If Dave Brock’s “Brockworld” that was released a few months ago didn’t get enough attention, his mothership’s forthcoming album seems to be gaining momentum way before its April 15th release. “The Machine Stops” is HAWKWIND‘s return to the world of solid science fiction, as it’s a concept work based on E.M. Forster’s short story, first published in 1909, a retrofuturistic classic by now whose dystopian outlook the Brit proggers embraced furiously, with a stage show complimenting the record. The band’s tour commences in March, but the CD and LP’s content have been announced now.
