Our Take

Listen up, all you space cadets and intergalactic rockers! It's time to blast off into the stratosphere with Hawkwind's latest compilation album, "The RCA Active Years 1981-1982.” Strap yourselves in, because this cosmic journey is about to take you on a wild ride through the outer limits of sound. From the moment the first track kicks in, you can tell that Hawkwind are on a mission to transport you to another dimension. With swirling synths, throbbing basslines, and electrifying guitars, this band has mastered the art of creating a sonic universe all their own. One standout moment on the album is the epic track "Coded Languages," which showcases Hawkwind at their most hypnotic and otherworldly. As the swirling patterns of sound envelope you, you can't help but feel like you're floating through the cosmos on a psychedelic spaceship. But it's not all smooth sailing in this sonic galaxy. Tracks like "Robot" and "Vega" bring a harder edge to the mix, with gritty guitars and pounding drums that will have you headbanging in no time. Overall, "The RCA Active Years 1981-1982" is a must-listen for any fan of space rock or prog music. So grab your cosmic helmets, buckle up, and get ready for a trip you won't soon forget. Hawkwind may have been flying under the radar for a while, but with this album, they're sure to rocket back into the stratosphere.
