08:04.92dr hasbeen

Dr. Hasbeen - Final Flight. Dr H is the birthright of Martyn Needham. This lifelong Hawkwind fan and member of numerous other past bands including Spacehead inaugurated the development and design of his own space rock band to produce some fine music. Although crew have come and gone, they are left immortal in the footprints of Dr Hasbeen, throughout the galaxy and beyond. The ever changing faces of the ship have cast nothing but iridescent spectra that radiate through time and infinity. Their reflections shall always be present in the music that they created, they have shared their soul in the perpetual motion that is Dr Hasbeen. This track from the live CD, "Powered By Beer".

Mother Of All Bands - Wake Up Yer Man (Me)

From Aural Innovations #30
 

The Mother Of All Bands features Ron Tree (ex Hawkwind 1995-2002) and Judge Trev Thoms (Inner City Unit), and their musical pasts are in the melting pot of this band's style, but with a lot of fresh new ingredients thrown in too! This album is brilliant and I was lucky enough to receive a copy from the band to keep to myself. The band are looking for a deal and I honestly think fans of Ron and Trev will simply love this and so too will anyone else looking for something fresh, edgy and wild. If we all make enough noise to the companies who knows?

Litmus - The Temple (live). Litmus are a collection of throbbing bass, pounding drums, searing guitar, swirling keyboards and screeching electronics.  Litmus have supported Hawkwind, Space Ritual, the Ozric Tentacles and Arthur Brown.

35:00:00acousticat

 

Acousticat - Come On In

Acousticat are an antidote to loud musical stylings. An acoustic trio, just Kev, Chris and Amy. An acoustic guitar, a fiddle and some harmonicas. Gigs are very relaxed affairs, with the band sat down, swapping anecdotes and blues riffs. For larger festival appearances the band expands to acousticatz, encompassing a myriad of talented musical friends. This song recorded live at Earthwise festival, 2006. It includes guests Nik Turner, Chris Cambridge, Mikky Cosmic, Andy Radburn and Chris Purdon.

40:27.30andy shades

Andy Shades (Outram) - Making Way For China

Andyshades began live music as a songwriting busker in the mid 1980's and fronted the bands Backchoi, Drug Squad, Mutant Squid, Rainbow Bridge and Tranceform. Giving up bands in the late 1990's for travelling musical adventures in the great beyond he played venues in Thailand, Laos, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Germany and the beaches of Gomera. From then on gigs and recordings have been a collaboration of musicians from every continent in a truly spontaneous form with no strict line up and totally free expression. So the concept of 'Us' was born. This track from the CD "Shades Of Us".

51:10.00huw lloyd langton

Huw Lloyd Langton - Alien Jiggers (live)

FEW bands can boast the far-reaching appeal and influence of Hawkwind, uniting the support of the leather-clad rock fraternity with the crusty travelling hordes of Hippydom (and all those who stand some-where in between). Huw's repertoire covers a variety of styles, ranging from the harder side of rock to the kind of spaced-out psychedelic guitar work he is probably best remembered for from his Hawkwind days. His association with other well-known musicians reads more like a Who's Who Guide of popular music. This track is from the DVD "Live in Walthamstow, 2002".

THE SCENE......
Sometime in the near future.
 
Unbeknown to man, the whales are communicating with alien life forces. It has been decided, to save the Earth from complete devastation, Man must be eradicated. Signals have been placed within popular music to send Man insane. As the Venusians say, a good dose of Girls Aloud or Britney can cause more damage than 100 Mega ton device. Only one band of warriors stand alone, producing good vibrations within their music. It is known as Space Rock..... The whales

3. Mr John Toon reads extracts from "Sci-Fi" Steven Palmer's book, "Hallucinating". Part 1.(4.09). 

Steven Palmer Hallucinating

Stephen Palmer's novel, Hallucinating, was originally intended to be an exclusively online publication, targeted at the festival music crowd, until Sean Wallace of Cosmos Books had the vision to publish. It is a story with all the characteristic Palmer themes of not so distant future devastation, but with plenty to satisfy festie psych music fans.

The story takes place in Britain in the year 2049, after a not so typical alien invasion leaves the urban landscape near lifeless, and the countryside struggling to survive and rebuild. The main character is Nulight, an acid casualty and pagan, famed as the head of the Voiceoftibet record label. We learn that Nulight was born in Tibet, his mother a Welsh hippie who went there and married a native. Apparently the aliens had been plotting for years because Nulight had a close encounter in his youth. Or did he? His mother tells him the aliens are probably a hallucination and Nulight wonders if that's true. It was easy to accidentally pick up acid or mushrooms in our house. So I kind of grew up wondering if they were real or a hallucination. The book is available to buy from HERE

.

4. Bare Bones Corporation - Every Robot (05:08) Bare bone Corporation is the latest musical outpouring of Niall Hone, probably best known for his Bass playing on the early Mandragora Lp's.

12. Mooch - Flight Of The Dub Voyager (edit) (38:25))

Mooch Dub Voyager

Another facet to author Steven Palmer. ‘Flight Of The Dub Voyager’ is something from the Mooch archives, namely this full-length album recorded in 1996. It comprises of a single fifty-seven minute track split into 12 sub-sections. It was recorded over two sessions, with five musicians, and it’s described by the band as “a psychedelic patchwork of ambient rock that would transport the listener to the fantasyland of the good ship ‘Dub Voyager’ – the band’s favorite album of the period

13. Psydub Experiment - A Sea Of Broken Glass

Psy Dub Experiment

From Sweden.

Psydub Experiment - A one man band.

6. Nukli - Sulpher (14:10:72)

Nukli

The UK Festival scene has yet more secrets to reveal, and one of the best kept secrets has to be Nukli, a band who have circulated many tapes on the underground circuit, featuring key Ozric Tentacles' members amongst their ranks. They eventually  released an album  (The Time Factory) when the Delerium team sniffed them out of their secret bunker on Salisbury plain. Iimagine a cross between Steve Hillage, Camel and Spirit's "Future Games" then you're halfway there. This track from the CD "Side Effects", available to buy from http://www.unconventional-events.tk/

 

7. Intro 3 (00:06:30)

This track from Grooveweird's very wonderful CD, DELIRIUM EFFECTUS FANTASTICUS, available to buy from the Grooveweird website.

11. Intro 4 (00:13:67)

12. The Hashtronaut - The Lambda Variation (edit) (12:13:01)

The Hashtronaut

The HASHTRONAUT's  first ever public appearance was at THE MUSH ROOM in Liverpool in July 2005 - an appearance that came about purely by chance, as HASHTRONAUT was appearing as the guitarist with another band at the venue that night, but an act fell through leaving a space on the line-up... . If your a fan of Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream or Tim Blake, this should appeal to you. ' HASHTRONAUT is currently planning a short series of live shows to promote the launch of the new disc,." The Lambda Variant", from which this edit comes. HASHTRONAUT is also preparing the final touches to the main website www.hashtronaut.com that will carry all updated news and happenings, along with free music downloads. The website will go live, on NOVEMBER 1st 2005.

Harmonic frequencies, soundwave resonations and rhythms are in us all and, at all times, surround us completely. Being able to to control this phenomena to some extent is a beautiful gift. Our mission on this planet is to utilize this gift to the best of our abilities to bring pleasure to our fellow Earthlings and hopefully enhance their existence as much as it does ours...

8. 24.03 Xoo - Brain Tattoo

The full-on 1970's Hawkwind experience - light show, smoke, dancers, hypnotic rhythms and soaring leads - The Assassins of Silence deliver like no one else. With a set list ranging from 1969 to 1993 and a visual presentation situated firmly in the Space Ritual era they provide a space rock experience to ensnare the senses and transport the mind to the furthest reaches of the Andromeda galaxy. Xoo is the (currently) solo project of Assassins guitarist Kevin Perry. One day, he  might actually be able to find a band willing to play it and inflict the music on people in a live environment...

9. 27.27 Underground Zero -Seven Years

The nucleus of UZŲ was started in 1979 by Andrew Rix (bass/vocals), Adrian Rix (keyboards) and Judi Griggs (vocals). Probably best known for the classic Never Reach The Stars LP on Flicknife Records in 1984 and their inclusion in the Hawkwind Friends And Relations LP's. Well after a break of 11 years, the classic 1985 line up is back! They've reprocessed ten of their most popular tracks (including this one) - to make them sound more '21st century' - and produced a new compilation CD, Powerplay The CD is available from the bands website or Aural Innovations.

10. 33.06 Intro 3

11. 33.34 Nigel Potter - Nocturn

Sensory overload....
Inner space - outer space.
To try to capture something, beyond the words.
I guess this would be, part 2 of the second incarnation (LOL)...
Nothing special ,just music.
Mary Poppins was once asked how long she intended to stay, she replied: "Till the wind changes direction"
Nigel Also I has a collab page with his wife Susan, called SIRENS:
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/5/sirens.htm. This track dhows Nigel's continued attempts at ambience. The world of NIGHT... Hearing becomes heightened,the pupils dilate... the brain craves more information than it's sight reliant senses can give. Suddenly 3 million years of evolution vanish... the fight/flight response, from the primitive sections of our brain kick in. Where is the greater dark?... Without, or within?

12. 41.24 Litmus - I Cant be Sane

Litmus were formed in 1999 by Martin (bass, vocals) and Simon (guitar, vocals). . Andy (keyboards, synth) joined to add keyboards at gigs, but it was a lot of work for one man. So Matt (audio generator) joined (Andy's brother). And then Anton (synth, audio generator) in 2002  Marek (drums, vocals) completed this line up in 2003.
 This track is from "You Are Here",  the band's debut CD. They have also featured on a few compilations, including Daze of the Underground, the Hawkwind Tribute CD.

13.44.12 Sloterdijk - Fred Goldman's moustache

Sloterdijk pronounced slO-ter-dike, is a Dutch word, which can be translated to mean "endpoint". SLOTERDIJK is a Hawkwind inspired spacerock project led by Mike Burro. The band plays sets which employ psychedelic 'ambient trance' as well as full tilt percussive electronica and heavy metallic guitar workouts This song is a postulation about Fred Goldman's moustache and it's relevance as a media object

14.49.56 Screeper - Can Fever . The Autons are the new band of former Screeper front man, David Jones. Autons' maverick style mixes modern technology with classic songwriting. The set will include one or two Screeper songs such as this, their first single, Can Fever, which was played numerous times by John Peel on BBC Radio 1.

15. 54.24 INTRO 4

16. 54.45 Gobber And The Monsters From The Id. Gobber is probably best known for his part of Timeshard, ambient electronic pioneers. Before this he was in Festival favorites Radio Mongolia who gained some notoriety by sending their contribution to the excellent "Travelers Aid Trust" LP on cassette with a Sugarcubes LP recorded on the other side. Check out the song (that isn't) "Johnny Briggs" and hear Bjork on Backing vocal! This rather top tune is a live edit from a gig.

17. 58.40 Cybermonkey - Border Highway

Cybermonkey comprises the efforts of  Lisa Turner, Tad Winklarz and Marlon Kempmann.  Though categorization is never pretty at the best of times; Cybermonkey can be referred to as 'Progressive World Ambi-Groove'  in styling (without being overly offensive to anyone).  The music lends itself to a personal atmosphere, to the other arts, or as a soundtrack to life.   This track from their CD "Karma Wheels", details of how to purchase on their website.

5.   29:27    Dark Sun (feat Nik Turner) - Dream Circuit

The Finnish psychedelic space rock band Dark Sun was formed in 1991. In the beginning they called themselves The Echoes, then The Mythagos Wood. There were even a few other options, before the rather mysterious and polarized Dark Sun was chosen in '92.

At first they draw their influences from a whole range of different musical styles like metal, 60' and 70's rock, alternative, psychedelia, gothic, punk etc. Soon they realised that their mission was to fill Finland, Europe and the whole universe with psychedelic space rock. This track comes from their CD, "Ice Ritual", which features a guest by Space Ritual's Nik Turner.

8.   49:13    Cyber Monkey - Gdansk

Cybermonkey comprises the efforts of  Lisa Turner, Tad Winklarz and Marlon Kempmann.  Though categorization is never pretty at the best of times; Cybermonkey can be referred to as 'Progressive World Ambi-Groove'  in styling (without being overly offensive to anyone).  The music lends itself to a personal atmosphere, to the other arts, or as a soundtrack to life. This track from the Cybermonkey CD "Karma Wheels" availlable to download from thier Soundclick Site
