Product Description

Uncut July 2007

If anything could ever satisfactorily record the work of a drug fuelled, commune-dwelling jam band with a large breasted dancer, then Space Ritual was the Hawkwind album that did so. Trance-inducing occasionally nightmarish, and filled with some inspirational moments, the album was a turbulent ride through psychedlic experience. Impressively it still is. Fashion has undoubtedly come and gone around this music - but like a footprint on the moon, this remains as strongly defined as it did when it was first made. ****


Record Collector July 2007

There can never be another album quite like Space Ritual. Captured live, for many, it's Hawkwind's very apex - the sound of your brain being fried. Originally edited into four glorious sides, it now spills across two extended discs with bonus tracks. From hereon in, Hawkwind were permanently cast as sonic overlords with wit and intelligence just as strong as the substances coursing through their veins. There was always something of the whiff of Campari about poet and sometime frontman Robert Calvert among the heavy sweating hairies, as if he was puffing a cigarette through a holder, observing, detailing. The doom metal of Time We Left This World Today slamming in after Calvert's Richard III-isms on Sonic Attack still thrills. Space Ritual is as central to the 70s as The Dark Side of the Moon of the three-day week. *****

3.0 out of 5 stars Live album but no concert footage, 27 Jun 2007
By P. Hiscock "phizzz" (Sheffield UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Another re-issue of Space Ritual. This time EMI have remastered the original and added a DVD for good measure.
The downside concerns the DVD. It is not, as expected, footage from the legendary shows that form the basis of the live album. Instead it is the audio of the live show with lots of patterns on the screen.
The patterns consist of the images from the original vinyl sleeve spinning and morphing into others.
Not very exciting.
If you're expecting any concert footage you'll be disappointed.
The booklet which comes with the package contains images from the original sleeve and a few extra notes about the various band members.
If you intend buying this for the music then you're better off buying the remastered double CD which is a lot cheaper.

5.0 out of 5 stars do not panic!, 17 Feb 2008
By N. Verma (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First of all, i'm not going to duplicate some of what has been already said about this issue...
1 - If your replacing a well worn vinyl copy, buy this and not the 1996 reissue
2 - you do get the album as I think the band would have intended - complete versions of Brainstorm and Time We Left...
3 - Yes, I know it would be brillant to have a dvd of the show, but since VERY LITTLE footage of the band from this period has surfaced I don't think thats going to change
4 - The best way (possibly) to listen to the album is to connect your dvd player to youre hi-fi and listen to it uninterrupted without the nausea indusing visuals on the dvd (except for the Silver Machine and Urban Guerilla promos which are fantastic)
5 - ENJOY!!!
