Quark, Strangeness And Charm

HAWKWIND: “Quark, Strangeness And Charm” (Charisma)

The band that blissed out a generation of acidheads are back, like you’ve never heard them before; their ‘Uncle Sam’s On Mars’ appears here with a ‘Red Planet Radio Mix’ and a ‘Martian Conquest Mix’ that are so incredibly fast, it’s impossible to avoid the conclusion that this recording is directed at the E-generation. Enough of the tunefulness survives to make this pleasant listening; the title track sounds spookily like Spiritualized. Pharmaceutical enhancement is recommended.
