The third album from Hawkwind, and one in which it seems like the group are really beginning to find their groove – maybe in part because Lemmy's in the lineup here, giving them some rudimentary bass parts that seem to push the boundaries even more – while all the spacey sounds and cool production elements of the previous two records seem to get even turned up more in the mix as well! This is definitely space rock of the finest pedigree – a group who are able to use electronics and moogy elements in all the right ways, while still also serving up a guitar-driven sound that's perfectly in a space between prog and hard rock – yet very different than most of the mainstream in both! Titles include "Time We Left This World Today", "The Watcher", "Brainstorm", "Space Is Deep", "Lord Of Light", and "Down Through The Night". 3CD edition features bonus tracks "Born To Go (live single)", "Lord Of Light (German single)", "Brainbox Pollution", "Take What You Can", "Seven By Seven (October 72 remake)", and "Urban Guerilla" – plus a new remastering of the album, and a new stereo mix of the album by Stephen W Taylor. CD3 features the group's 10 track performance at the Greasy Truckers Party – in a new Stephen Tayler stereo mix. Blu-Ray discs feature both 96KHZ/
24-Bit 5.1 Tayler surround sound and stereo mixes of the album, and his mix of the Greasy Trucker's party – all in a very cool 10" package with a lavish book and replica of the 1972 Star Rats poster.
(Includes a beautiful bonus booklet and a replica of the original "Star Rats" poster!)
