Hello

I've got a Space Rock Odyssey yesterday... listening to it now. I have mixed
feelings about it. From on point it's interesting concert but from another
it's the crappest concert I've heard for the last few months. Nik is in a
very bad form, his sax is very annoying, flute is too monotonous, band is
slow and too relaxed... no energy in improvisations, no Hawkwind! It's a
shame they tried to put it under the name Hawkwind!
The awful, the worst ever version of D-Rider - which is my fave HW song!

I guess the band could sound ok if there was Dave or Alan or Richard... or
wihtout Nik! But there Nik was there who spoiled everything.

And total disrespect to fans - to release audience recording, and even not
very good quality! A lot, really lot of crowd noise and talking!

I'm disappointed. Even his space ritual 1994 was much better though boring a
lot.

Alice
