After a series of largely mediocre albums, decades old psychedelic rock band
Hawkwind released another grand ode to space, drugs, and hard rock. The
album takes on a largely more electronic sound than the classic ‘70s
material, and through the wonders of modern production, the hard rock sound
is easily more pronounced. The album is still wholly Hawkwind however, with
distorted vocals, hazy, hard rocking riffs, and that smooth, mysterious feel
that radiates from Hawkwind’s music, that entrances the listener and creates
a strong desire to listen to the great music.

The album represents everything someone would come to expect from a classic
Hawkwind album, the heavier tracks like the opener “Seasons,” and the
excellent follower “The Hills Have Ears,” and those easily identifiable
Hawkwind segues in the vein of “The Wizard Blew His Horn.” The acoustic
“Mind Cut” at first sounds like something that could’ve been released by The
Flaming Lips, and calls to mind “Five Stop Mother Superior Rain,” both of
them being thoroughly enjoyable songs. “The Southern Cross” is easily one of
the best tracks here, with synthesizers bounding about, serene flute in the
background, and uniform entrancing drums throughout. This track and its
succeeding counterpart “The Prophecy” are two perfect examples of the
mind-attracting atmosphere that this album and Hawkwind in general are known
for, however they are not even close to the only examples. The
electronically fueled “The Drive By”, with its soaring guitar leads is yet
another piece of evidence attesting to the quality of this album. Atmosphere
is the biggest factor in this albums success, as well as the musical
competence shown by Brock and the other members, with bouncing bass lines,
great guitar solos, and mesmerizing drums, electronics, and vocals, not to
mention the hard rock riffs that are often present.

As many people are regarding albums released by bands past their prime, I
was initially skeptical coming into this album partially because it sounded
a bit cheesy at parts, but this is a '70s band and what were the '70s if not
a bit cheesy?. Late-career releases range from awful through mediocre and
sometimes manage to still impress, as this album does. At first it sounds
like a band releasing outdated music in a new period in time (an aspect of
music which yields many inconsistent results), but then immersion in the
amazing atmosphere provided by this album proves that it doesn’t matter if
this is outdated, because this is Hawkwind, and most importantly this is
Hawkwind showing the world that they still have what it takes to make great
music. (tarkus/sputnikmusic.com)
