Hawkwind - 'Space Ritual' (One Way) 2-CD.......2004-08-22

It's quite simple,really.'Space Ritual' is one of the BEST live albums ever made.Although Hawkwind have come close to perhaps matching the quality and the brilliance of this 2-lp reissued,of course on 2-CD,the band really hasn't managed to release any title that surpasses 'Space Ritual'.Keep in mind,they've released PLENTY of live CD's.Their 'Yule Ritual' comes close.As everyone probably knows,this title features the historic/classic Hawkwind line-up of Brock,Turner,Dettmar,Lemmy,Calvert,King and Dik Mik.110% pure space rock,1972 style.More than deserves a hallowed place in your music collection.

(Plan 9 From Outer) SPACE RITUAL!.......2004-06-05

Okay, let's try this....these guys were aiming for a technically oriented Floydian freakout, and succeeded; but while reaching for that lofty top shelf, seemed to bounce off of a box of Deep Purple which rubbed off some glitz, careened into some Kraftwerk instrumentation and somehow managed to come out of the pantry married to Spinal Tap! The result is PURE 60's LSD psycho cheese of the highest order. In this case, ya won't need the acid to get the laughs as the delivery here is enough to draw happy tears from frickin' Janet Reno! THIS stuff would be right at home as a soundtrack for Plan 9 From Outer Space or maybe The WORST Of Dr. Who.....
I'm gonna assume that this is intentionally funny cuz NO ONE can do pure schlock of this order with a straight face. I'm no less than passionate about psych music and have tripped well over 150 times over the last thirty years with lots and lots of exposure to the heavy musical she-it and found this here as a reference from another reviewer as I searched for Jefferson Airplane's "Bathing At Baxter's". I'm happy with Space Ritual and recommend this for any fans of heavy psych looking for something new and something old at the same time. They don't make them like this any more!
Once I find some goodies and listen to this again, I'll most likely change this to five stars. Burning Man here I come!
Other recommendations: Captain Beyond: Sufficiently Breathless / Rick Wakeman: White Rock / J. Beck W/Jan Hammer: Live / Kraftwerk: Autobhan / Frank Zappa: We're Only In It For The Money / Yes: Relayer and of course ALL the pre 1975 Pink Floyd.
Have fun!Peace!Out

A timeless Hawkwind classic.......2001-11-05

I originally purchased this as a vinyl album in 1973, when I was a student at Sheffield Polytechnic. Although I have lots of other Hawkwind albums from the 70's and 80's (which I still listen to and enjoy)I never tire of Space Ritual. Hawkwind's sound, thanks to Dave Brock, is so unique that no other band comes close when it comes to space/fantasy rock.

definitive live hawkwind.......1999-07-25

...just make sure you get the straight original transcription from vinyl, not the slightly 're-touched for the nineties' re-release.

Quintessential space rock from the band that invented it........1998-12-31

Hawkwind at its best. Live, raw and jamming. This was album recorded before the accountants and investors took over the music business and bands were allowed to follow their muse where ever it took them. Great stuff!
