Saw the tour at Leeds University, really great night. Anyway thanks for the review Pete.
I remember Pete giving the recent release from Hawkwind "The Future Never Waits" (2023) a very positive review. I listened to it on RUclips and picked it up and it really is stellar. What's amazing is that original member Dave Brock is 82 years old.
Who knew the fountain of youth was windowpane?
Never owned any Hawkwind before finding SoT and you, Pete, almost four years ago. Have bought a few and acquiring over time. Been waiting on this anniversary and really appreciate your review and discussion regarding comparisons to prior releases. Helps focus on which one might end up in the personal library. Again, this proves why these weekly new product shows are must see viewing.
Good morning Pete, love that l.p.. I still have my original Canadian release tucked away. What a beauty! Cheers
Brian
Thank you, Pete for your review. All the damn time.
I really love, Hawkwind - Space Ritual.

Life is better with music
The full box set has 11 discs. I spent over a week going through it all. I’m big into SF music, Spacey Music, so getting the full thing was a must for me. The experience of listening to all the different versions & concerts day after day was a fantastic experience for me. It got me thinking how around a decade ago, when I listened to my first Hawkwind album I had trouble with the music. It was outside my listening experience. I especially didn’t get the annoying sax playing. I didn’t understand the band, but I knew they are an important SF band. That was enough to keep me exploring their music. Now, listening to 11 discs of Space Ritual, I was fully into it. I get it. Nik Turner’s sax playing makes sense to me. I love it. So hearing his playing better was great. What I got out of the box set, is realizing how much my mind has changed in the past decade. At the same time I listened to the box set, I was checking out this spaced out Jazz guy, Sun-Ra, who pre-dates Hawkwind. During that week plus with Space Ritual, I got 3 of Sonny’s most radical albums. Like Hawkwind a decade ago, my mind can’t really deal with this strange music. It’s too out there for me. It may take a decade, but I can see a time when my mind will adapt and Sun-Ra’s music will seem as natural & understandable as Hawkwind now is to me. Space Rock/ Space Ritual is about changing the mind. I’ve lived that change & I’m still outward bound.
glad you got what Nik was doing he was the true spirit of hawkwind
well to be totally honest Dave Brock constantly complained about Turner's sax playing & they sadly ended up having a Gilmour & Waters style huge falling out with each other.
@@JohnSmith-oe4ci yes i know brock liked a moan about turner's sax but i like it , space ritual vol 2 has his sax even louder in the mix which sounds fantastic
I got to see the American version of "Space Ritual" in Chicago and 3 other times after that. They always put on an incredible show.
I didn't get the remaster, just had the 1992 CD set. The new remix sounds excellent, like a thick curtain has been pulled away. I can hear the instruments distinctly. Didn't need the duplicate concerts though so just bought the 2 CD set. Very happy with it.
Legendary band just ordered remember way back in the day borrowed vinyl from student record library and taped it yeahhhh happy for this.
I only have Space Ritual on vinyl so this version sounds like the one to get.
merry christmas to my friend Pete Pardo.🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
I have the 1996 reissue which is probably enough for me. I'll spend my money on other stuff. Thanks, Pete!
Their most enjoyable album for me. I think I will stick with the version I have. So many releases to get something I already own. However, if someone doesn't have it, they should definitely go for it.
Got a copy of Warrior on the edge of time on CD this week. As Great as I remember it..
The Sunderland show is totally awesome
I like the Sunderland show, it is slightly different from the other shows. It is not quite as polished as the other shows, but in a good way.
Hey Man, really like your review. We were young in the 80'ts, did acid n listened to this album. ❤️❤️🤯
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Hawkwind still rolling, and Brock promoting animal rights.
Tough getting hold of the 10cd+BR box - think they underestimated demand and a few production issue - 2 of my discs jump
Get the 11 CDs there's many diff imrovs
Pete 10 cds plus dvd in big box set thanks
This is the best album remix I've ever heard, so definitely worth getting IMO. It's also the one album most deserving a good remix - thanks to Stephen W. Taylor.
i agree , sounds fantastic perfect separation and mix , been listening 40 yrs and i'm hearing stuff i've never heard before
Show suggestion: Bands I should like in theory (because they are totally in my wheelhouse) but I don‘t : )
Kind of how I feel about Gentle Giant ! I love Nektar and can't understand why so many people think G.G.is better or preferred!😅
@@sljulio Good example
the new mix is superb , Lemmy's bass was too loud and Brock's guitar too low on the original lp , the synths , sax , drums vocals all sound great with perfect separation imho !
Lemmy's bass to loud? How dare you sir!!😂
@@sljulio i know shocking and i play bass myself lol
I have the 96 Remix, but I have to find budget. Pete, would you suggest Frank Marino at the Agora or Space Ritual? Also Pete, I noticed that Vintage Caravan dropped a live release on Bandcamp two weeks ago, sounds really good.
If you already have Space Ritual, skip this and get Frank Marino.
Hey Pete where’d you get all your CDs I have a bunch of them on vinyl but would like to get them on CD?
Same places most people get them...anywhere and everywhere.
Does this box set include the original release without all the overdubs?
the original release has many vocal overdubs , the box set has 3 complete gigs and you notice which songs made the original LP and which songs have the vocal overdubs , it has the original release and a new remix which sounds fantastic
I think you’re right .. go all in for the big box …. Trouble is …. It’s sold out ..😢
i'm sure cherry red will release more soon
😃👍
Great review of a great band. PS: you always have sucha son that’s why I have to warn you. Please do not ever have Brandon Snyder back on your show. He’s a phony and a fraud who will abuse anyone who respectfully disagrees with him. Even if someone is disrespectful, we’re all old enough to rise above so he doesn’t get a pass for being rude to countless people who don’t think his Hair Metal bands, like Poison, are the greatest song writers. I think it’s important to “live and let live,”! But also not to allow charlatans onto a classy program, such as yours. I always love your Hudson Squares episodes with Chris Alo, Sydney & gang!!
Dave is far too loud and prominent, Lemmy has been mixed down way way way too low, and the cack-handed edit of Lemmy's bass solo in Orgone Accumulator is a joke.
Amateur shouty mess..... The definitive version is the DVD version of the Collector's Edition re-master. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Give me the twangy bass version any day !
lemmy was too loud and brock too low on the original lp so i really like the new re mix been listening 40 yrs and can hear stuff i never heard before
Mainly though, the bad sax is quieter, and the drums are now crystal clear. Hoorah! Loving mine.
Want to.know where to.get that Bela Lugosi 'White Zombie's t-shirt!?
