        To steer the conversation off in another random direction, I
tend to like modern Hawkwind almost as much as Lemmy-era.  I'd like them
almost the same if it weren't for the superabundance of electronic filler
on the modern albums and corresponding lack of guitar 'n' bass driven
blanga.  I'll put "Mask of Morning" and live versions of "Out of the
Shadows" and "Sputnik Stan" up there with _HotMG_ and such like ...

Cheers,
Carl
