Hawkwind - Sonic Attack

[lloyger]

this is sped up, the slower original is way more eerie.

[darkestdraw]

6 people never made it to the sound proof shelters. Sad.

[emilyoshiro]

as bitchen now as it wuz wen it 1st came out..inna werd, TIMELESS.

[absolutmod]

Yeah, but it WOULD actually be good to torture prisoners with. It is a fair point.

[atonsolaris]

played this shit with mates at one of my high school music festival... my favourite performance with the band!

[sirlordwhitman]

I like it when Dave Brock's short lil bald buddy rings out in the background.. '..every man for himself.' HIMMMSEELLLFFFFF!!

[SquainbowSquaising]

That album cover smokes!!!

[fastn1]

Don't panic!

[Astralentity73]

Im having a sonic attack right now , with the aid of ol' doobi :-)

[cd4439]

Hawkwind should have released this as a single.

[hymendanzig]

"Moorcock collaborated with the British rock band Hawkwind on many occasions: The Hawkwind track "The Black Corridor", for example, included verbatim quotes from Moorcock's novel of the same name, and he worked with the band on their album Warrior on the Edge of Time. Moorcock also penned the lyrics to "Sonic Attack", a Sci-Fi satire of the public information broadcast, that was part of Hawkwind's Space Ritual set."

[TheDUKEoYORK]

one thing to say..  H.A.A.R.P.

[beldapriest]

Always loves me some Hawkwind. This would be great to torture prisoners with! Go America!

[almanacofsleep]

@beldapriest You disgust me.

[beldapriest]

@almanacofsleep You flatter me.

[beldapriest]

@almanacofsleep I was probably pissed about something FIVE MONTHS AGO and being ironic. The real sad thing is it took 5 months for anyone to say what you said about what I said and that's sad. You are correct. That statement is disgusting.

[bristolflier]

saw them live in bristol..must have been early 70's...heard this when stoned wanted to run home..lol

[TheAgProv]

Is this where Douglas Adams might have got "Don't Panic!" from, as sothing reassuring words to put on the the cover of the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy?" I can see the irony a lot more clearly now...

[HawklordPXR5]

I think it's cool you avoided the "obvious" audio source and went for one taped 5 months later! Reached this recording via Icke and Hawkwind pages on the internet, so kind of a strange route!

[freddiebarry93]

i wanna show this to a friend while he is tripping

[SuperCartiel]

This isn't the older 'Sonic Attack" from 'Space Ritual'. It's way different.

Where did this version come from?

[HawklordPXR5]

@SuperCartiel -it's from "Bring me the Head of Yuri Gagarin" taped by a bootlegger on 27 May 1973 and subsequently released as a commercial album. Narratives are clear but do listen to audio samples of the instrumentation tracks on Amazon before deciding to spend out on this notorious release!

[DABEARS1088]

heard this at a freinds house in 75 while i did a hit of blotter. after that never did acid agaIN

[KarmicAnarchist]

@DABEARS1088

Haha!  Lightwieght!

[tegrimm]

THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!

[Zadokpriesthood]

I was fortunate enough to witness Hawkwind playing live at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica California in 1973. Pissed off at only about 5000 people showed, they swore they would never come back and proceeded to play their hearts out for almost 4 hours... that's right... four fucking hours. This group was and is cutting edge. They are truly "Masters of Reality".

[Tineafa]

Awesome.

[VideoPuppet]

Interesting.. Fav'd

[izit741]

In case of Sonic Attack...

[sheffbhoy]

Do not panic .....

[TheJuggalo1215]

doooooo nooooot paaaninc

[ManicMalcolm]

Thanks for posting

[suspectdevice71]

The words in this piece were taken from those written by Psychiatrist Dr. Charles Follen McKim Maloney. Maloney was commisioned by the British government to write them as a warning to the general public when scientists looking into the feasability of sonic attack became convinced that the USSR had a deployable sonic weapon and were going to use it in an attack on he UK. To date the only sonic weapon known to man was invented by Maloney, it is based on the mating call of an alpha male baboon!

[locobuick]

Dr. Charles Follen Mckim Maloney's work for the British government regarding the deployable sonic weapon have gone largely unnoticed, except for scholars such as yourself, suspectdevice71. The blueprints for the great Dr. Maloney's so-called "Sonic-Slayer" remain in a hermetically-sealed container under lock key in the archives of the Duke Street Hospital in Glasgow where he performed the secret baboon experiments.

[DukeLuciferBaphomet]

Duke Street hospital was demolished for the most part in 1995. The remaining Building was acquired by Loretto Housing Association which was looking for an appropriate building to lodge residents from the nearby Great Eastern Hotel, this being scheduled for closure in late 2000.  The hospital was converted in that year to provide the accommodation the project required.

[JephraimToe]

I found some rare documentary footage of this  and posted it as a response above ^ - ^

[Ascyltos]

What's that got to do with "metal, not organic limbs" then?

[aeixesemas]

@suspectdevice71

Charles Follen McKim was an architect who died in 1909. There are many sonic weapons.

[astralandrew]

@suspectdevice71 he didnt say 'use your wheels - its what they're for' - isnt it michael moorcock?

[SuperLittlePaws]

@suspectdevice71 that is most definatly the most random thing i have ever read in my life as is hawkwinds ''sonic attack'' lol! mind warp1

[55mandreck]

@suspectdevice71 interesting comment m8 but you are wrong about their not being sonic weapons ... google H.a.a.r.p. It was very likely that H.A.A.R.P. WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LARGE AMOUNT OF EARTHQUAKES AND TSUNAMIS ABOUT OF LATE . . . God help us all . if the New World Order continue with their insane plan for one world government and world domination , most of our freedoms will be taken away and we will lose our freedom of speech and the right to protest . peace stiff little fingers .. 4 ever!

[DementedMax]

@55mandreck Yeah man, you really got it figured out. :tinfoil:

[foxyvosje]

@suspectdevice71

Nice try, but as most Hawkwind fans will know, the lyrics were written by Michael Moorcock.

[808D3]

think only of yourself

[blackacid1980]

GReat sonic attack :)

DO not waste time blocking your ears

do not waste time seeking the soundproof shelther

to get as far away from the sonic sources as possible
