The latest Hawkestrel album from Alan Davey again includes contributions from other ex-members of Hawkwind,
including quite a few who are dead (Huw Lloyd-Langton, Robert Calvert, Ginger Baker, Nik Turner for example) while
Simon House is still with us, plus plenty of other guests such as Mick Taylor (yes, THAT Mick Taylor), Geoff Downes and
others. If my calculations are right, then based on what I can see, only three of the 11 tracks (including the three
bonus ones only available on CD) do not have dead people involved, so I do wonder how much longer this project can
proceed as surely Alan must be scraping the archives pretty clear. The album is space rock, massively influenced by
one band, and I am sure there are plenty of Hawkwind fans who will be interested in hearing this, but it is only fair
that I give you a warning. When you see that track #4 is indicated as having the guests William Shatner on vocals and
drummer Carmine Appice you need to understand it really is William Shatner and Carmine, and while the drummer is
everything you would expect, sadly so is Captain Kirk.This album is better than the least release, 'Spacexmas', but in truth that is not saying a great deal and will be just for the fans.
