I could agree with that...  Dave's guitar has too often been buried in the
mix in recent years.

Nah, I can't agree at all... I prefer that Hawkwind not become some
backwards-yearning band forever rehashing their past.  I think NEW Hawkwind
material has always been the strength of the band.  Hawkwind still continue
to write really great new stuff all the time which I think is just as good
as the early stuff.  I think any movement toward a "greatest hits" mentality
would be a move in the wrong direction!  This is a hip, current band that is
strongest at reconstituting itself and pulling out new sounds and new songs
all the time!
