August 28, 2005: REVIEWS UPDATE

We’re doing a “mini-issue” update in advance of the next full issue in
November because Scott Heller did an interview with Hawkwind that we want to
coincide with the September 12 release of the long awaited new Hawkwind CD,
Take Me To Your Leader. We’ve also got an article from Charles Van de Kree
and a handful of reviews.

NOTE: I will be out of town on (a much needed) vacation starting this
Thursday, September 15, and won’t be back until the 26th. So all Aural
Innovations activities will be on hold until then. I will be email
accessible but I won’t be able to do any radio shows or fill store orders.
But when I get back fasten your seatbelts cause I’ve got a load of radio
shows just about ready to go. And there are some great new Space Rock
releases that should be ready by the end of September, including the debut
CD by Swedish space rockers First Band From Outer Space (Record Heaven
label), the long awaited Secret Saucer (Andy G’s Dead Earnest label), and
the latest in The Spacious Mind’s limited edition CDR’s documenting live
performances. I’ll be stocking more copies than usual of all of these. Drop
me a note at jkranitz at aural-innovations.com if you want me to reserve any of
these for you.

All of the following are accessible from the What’s New page at
