I really like Lemmy's backing vocals on It's So Easy.  They're all over
the shop, and utterly magnificent.  This track is almost worth the cost
of the album on its own.  Never has the image of Hawkwind as barbarians
let loose with guitars been more appropriate.  None of your posturing,
they just picked the damn things up and *played*.

Lemmy's backing vocals on Sonic Attack are fun too.  I played the album
at home last night.  The big hi-fi didn't detect any more refinement
in the sound, but it did add weight.  I couldn't play it too loud, so
when I went out back to clean the cats' litter tray, all I could hear
was the distant muttering of a spoken track ... until Lemmy's bellowed
"HIM -- SELF !!"  came echoing down the hall!  Well, it raised a smile
for me.

Dave.
