HW: Human on the Outside

[Ian Abrahams]

Nice three star review of Alan's solo album in Record Collector this month:

Davey’s on the road again

With his third solo album, Human on the Outside, Davey, mainstay bassist through Hawkwind’s unloved years, has created a most diverting sound wash. Full of just enough space thrust to keep long-term Hawkfans on board, it also has enough of a contemporary twist to snag the passing modernist. Ethic Mosaic 2 sounds like something Thievery Corporation would have recorded. He even suggests moderation on Delusions of Ganja (“It’s an art you must control”). Meads of Asphodel (Davey’s other long-term gig) vocalist Metatron pops by to guest on the climatic horror-metal closer Glass Wolves.
This is well played, grown-up cosmic raving with a strong filmic quality. It’s the type of music that belched out from distorting speakers in the sort of field you passed quickly through at Glastonbury before The Man moved in. Daryl Easlea
