Product Description

CD Description

On Hawkwind's second album, the seminal space-rockers beganto assemble the pieces that would come to be regarded as their signature sound. While some elements of leader Dave Brock's folkie past were still extant (most notably the surprisingly poignant "We Took the Wrong Step Years Ago"), the heavyguitar riffs, wooshing electronic effects, and science-fiction lyrics that typified the eventually predominant Hawkwindstyle all came into play on IN SEARCH OF SPACE. Though bassist Lemmy (who would later found Motorhead) had yet to hop aboard the spaceship, Hawkwind's proto-metal tendencies were already apparent in the downright Black Sabbath-like "Masterof the Universe". The acid-damaged "Adjust Me" and the monomaniacal, one-chord jam "You Shouldn't Do That" attest to the growing freakiness of the band, a quality that would only continue to endear them to a hardy contingent of fans as their far-out tendencies increased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Space rocks!, 10 Aug 2002
By gigidunnit (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Now this is the business. All Hawkwind novices should start here, no doubt about it, especially since those late-1970s space pop albums aren't available. Otherwise I'd say choose "Quark Strangeness And Charm" as your starting point. Without that, you just have to plunge in the deep end, and it doesn't get any deeper than space. Umm.

All the things you've been warned about are here: the bull-headed 30-minute long riffs, the sludgy wall of sound, the squarking saxophone solos, the tuneless nasal vocals, the primitive synthesizer blips. What might be more surprising is the acoustic material, with which the space-outs are punctuated. Hawkwind's roots as a busking band would never really go away. However, don't fear: even the folkiest acoustic piece is smothered in psychedelic effects so hamfisted they probably took a hammer to the mixing board to create them. And yes, it's fabulous.

There are two further considerations that aren't immediately obvious to the modern listener but which you need to be aware of:

1) In the 1970s, Hawkwind's fan base were 13-year-old schoolboys who covered their out-of-school denims with Hawkwind patches and dreamed of riding motorbikes.

2) The grungy trance music is intended for dancing. Just like those neverending Grateful Dead jams, this is dance music. Get off your head on grass and acid and dance while keeping one wary red-tinged eye on the stage in case you got too close and Stacia's ample endowments knocked you off your feet. Oh, the memories.

If the memories mean nothing to you, nor the drugs, not the denim patches, you might well wonder what all the fuss is about. But that's your problem. To appreciate Hawkwind, you either have to be a Michael Moorcock reading thirteen year old or stoned out of your mind. In these terms, Hawkwind are unbeatable. Rev up the cosmic hog and ride!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cosmic Classic From Re-mastered Hawklords Delivers The Goods, 25 Nov 2001
Last night I went and saw Hawkwind in Walthamstow, and they were incredible, but none of this album was on the playlist. I bought the original album in its ground breaking hawk sleeve plus the legendary Hawk log. The new CD gives clarity to the saxes and flutes of Nik Turner and Dave Anderson's bass lines are pure, but the drum sound is still woolly and not enough up in the mix. You get a groovy cross shaped digipak, complete with a reproduction Hawk logbook, but it is for punters who still have perfect vision as it is so small. Lemmy's shoutings about a Silver Machine are included, aswell as the 7" B side . There is another live track Born To Go. If you want the ace in the pack of Hawkwind's early stuff, this is it: turn up the volume, turn down the lights and take off into the universe of Dave Brock and his merry men...and Stacia.

4.0 out of 5 stars My first Album!, 5 Feb 2007
By A. J. Rabet "Rabs" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is the first album I bought on "Compact Cassette" as it was known in those days!

I bought it on the back of Silver Machine fully expecting that song to be included, but it was not! Luckily this re-mastered version of the album includes that song plus all the ones I used to enjoy on the ITT cassette player I shared with my younger brother.

The songs have a jazz fusion quality which I never appreciated when I was younger but I can now. All in all a very enjoyable album by one of the legendary rock groups.

Favourite tracks apart from Silver Machine are "We took the wrong steps years ago" and Children of the Sun"
