Generally the opinion I've gotten from this list is that it is not
very popular here.  It holds a certain place for me as it was the first
hawkwind album I ever picked up.  As I put it, I "gave them another chance"
and managed to overcome my initial impression.  Since then, well... I
like Camera a lot.  The rest I find harmless enough ambience, except
perhaps Techno Tropic Zone and the cover of Gimme Shelter which I don't
care for.

I think at the time it was viewed as a target of certain phases the
hawks were going through, white zone trend and all...

Now, the follow up, "The Business Trip", stands amongst my all-time
favorite hawkwind albums.
