Their talents as entertainers notwithstanding, HAWKWIND have often landed on the “more of the same” formula in the last decades, and the frequency of the veterans’ latest releases doesn’t help matters much – especially when combined with the fact of the market getting oversaturated with their reissues and fresh works. Only last year found Dave Brock-fronted ensemble put out two new albums, “Stories From Time And Space” recorded in a studio and “Live At The Royal Albert Hall” documenting a concert performance, yet that didn’t stop the Brits from pushing it all further still and laying down another batch of tracks which form “There Is No Space For Us” – a strangely titled opus scheduled to hit the shelves on April 18th.
Faithful to their space-rock principles, the collective carries on ploughing the interstellar furrow they’ve been exploiting for 55 years now – but the band’s followers are happy to have one more platter in their endless discography. On vinyl, though, it’s going to be two records, with Side Four containing “Practical Ability” and “Second Chance”: a couple of cuts from the group’s recent rehearsals. Inessential, if potentially interesting.
1. There Is Still Danger There
2. Space Continues (Lifeform)
3. The Co-Pilot
4. Changes (Burning Suns And Frozen Waste)
5. There is No Space For Us
6. The Outer Region Of The Universe
