The very first band I saw live, in '78 !! It's Hawkwind with a temporary contractual name-change.
A classy Rock album IMV. Some may be repelled by Robert Calvert's Hippie Sci-Fi lyrics, but they've always appealed to me.
With very little adjustment to their then-current sound, they manage to emulate Roxy Music on the 25 Years song - Calvert's vocal is so Bryan Ferry, it's hard to imagine it's not an impersonation - and then Punk on the very next song, Flying Doctor...
