===========================================================

The Hawkwind Tribute vinyl "Assassins of Silence, Hundred Watt Violence" has
finally made its way to me. 23 bands doing 25 covers, some good - some not
so good - most memorable so far: Tibetan Bowlers doing a "Wizard Blew his
Horn" version of "Hassan I Sahba". Spoken, with strange noises bubbling
around. Weird, weird... Imagine someone in panic asking out in eternity:
"Black September? Black   September? Hashish?    Hashin..?"
Also Gorilla doing a laid back/speed metal version of "Flying Doctor" and
F/i's never ending / ever lasting / fuzzy "Robot"...
Label: Ceres Records - CERES01
This double vinyl is something I'm going to play often...
Cover is a "black space with white flashes & stars in the background, and a
big Hawk in front". Space Ritual type of Fold Out cover - lyrics inside. The
Assassins Log is also there - one side each to all bands. Good job, Doug!
(Good Reason not to appear on a stupid Hawkwind Tribute album: "It took us
two and a half years to get our latest album together, so you don't want us
involved"
