     I still maintain the "Mask of Morning" retread is one of
Hawkwind's finest moments--certainly of this decade, but it
stands up well along side the best of the back-catalog.

     Well, the mighty Spacious Mind have built a fairly decent
rep on making albums that sound like all the wildest, spaciest
bits of ISOS--mostly improv as far as I can tell, and they do it

trick :)

Cheers,
