HAWKWIND Space Ritual Sundown LEdt. DCD (2007)

1972. Hawkwind are onstage at the Brixton Sundown, operating somewhere between a rock concert and a collective hallucination. Nik Turner is playing saxophone in a silver bodysuit. Lemmy is on bass. This is not a metaphor.

Space Ritual is the document of peak Hawkwind, the proof that space rock was never just a gimmick but a fully realised philosophy, equal parts cosmic horror, political noise, and motorik thunder. This limited edition 2007 remaster of the Brixton Sundown recording pulls you into that specific gravitational field, the one where prog, psychedelia, and proto-metal collapse into something genuinely alien. If you came to dark and industrial music through the back roads of krautrock or early drone, this is where a lot of those roads begin.

Double CD, limited edition remastered live recording, captured at the Brixton Sundown, London, 1972. UK origin.

Fans of: Motörhead, Gong, Can, Silver Machine-era weirdness, and anyone who owns a synth they can't fully explain.
