Customer Reviews:

Hawkwind - 'Live Chronicles' (Griffin) 2-CD.......2005-02-09

I was so delighted when I first discovered this title was reissued,and expanded onto a 2-CD release box set,mind you.I originally had a copy of this title on an aging cassette that might still exist in one piece.Most of the 29 tracks here are from the band's 1981-86 era.Several of their '70's gems show up here,like "Master Of The Universe","Magnu","Assault And Battery","Quark,Strangeness And Charm" and the recital-turned-song "Spirit Of The Age".Occasional poet/recitalist Michael Moorcock shows up on three cuts,"Chronicle Of The Black Sword","Dead Homecoming" and "The Final Flight".Wanted to mention the incredible instrumental "Shade Gate".Most,if not all of the vocals through out the show look to be done by guitarist Dave Brock and synth/keyboardist Harvey Bainbridge.They show off some great harmonies on "Lords Of Chaos" and "Horn Of Fate".Also,Bainbridge supplies some nice keys on tunes "Sleep Of A Thousand Years","Choose Your Masques","Zarozina" and "Dragon Years".I know that 'Live Chronicles' was previously put out on Castle Import as a single CD pressing.This release is much better.Top notch British progressive space rock that shows NO compromise.Essential for ALL Hawkwind fans.

Hawkwind's best.......2001-10-01

Without a doubt, this is Hawkwind's best album. But it is not just for Hawkwind fans. This is one of the best hardrock albums (live or studio) that I have ever heard. Lloyd-Langton's guitar playing is awesome. The heavy riffs that dominate the best Hawkwind songs are very prevalant, mostly guitar. Worth every penny if you can find it.

the best live hawkwind!.......1998-09-17

For SF and Fantasy literature fans, this album chronicles the history of Elric of Melnibone, the protagonist of Michael Moorcock's series of the same name. Having abandoned the surreal sonic miasma which confounded the first decade of their recordings in favor of a cleaned-up guitar sound, this is possibly the best Hawkwind ever. Be sure to read the excellent books to understand the lyrics!
