I've just re-purchased HOTMG on CD after owning it on tape many years ago. I'd forgotten how good it is! It is the Wind's attempt to exploit the commercial opportunity that oopened up after the surprise success of Silver Machine, but let's face it, it was never really going to work at a commercial level. What we have though, is a mixture of raw original Hawkwind, some cultured space rock, and some great songs, all put together by the classic line-up (including brock and Lemmy, with Simon King's hypnotic drumming) with a few additions (Simon House's classically trained fiddling being one of them). Hardly a bad song on the album. If you want to hum to Hawkwind try this.
Went to see them in Sheffield in 2008 - only the ageless Brock remains from the original line-up, but they can still churn it out as well as ever.
I believe the Mountain Grill was a cafe in Ladbroke Grove (just in case you were wondering).

Released in 1974, i bought this as soon as it came out, having owned and played their "space ritual" album to death for some time. From the superb
front cover depicting a crashed hawklords spaceship to the awesome alien landscape painting on the rear cover the stage the stage is set for hawkwind`s most atmospheric album. Kicking off with "psychedelic warlords","Wind of change" and nik turner`s "d-rider" we have some of the finest music hawkwind ever made, the presence of simon house with his armoury of keyboards and violins is felt everywhere, especially his superb use of the mellotron and drives the music into psychedelic filmic soundscapes that enhance your very being. Interestingly,the two live tracks,"you better believe it" and the majestic "paradox",blend seamlessly with the feel of the album. A further live track, "it`s so easy" recorded at the same edmonton sundown gig is included as a bonus track on the cd as are single versions of other tracks on the album.I`ts difficult to get across how the passage of time (34 years) has enhanced this album with each listen,for me, it is timeless music by the most original (and underrated!) band in britain over the last 50 years.buy it, play it,enjoy it and it will become one of your favourite albums too.

At three quid there's no excuses anymore!
So, here we are in May 2012 and the UK weather is rubbish, but Amazon currently are knocking "Mountain Grill" out for three quid. So life's not all bad, then. Read more

Space or progressive, whatever - it is good
And at times it does remind you of early Motörhead. Good rock, even for those not very big funs of progressive and all (like me).
