THE FUTURE NEVER WAITS

Product Information

It's a bit of a liquorice allsorts as far as Hawkwind albums go. The ambience, the samples, the electronica, the 70s fuzz, the driving bass and the poetry readings, everything you would expect, and maybe a little bit more but never staying in one place too long. Maybe not quite placed beside their classics but definitely worth a spin and of course these songs are going to sound amazing live.

If you’ve not twigged yet, The Future Never Waits follows the concept of life cycles. One that began with The End, is brought to a conclusion with The Beginning – the reminder to “upload your consciousness here and leave your body at the door marked ‘incinerator‘” – and to step forward for the ‘beginning’ of the next part of the journey. The album closes with ‘Trapped In This Modern Age’, a song that could easily be played on the radio and is a suitably harmonious closing piece. Hawkwind have released another great album here, demonstrating their willingness to continue to move forward and try new things. The songs could sit nicely within their set list alongside the classics. Maybe the Hawkwind spaceship has taken off in a new direction, to explore new territories and sounds. Long may the journey continue. Give it a listen and join them in these interesting new discoveries.This section contains Various Artists compilations that contain Hawkwind material that was unavailable elsewhere. hours ago Gig Review : SAMANTHA FISH & JESSE DAYTON “DEATH WISH BLUES” TOUR O2 INSTITUTE, BIRMINGHAM This new release is Hawkwind’s 35 th studio album .. on top of who knows how many ‘live’ albums, there’s nothing here to suggest they’re running on empty just yet. In the past six years, they’ve released 5 studio albums, 2 ‘live’ albums and celebrated their 50 th anniversary with a show at the Albert Hall, London. From 1970 through to 1975, the group were contracted to Liberty/ UA producing their most commercially successful and critically acclaimed work, five studio albums, the UK top 9 live album Space Ritual and five singles, including the UK top 3 single " Silver Machine". This catalogue is now owned by EMI and is in print. [1]

It is, amazingly, Hawkwind’s best studio album in a generation, and, arguably, their best since the mid-1970s. Kent, David (1993). Australian Chart Book 1970–1992 (illustrateded.). St Ives, N.S.W.: Australian Chart Book. p.135. ISBN 0-646-11917-6. The singles and EPs listed here, in the main, are all of those that went on general release in the UK. There are a couple of overseas releases included as they are significant in that their A-side and/or B-side were unavailable in the UK.Elsewhere on the album we have jazz fused drum and bass with saxophone and piano breaks in the song 'They Are Easy to Distract'. Trippy soundscapes with blistering guitar solos on 'USB1'. Hippie trippy goodness that drifts off into the ether by the end of the song on 'I'm Learning to Live Today'. Spoken word samples and poetry readings fresh from the alternative community and all of Dave Brook’s colourful friends on the fantastic 'Aldous Huxley'.

Urban Guerrilla" / "Brainbox Pollution" (United Artists, UP35566, 7", UK#39) Withdrawn after 3 weeks of release. The Space Lords have been around for well over 50 years now, and this is their 35th studio album, plus of course numerous live albums and compilations. You do need to be paying attention, as next up is ‘They Are So Easily Distracted’, another 10 minute opus that meanders along with piano, saxophone and synthesisers conjuring up magical sounds that are really enjoyable with a meaningful spoken finish.Hawkwind have been imaginative and brave, they should be congratulated and hopefully the fanbase will enjoy the journey of ‘The Future Never Waits’ as much as I have. Go out and listen to it and then listen to it again so you you don’t miss out. If you’d said to Hawkwind members in their Ladbroke Grove squat that fifty years later they’d be on their 35 thstudio album, they would have thought you’d gone too hard on the hallucinogens.
