Hawkwind - At The BBC 1972
Review by Fatima Veras
At The BBC 1972 by Hawkwind is a live album that features recordings from the British rock band's performances at the BBC studios in 1972. The album showcases the band's raw energy and experimental sound, which was heavily influenced by science fiction and space rock.
The album starts off with "Born To Go," a classic Hawkwind track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's trademark sound is evident in the psychedelic guitar riffs, driving bass lines, and electronic effects. The vocals are often drowned out by the music, but this only adds to the otherworldly atmosphere of the album.
One of the highlights of the album is the 25-minute long "Space is Deep," which takes the listener on a journey through the cosmos with its hypnotic rhythms and trippy sound effects. The band's improvisational skills are also on display in tracks like "Orgone Accumulator" and "Master of the Universe," where they take the audience on a sonic rollercoaster ride.
