What can we say about Hawkwind? Certinaly nothing describes their prime-era better than Julian Copes words - "They were a collection of disreputable star rats fuelled by a battery of hallucinogenic influences and united only by an incorrigible sense of psi-powered, pre-1976 cosmic punk rock attitude broken off and gobbled as though it was their sole means of sustenance while playing riffs into the grooves with an relentless head of steam. The rhythmic repetitions offset by wordless trance-chants are hypnotic to the core and the whole mess is performed at raw and rambunctious paces as it blazes with one damn racket with nowhere to go but hurtling through space at the sound of speed, anyway. Towards anything and everything. With the jaws of black oblivion not far behind nipping at their respective asses they were already in process of playing off of so furiously. For they sank a couple hundred pounds of pressure into one square foot and punched it in with a single, swift and confident stroke of a psychic ball-peen hammer at the only point on reality's windscreen overlooking the edge of oblivion where in its entirety, its safety glass pane turned into a sightless fog of equal, fracturing veins before shuddering weightlessly apart and floating gently outwards into the future".
Our cast of stellar devotees surely know all this and put it to good use in their interpretations of classic Hawktracks in the Sonic Attack triology of 7"s.
Mudhoney
Mugstar
Sonic Attack (Motorheads)
TR013
Mudhoney go for the jugular with their combustive version of Urban Guerilla. It takes the original's MC5-on-angeldust vibe and cranks the rama-lama into the red. In short Mudhoney make it their own - filthy, distorted, bluesy, hooky, droney, grungy, stumbling, ass-kicking rock and roll. Mugstar take Born to Go and lift-off into a roaring, brittle flight that threatens to never land. The instruments are wielded as weapons of psychic warfare as the Sonic Assassins tear into the track in the most reckless and stupor-fying ways.
Mudhoney - Urban Guerilla
Mugstar - Born to Go
Acid Mothers Temple & The Cosmic Inferno
White Hills
Sonic Attack (Psychedeic Warlords)
TR014
Acid Mothers Temple & The Cosmic Inferno put Brainstorm through their space metal freakout mangler. The tentative grip on the original tracks form & structure soon warps into sonic mahem and the space rock freak-out which ensues levitates, spiraling upwards and out into the beyond into a shining, transcendental pinnacle. On Be yourself White Hills put the wig out horse before the mellow cart and both trot entirely through a haze of distortion & grit. The uber-distorted drums burn unabated throughout the track's psychic rollercoastering while the lead guitar builds and builds continually as flames burst from Mothership's fuselage, pushed far beyond the limits of its already over-taxed capabilities until finally a soft landing ensues in the familiar chorus.
Acid Mothers Temple & The Cosmic Inferno - Brainstorm
White Hills - Be Yourself
Kinski
Bardo Pond
Sonic Attack (Lords of Light)
TR014
Bardo Pond take Lord of Light on a psyche rock astral journey. A psychbliss epic version where guitars swirl and shimmer, drifting lazily across a gauzy sun dappled sonic sky. A spaced out jam of expansive guitars, dusty clouds of sonic whir, grungy outbursts and metallic undertones. Kinski lock into Masters of the Universe and build it from Krautrocking metronome-drone outer-space atmospherics to fuzzed-out mantric heaviness, fusing their twice removed blues with kosmische grooves.
