Damnation Alley was one of my favorite films as a kid... we taped it off of the TV and I watched it religiously. The vehicle created for it was really cool and clearly influenced the troop carrier vehicle in Aliens.
I'm completely new to Hawkwind, but I immediately liked what I heard from an (earlier) album. Having no knowledge of the band, when I played "Quark...," I immediately understood what you mean by "poppy" (in contrast to the earlier album I listened to). I liked it, either way, though. In some ways, it almost sounds like a different band. Anyway, I'm definitely going to listen to more of them. I noticed Outlaw Bookseller has a video about them; I'm gonna check it out. Great stuff. Cheers.
I don't know if I have a favorite Hawkwind studio album, but I really do love "Live Chronicles"; It's a punky electronic psychedelic metal journey that is awesome! I played the heck out of that cassette until I replaced it with a cd version. Looks like a Hipgnosis cover. I do think I have this on Lp......
Thanks for the recommendation, just gave it a listen...being a Brian Eno fan, I enjoyed this...very Enoesque/Roxyesque...surprised he's not the engineer/producer lol...also recalls for me Sonic Youth, Velvet Underground...Fable of a Fallen Race brings to mind your recent review of the Moorcock movie The Final Programme...

That's awesome. We need to do this film over at Liminal Spaces.

They really did change a lot over time. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for watching.

The live stuff is really incredible. I did read that this was their only Hipgnosis cover. This is a good one.

These are some really good points. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
My fave by Hawkwind is Warrior On the Edge of Time.
This is a great album. Lemmy was a great part of this band.
