down with that strummed acoustic guitar returning 5 minutes in. "One Change" is a short piano led tune that echoes. "Lord Of Light" has a spacey intro before it breaks out into heavy riffs. The vocals on this one remind me of Ozzy and the bass is great ! "Down Through The Night" is another good track with strummed guitar and spacey winds. Flute before the vocals arrive 1 1/2 minutes in. "Time We Left This World" is my favourite. I really like the way they do the vocals with one person singing "Time we left" and another responding "This world today". The drumming on this song is well done too. "The Watcher" is the closing track with Lemmy singing on it. Acoustic guitar and bass help out in this laid back tune. This is a classic Psychedelic album from our friends from outer space known as HAWKWIND.
