Brilliant. Pity Brock and Turner fell out as Hawkwind need some creativity. I think the strength of early Hawkwind was the presence of numerous creative people, with Brock providing a solid foundation. For too long Hawkwind has been Brock dominated, and bland. Space Ritual have the collective mentality.
i quite identify with nik.....he's a talented musician and isn't afraid to 'project', which must've intimidated brock so brock fired him twice -- musicians get egos when someone overshadows them or acts too 'strange'......can't recall seeing videos of hawks with nik where nik seemed inappropriate at all.....they should all be playing and growing together......couldv'e also been a stylistic switch, brock not wanting sax -- who knows.....they shoul've made it work anyway......sad.
The Space Ritual... how the songs and monologues flowed into one another, like events in a dream or the experiences in a psychedelic trip... or like rituals in a ceremony... This was all Calvert's idea. I love Nik, but I ain't getting into the Nik vs Dave thing... Calvert was my fave.
Yep = Calvert was the captain. That's why I made the videos on my page: to spread the word about Robert Calvert. Why don't more people know about Robert's work?
I love this. I saw them on Sturday in Exeter - what a great show! Enthusiastic audience too. Nik and Space Ritual are the real thing. They genuinely do it for the love of the music. I know that for a fact. I would encourage anyone to go to one of their gigs. Next up - Northampton!
Space Ritual are living in the past, were as Dave Brock and the real Hawkwind are always trying to move Forward, Though i did see Space Ritual a few years ago in the Assembly Romms in Glastonbury and they putt on a really good show
I hope they're back in action soon. I never thought much of Nik in Hawkwind but I have much more respect for him now and for what he's doing. Less so for Dave Brock.
This is fantastic :)
