Hawkwind - Spirit Of The Age

[TheHavalaff]

I Have been listening to Hawkwind since the mid-seventies, and this has to be one of their best tracks...................."whe­n she comes she moans another's name"........ Worth a smile everytime I hear that line!

[mrtwig80]

Imagine what you can create with two chords.. it's all about the details, and how you do it.. This is probably my favourite hawkwind song..

[haddockcheese]

love begining. don't like vocals.

[trashiscool1]

great ring tone

[oneshot1212n]

LUV the microdots and the dot-matrix....:-|

[deviantmonkey1]

This song always makes me feel like I have entered the pearly gates and know real happiness. 7 minutes of Heaven. Thank you boys

[TherMoJo]

i would like you to have been deep frozen too....

only hawkwind could get away with lyrics like this and still sound good

that was the spirit of the age

[fishhead06]

Haunting.

[joehodeho]

Capt. Brock over and out.Landing soon on Jupiter. Comming out of deep freeze.Heading down damn nation ally,test tube brothers voice, 20 telepathic men.... spirit of the age ! Spirit of the age ! I am a clone, not alone !

[electronfun]

Oh, hell yes. And played at the level just slightly below where the speakers start to distort. The ONLY way to properly listen to this song.

[Boss10jqka]

I thought of Neu! music Hallogallo.

"Oh for the wings of *any* bird, other than a battery hen..." - always makes me shed a tear.

[xraycortina]

Pleeeease little laptop, go louder, go louder!

[MrCriticOfAll]

@xraycortina Nothing like a good Marantz system i reckon.

[sandgropper6]

one of my favourite ALBUMS...people thought i was mad buying there lps. when i was 15/16 but now most of them get it ...

[WineFi]

@sandgropper6 check this, I was back on Guam, hit my fav record store asked the owner dude what's good, not played on the radio, totally diff ??? He gave me this Album . Nuff said never been the same ;-)

[industrial458]

I have not heard this track for 33 years but yet it still sounds incredible. I have tried in vain to order the album since the mid '80s

[deanabraxas69]

Sounds like La Dusseldorf.. what year is this.... I like it

[plopnod]

Long live The Spirit of Bob Calvert!!

[1919philly]

I miss the old times.....my friends ( all gone). But i´m still hangin in there. Rock on Hawklovers...Peace.

[GaragePunkSkanker]

[sadie376]

...consider every weakness something special of your own...

;-)

[Featinwe]

Why there is no music about quarks, aliens and spirits anymore?... Hawkwind are great...

[wandererlain]

This looks a bit like Black Sabbath's cover of Technical Ecstasy. You know, the one with the robots "fucking" each other. Love both of these bands, anyway!

[vfrl4fma]

Captain Bob - hope you are still mixing it up wherever you are - glorious!

[WALLY1234556]

8 dislikers are obviously deaf and partially blind.!

Oh god every time i hear this song i get chills, it's just so good compared to modern music

[ZakkAtackk]

Im 15

And I love this

am i the only one thats not a justin beiber crowd folower

[brooke196]

@ZakkAtackk No you're not! I'm the same age as you, and i love all this shit! We all need to unite as one and fight against the dreaded 'belibers'... line em' up and shoot em' all... no.. well, that's a bit drastic - but you get what i mean. :)

[taecamperva]

@ZakkAtackk This is some good music but if you want to hear the best music u will ever hear just search all the (THREE 6 MAFIA) albums

[MrBobthedogg]

This is the first vinal i ever bought (its still the doggs) now

ALWAYS AND FOREVER HAWKWIND!!!!!!!!!

[thebabysitars]

[MrCriticOfAll]

@thebabysitars Go ya halves pls.

[maxwellmaxamillian]

I fist found HAWKWIND on 8 track at an old drug store, bought it for the cover art for 3 for $1 when the format died

[MrCriticOfAll]

@maxwellmaxamillian FIST FOUND? Man thats scary.

[shaunsk]

The Boom.Excellent!

[paulcampos7]

Like all men, Robert Calvert was born at the wrong time . . .

[MrsD1203]

still freaks me out after all this time...in a good way tho ")

[Bmc7231]

It's the dogs bollocks!



[SydWarden]

Found a bunch of Hawkwind on vinyl in a charity shop the other day. It was glorious. However, cursed at the last minute, I didn't have enough money; I offered to sell them my shoes in exchange for the records, but no sell. They'll have been snatched up by now.

Such is life.

[kev18ize]

@SydWarden You missed out big time..Id of still went back to see if they were there..lol..Hard luck..

[nechronomicon1]

my andriod replica is playing up again thats the spirit of the age-i need new batteries lol long may they reign on their cosmic jouney i love the hawk

[WALLY1234556]

Im just 31 years old and i love this. So do loads of my mates. Its never gona die. HAWKWINDDDDDDDD

[MrCriticOfAll]

[wandererlain]

@WALLY1234556 Good on you! I'm 32 and have loved this since my 20s. Farout beautiful music. Much better than all the shit they make nowadays.

[Fasnfip]

@WALLY1234556 That's nice. i've loved hawkwind since I was 8 and i'm 16 now.

[MrCriticOfAll]

@WALLY1234556 I'm 7 and my dad taught me to play silver machine on my hair strings.HaHa NOT!!!!!!!! Merry Xmas to the world and you.Love it.Get drunk and live..78 Captain Lockheed best album.miss ya Bob.

[kevin31157]

Oh god, this so takes me back. What and awesome song and album . I`d forgotten all about these such excellent tracks.

[quarkwrok]

Immense song from a fantastic album and the first Hawkwind I got turned onto. All music must be judged against this standard. ...---...---...---...---...++.­.++__++ +_+

[MrChrispeee]

have just gone back so many years

[liquidshamanix]

when i first time saw this band live, it blowed me out! awesome clearness!

[m4xpl4nck]

From the best Hawkwind album of all time, thanks for the upload, danke!

[vanopelli1]

Timothy Leary called Hawkwind the most psychedelic band in the world, who should know better than him, but hey, "Timothy Leary's Dead" according the the Moody Blues and the obits!

[macsnafu]

Is this album available on cd yet? My 8-track tape is worn out!!

[jimbomak]

@macsnafu

The cd is now available as a double cd on Amazon for £12.93

[jimbomak]

@macsnafu The cd is now available as a double cd on Amazon for £12.93

[WALLY1234556]

@macsnafu you can get all Hawkwind on CD now. Or download from torrent sites free! (and they would be happy)!!!

[stevobath]

@WALLY1234556 Dave Brock wouldnt! Bloody expensive some of their CD releases!

[OrpheusIsThe1]

@stevobath Yea and look at the prices for their gigs these days I can't afford to go any more. Could in the 70s and 80s. Even went in the 90s, but now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[stevobath]

@OrpheusIsThe1 Also you never know really who might be playing & the quality! Dave Brock seems to have forgotten the fans a bit to say the least.I think the GOLDEN AGE OF HAWKWIND has long gone.Im not saying its all Brocks fault.Just seemed to loose any coherence at some point.When that was is a personal view. Still they have left some 'stellar' music to look back too.UNDERATED springs to mind! :) Cheers!

[EMIRIANOROCHA]

UAAAUUU ... THIS GUYS ARE BETTER THAN PINK FLOYD ;)

[kemicon]

couldn't possibly be more ahead of their time.

[brightonradio]

Superb!

[TheMrLusk]

Lyrically icredible. Miss you Bob.

[projectiongibbo]

top band

[meseethat1]

A perfect song, and the best lyrics Calvert wrote

[infowazz]

OMG where have i been this is amazing!!!!!! ahead of their time.

[sexyEmma4u]

HAWKWIND and EARTH CULTURE where the best new age band of their time without a doubt.

[malyfromhell74]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[Tbird429cuin]

Does anyone know what Quark, Strangeness and Charm are? Think about the Upward. downward and the t... GOTCHA....I AM THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE,,,,

[TheRadarmen]

@Tbird429cuin there are 6 kinds of quarks, up & down (these make protons & neutrons, the atomic nucleus), top & bottom, strange & charm.

great song, thanks for posting it.

[Tbird429cuin]

Call back guy...we are few and far between

[lwri]

i had to special order there albums when i was in collage 19575 to 79 ish

[exphp]

What can I say? Unbelievable band, and one of their best tracks. Dance your tits off!

[pandrol7]

top class!! love the bass

[steelwizard]

Haha those lyrics are amzing.

[paulpwr76]

sheer quality

[DJK20]

awesome sf song from the day

[rf5431]

Probably one of the most under rated bands Britain has ever produced who have made to quote the title of one of their albums, have made some ' Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music'

[meerforelle61]

@rf5431 Astounding sounds amazing musik ...Brilliant LP!

[TheGraydog2000]

I love U!

[rozkendal]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzz brill!ooooooooooooooooh

[satellites1]

Every LP Album worked out as a piece of art , sometimes with photo negatives from live concerts and a perfect unique music....my good old times with Hawkwind music, but I sold several years ago all my Hawkwind albums ( complete collection since 1972 ), what a shame

[truckngirl]

This song means something to me....

[rozkendal]

timeless, love it now like i did when quark was released, "your android replica is playing up again, ah its no joke, when she comes she moans anothers name", has echo'd in my mind since iwas 15!

[Cooper59966]

awesome dude



[purplefurball]

the old faithful Hawkwind fans are still out there.........

[easyjoseph]

God I played this album to death when I was in high school. I loved this track so much and damnation alley brings back so many memories. Just one of the bands i got turned on by going wow what a great album cover and bought it.

[TheGraydog2000]

Cant knock this, even Walt Disney loves it!

[rico46davis]

in good old time Hawkwind will find there place in the minds of future generations of people looking for the direction they should be moving in to. until then let the marvel do its thing to you when ever you like.

[harty2912]

Brilliant always top; last time I saw them was 1981 at Stonehenge.

[asthepalacesburn2]

i was there too, strapped tent,fags,booze to my motorbike my first festival, got some dodgy scrumpy off a bloke to stoned to speak, i was shittin like a new born baby for a week,superb!

[BetterTasteThanU]

[myownservant]

[Hachiroku96]

geat great band..

[jonjuliecat]

robert calvert was a genius

[HeadlandRoad]

I'd quite forgotten how brilliant this is.

[Black4Skull]

This song kicks ass, they should have more music like this on the radio. Too bad I wasn't born when they came out XD

[sebsdadez]

i love how this song is so bleak and dark on the one hand but on the other: "if you'd ever seen us, you'd rejoice in your uniqueness, and consider every weakness, something special of your own" for me a blatant message of hope and positivity, those contrary old hippies....

[BetterTasteThanU]

Passwind is my favorite band

[Attentionseekingnoob]

*Throws a Troll Biscuit in the direction of Very Far Away and watches BetterTasteThanU recede into the distance* Bye bye troll *waves*

[kungfunigel]

@Attentionseekingnoob  good boy

[Attentionseekingnoob]

This is so good it melted my face

[BetterTasteThanU]

the only wind here is the wind of a flatus

[andymouse123]

@BetterTasteThanU close your mouth then

[TheTitanic56]

This is rock right here, I love HAWKWIND!

[goldentwit]

The classic version of a classic song - boundary busting stuff.

[lmlOoOlml]

oh so fukin sweet...this is how it was ima gonna whitey now

[phuquetoo]

hawkwind are/were one the best bands ever, the fact that a lot of people have never heard of them is lamentable.

[BetterTasteThanU]

@phuquetoo @phuquetoo nice nick, did your mama name you that at birth?

[FudoMyooTattoo]

Listening to this again takes me back to the opium fuelled days and nights of wonder and awe from when I first found Hawkwind.

[kungfunigel]

@FudoMyooTattoo good boy

[stilln68la]

definitely in my top ten,goose pimple factor of 8.intro is second to none,

[computerhog1]

roadhawks ...my fav Hawkwind album

[GiLLsY151]

my favourite Hawkwind song. brilliant lead in. just takes you away to another time/place.

[stonersid]

not under rated but inder exposed, once you hear them its impossible to under rate

[dmvshorebird]

First time I've ever heard the original. Great recording.The first time I heard this song was on a live recording (vinyl) with Tim Blake on keys.

[gsw999]

goosebumps de la massive !!

[bikerfink]

cracking song!

[Psikonort]

Have no fear the Psychedelic warlords are very near

[gsconcussed]

I would have liked you to have been deep frozen too, and waiting still as fresh in your flesh for my return to Earth. But your father refused to sign the forms to freeze you, let's see you'd be about sixty now and long dead by the time I return to Earth, all my time held dreams are full of you as you were when I left , still under age, your android replica is playing up again, ah! it's no joke, when she comes she moans another's name, that's the spirit of the age, that's the spirit of the age,

[hearNyou]

@gsconcussed were only making plans for Nigella...

[askbaby]

Hairs on the back of my neck are standing on end. How is it that i remember the lyrics, the morse code... All these years later... Android Replica... OMFG.

[jimbojones383]

Great song to listen to along with Heads whilst tripping your box off.

[ida1yomomywarnyabout]

my favorite Hawkwind Album. Are they still together, I'm in my 50's and have not been to a Hawkwind Concert here in the USA since the early 1980's? Best stoner music ever!!! fact is I'm 420 a fatty KGB right now, Yum!!

[TheMrLusk]

HAWKWIND ARE THE PSYCHEDELIC WARLORDS

[wandererlain]

God, people were really in touch in those days, and I never even grew up in this era. Discovering them has been a joy.

"I would have like you to have been deep-frozen, too"

I mean, fantastic lyrics!!!

[purplefurball]

how sad am I..even now I remember every word of this work of genius......

[kev18ize]

@purplefurball Nothing wrong with that mate...

[wandererlain]

@purplefurball

Then you're as sad as me (sadasm is almost an Arabic word), join the club, brother! This is fantastic!

[pyramidiot1]

antidote to 21st century music

[Toybotaboy1]

I still have every album of theirs on vinyl, God i'm old, but don't feel it :-)

[tonytull]

You might have bands that sound like or rip off HW,but none can touch the authenticity and originality of this fantastic group with an everchanging line up spearheaded by Dave Brock

[unkleskratch]

Only recently discovered these guys, thanks to WRIR's Sunrise Ocean Bender- if you like this kinda stuff (and I do) check out the show, online at the A-Infos Radio Project.. truth is, with a name like Hawkwind, i just kind of overlooked them for years, assuming they were just some metal band. Live and learn.

[andymouse123]

@unkleskratch OH!...thank somone you found them you have a great time ahead of you...enjoy

[MsToniF]

OMG Stonehenge is all I will say hehe

[kkkaldav]

what a start to song

[nattynash62]

hawkwind are on tour soon. but wish i could turn the clock back 30 years - they were brilliant in them dayz - nik turner, lemmy, bob calvert, simon king, del dettmar, even tim blake and many more etc.... and dave brock!! Warriors on the edge of time!!

[DonFormica]

Greatest acid/space rock band of all time!!

[9hawklord]

Mirror of Illusion Seeing it as you really are and Paranoia are off the 1st album

[taariqtaariq]

stereo  panning!!

[ultimateguitar553]

Its sad that mainstream rock fans will never discover this band

they're too busy being screwed over by the major labels into buying cheap alt rock

[aironatape]

@ultimateguitar553 .......Maybe they will find out how good they were on here!!

[jimbojones383]

@ultimateguitar553 Underrated band. In some ways I am glad because if they had become mainstream they may not be as good as they are.

[gunitfor]

@ultimateguitar553 yep peaple are dumb well said

[SuperGlooBand]

@ultimateguitar553 Have always loved this album since it came out, bought it from tescos on vinyl with my tesco's saturday money, use to go to all the Hawkwind and Hawklords gigs with my afghan and white lab coat! Still one of my all time face tracks....Thanks

[simpsonest]

@ultimateguitar553 You did!

[teldrop]

@ultimateguitar553 nothing has changed... that´s the spirit of the age...

[steelwizard]

@ultimateguitar553

Just don't think about it :)

[Fhilbo]

@ultimateguitar553 ahhh, but after all, Thats the Spirit of the Age

[dannyofthededd]

@ultimateguitar553 i'm not sad..let them have their cheapo..if you really like music you hunt around and find good bands..if you just want something to go with your haircut and designer tattoos you buy into whatever is being marketed and go along with that..

[Tbird429cuin]

@dannyofthededd don't know what the thread was but dude you don't go and have a swastika tat then join the BNP.Tother way round. It upsets me to see people dissin' on these sites. Some of us like this and don't want to hear your vomit. Oh by the way, you make youself sad.....
