:I think one of main criticism that can be levelled at many later albums is that
:the "density" of the songs diminishes in favour of numerous vaguely
:electronicky instrumental linking bits.  For example, the _songs_ on ET are
:fantastic, IMO, but the various instrumental bits don't do much for me (with
:the possible exception of "Snake Dance", which is kinda cool).  I know mileage
:varies and some fans dig this stuff -- but I just think there are better
:vendors of floaty electronica than Hawkwind, while there are few better vendors
:of roaring space-rock thunder (whether that's "Master of the Universe" in 1972
:or "LSD" in 1992).

So, ooc, who would you pick as better vendors of floaty electronica?
