Indeed they do! Always like the "Space Ritual" version....

This is my first post and I know that I should have introduced myself first, but it was googling for Hawkwind which brought me here to this forum, so I couldn't really resist posting in this thread first.

So, 'Hi' to all. I'll next appear in the Introduction forum.

And hello, anyway... good to see another Hawkwind fan on here. Until I brought this thread up, I was beginning to think I was the only person around here who'd ever listened to them....!

Hello there! I know how you feel, 'cause I always felt the same. I'm 47 and
have been a big Prog fan since I was 15 years old. In terms of space music,
Hawkwind rules, hands down. That's my 2 cents on the matter. I'm trying to
get them some air play on the world's biggest syndicated radio show, called
Coast to Coast AM, but so far nothing yet. The Program deals with all kinds
of paranormal subjects, including every shade of theory regarding ET's and
their business here on Earth.

I'm not, in any way, shape, or form, either related to, or associated with the
Hawkwind enterprize. Please be assured of that, as I put out a call (or plea)
to any and all Hawkwind fans at this forum, who might be a Coast to Coast
stream-link member as well, to e-mail requests to the producers of that show
for them to include Hawkwind's music in their regular bumper selections.

Incidentally, if you have'nt yet heard of a band named Ayreon, check them
out. Some aspects of their music bears a distinct Hawkwind influence. It is
not your typical Prog band, as they describe their art as a kind of theatrical
or "opera" rock. However, when you have given a fair hearing to them, you
will recognize Hawkwind's space/prog influence, I feel.

Peace to the Hawks at this forum, and all the space men and women here in
general, from ...

Happy daze!

according to the documentary, that would have been around the time they were experimenting with low frequency sounds that would either cause the "target" to fall over or soil themselves

maybe you were a victim of one of those darstadly deeds but, looking at the alternative result, if you were indeed a victim, you got off lightly LOL

I've got most of Ayreon's stuff, Into The Electric Castle gets most outings. Lucassen always gets great performances out of his guests. Getting into Ayreon has led me to a lot of other groups, e.g. Within Temptation, The Gathering. Ayreon have got a new one out next month.

I like Hawkwind too of course

Hmmm, Hawkwind were experimenting with "Brown noise" were they? Which album was that on so i can avoid it, although they broacast a "Brown noise" on radio2 a few months ago and it really didnt live up to expectations.....maybe it was the ear protectors and nappy I was wearing......

I don't think they put any brown noise on their albums. from the way they talked about it in the documentary, it seemed as if it was something they did during live shows as they liked to watch the results. it also seemed as if they could target individuals in the audience
