May 1984
Dave Brock
Earthed to the Ground
2 out of 5
Highlights:
Sprits
I’ve never really thought much of Hawkwind. There’s an audience out there for them, I guess, cuz they made a ton of music over the years. This is a founding member’s demos, apparently, released as a full album cuz the world didn’t have enough music cluttering the record bins in 84.
It sounds like what it is. Someone bored with access to recording equipment having listened to a lot of Jean Michel Jarre (and, since Hawkwind are already bargain basement Floyd, kudos for branching out? “Spirits” is a very acceptable facsimile of Jarre) and deciding that he has something to contribute to a political-social conversation. Maybe he does. This is one of those things for fans of Hawkwind. Which, as I indicated, I am not.
