![]() ![]() Yet while the band remains a going concern, most long-term supporters would argue that their career-defining discs emerged from their fruitful tenure with their initial sponsors, Liberty/United Artists, between 1970 and ’75. To date, Hawkwind has recorded almost 30 studio LPs for both major labels (Charisma, Bronze, Active/RCA) and independent imprints (Flicknife, EBS). Later LPs, such as 1992’s Electric Teepee, even flirted with genres as disparate as ambient and techno. While guitarist/vocalist Dave Brock has remained the only constant, legendary figures such as Ginger Baker, sci-fi/fantasy writer Michael Moorcock and Motörhead founder Lemmy have all passed through its ranks.Įven now, the band’s detractors still dismiss them as merely a “hippie” aberration, but while this seemingly invincible outfit will forever be associated with the UK’s free-festival circuit, in reality their music has embraced everything from prog-rock to psychedelia and heavy metal. The pioneering London space-rockers have now endured for five decades, and have a string of classic albums under their belt, among them In Search Of Space and Warrior On The Edge Of Time. It’s hard to imagine the world of rock’n’roll without Hawkwind’s ornery presence.
