MINTY CLEAN 1970 superior GERMAN LIBERTY
first print with superior GATEFOLD COVER (USA issue was a single-fold cover)
The very first HAWKWIND album...the hairy freaks delivering a bluesy hallucination of delights laced in acid dripping progressions ............................................... Recommended headphones focused listening for an "experience" potentially lifting one outta their chair ............................................... Soon to be a 60-odd year history, HAWKWIND continued on as the most famous British underground rock band. The group was formed in the late '60s by guitarist/singer Dave Brock, guitarist Mick Slattery and winds/singer Nik Turner. Adding liberal does of trippy/spacey sound effects and soon a booming rhythm-thrashing bass guitarist named 'Lemmy' ~ the group lifted off into space-rock travels
The 1970 presentation of HAWKWIND album begins with the infectious bluesy "Hurry On Sundown". Reflecting Dave Brock's previous experience as a London roadside street performer. Falling into a group effort together they created an acid-rock progressive unit improvising with guitar jams and psychedelic effects.
The first Hawkwind pairs nicely with the German 'Krautrock' scene, both pioneers in adventurous experimental ventures."Hawkwind" album highs include "The Reason Is" ... a wash of sound waves, layered by light touches of guitar then ominous repetitive bass lines. On songs like this, Hawkwind's similarity to Amon Duul II is particularly pronounced.
"Be Yourself" is probably best of these lengthy pieces, with an insistent melody line that gives way to a speedy, sound-washed, electronically-charged jam (starring Nik Turner's echo sax accompanied by Lloyd-Langton's acidic guitar reels). The real blueprint for future Hawkwind festivities.
"Seeing It As You Really Are" is another lengthy hypnotic jam building up with bass and sonic sweeps, the manic solo from Turner towards the exit.
"Paranoia (Part 1)" is a brief, continual statement from a single riff building up tension, before mellow bass-led "Paranoia (Part 2)" establishes itself.
"Mirror Of Illusion" delivers an infectious hallucinogenic melody laced by trippy atmospheric generator-effects over-layering the effective track.
Altogether the album's geared in same direction as Pink Floyd's a couple or so years before, yet ran into much maligned so called music critics citing the album as 'too weird.' An early 70's snippet by failed music publication 'Creem' magazine, and their negative review of this album, was omething about "Beam me up Scotty" drivel with no content. Yeah, no James Taylor tunes here :-/
