"25 Years" is definitely the definitive Calvert album - it's kind of Freq meets Captain Lockheed with a sprinkling of the inevitable quark, strangeness and charm. I'm tempted to say that it's the best Hawkwind album of the lot ...
Ha! Thanks for that. The software is just a free slideshow thing I got somewhere on the web. The bits that look animated were drawn by me in MS Paint and then stuck into the slideshow with the smallest time rate allowed (which was something like 0.2seconds if I remember correctly) it was a while ago. I don't think I'd win any prizes for film making but it gives people something to look at while they're listening to Robert's fantastic work. Cheers for your support :-)
Lineup was: Harvey Bainbridge, Alan Davey, Danny Thompson, Nik Turner, Adrian Shaw, Ron Tree, Jerry Richrds & Steve Swindells. A DVD of the event will be out soon. You can see some single-camera snippets here on YouTube - search for "Hawklords 229"
@HeidiLandRover@HeidiLandRover omfg heidi your an angel babes, i love this song, give us a kiss and where the fuck you been, not seen you for ages, anyways, loves you to bits for this one mmmmmmmmmmmmmfuckinwaaaaaaaaah babe xx joanne xx
Yep: it still sounds cool. That's down to the fact that Robert Calvert was a brilliant songwriter. Come along to the Roundhouse in June for lots of songs like this one :¬)
We tryed posting "Flying Doctor" I think it might be a Bit 2 "Druggie" 4 Youtube, somtimes I feel like they pick on Me More than Most, do you like the "Flying Doc" Hiedi ? I love it I.
Great track, got the original on vinyl, gutted the two gigs in Nottinghill are sold out. Shame there is no footage available from the Greasy Truckers Party.
Greasy Truckers footage: there is a DVD available of the ICU set. The Hawkestra set was filmed but will probably remain unreleased due to all the arguments. The Roundhouse gig is due to be filmed though, so we cal all look forward to that :¬)
This is one of my favourite Hawkwind (OK, technically Hawklords) tracks. It was the first tour I saw them (at Wolves Civic Hall) and memories of Calvert in his army fatigues under the strobe are some of the best.
Well, they MIGHT play it at the Roundhouse - you never know ;¬)
Hawklords was very much Robert's band (whereas Hawkwind was Dave's baby) and his vision really shone through on this album. It's a crime that he doesn't get more recognition, but that's why I make these videos for Youtube - spreading the word!
Thanks for the comment - see you at the Roundhouse?
i hate ,CDs, they lose the soul of the music, a few crackles and pops dont detract from the experience, but a lifeless clinical sound does,(but the powers that be??) roger waters i think?
at 56 im a bit old to be headbanging now ,lol,to much arthritis, besides i have a pair of home made transmission line speakers that can distort your vision with a 30 watt NAD amp, the wife has to bluetak all the ornaments down, lp,s played on A GARRARD,401, with an SME 3009, arm and various cartriges,
The LP had a comic style fold-out sleeve, whereas the CD just has a tiny paper insert with some printing that's too small to read. Once again proof that CDs are shyte and we only buy 'em because the record companies want to save money. Bah humbug! etc. etc.
If Hawkwind annoys the Druggies on your estate, then they are doing the wrong kind of drugs Geeza! But kudos to your re-education program. You obviously take the wellbeing of your community very seriously, but honestly Mate, crackheads don't "get" Hawkwind.
love all the bandaged bondage'not devo'pics,ive got the ones with the strings on er eyes as my descktop.were did you get the toe touching ones from?off the record i bet.cool vid!!!fffrrrreeeeeffaaaalllll.........
Yes mate: off the inner sleeve of the LP. That's something we miss with CDs: all that great cover artwork.
I couldn't decide which version of the song to use at first - there's a live Hawklords version which is similar to this, and then there's the totally bonkers Sonic Assassins version. In the end I went with this one because it's the most polished and should appeal to more YouTubers.
nice barney bubbles graphics - and Bobs concept - brilliant song and lyrics as ever

Cheers for the link to this, takes me back to my spotty-faced youth, and they still sound fabulous!
I saw Hawklords and Hawkwind many times in Kent during the 70's. best gigs were with Bob Calvert, what a performer!

Very true. My current project is Telekinesis, which is going to have more stop-motion animation in it. Should have a similar feel to It's The Same.

Well, if you can't make it there should be a DVD to follow, and lots of photos on my Facebook page too.
Your system sounds interesting: with decent equipment LPs beat CDs hands down for sound quality.
