Mystery "Brainstorm" (around 4:28 long)?

[Dave Bottomley]

Hey Carl

Have just dug the CD out & you're correct - Brainstorm & HIYA are combined
into a single 11-minute track. However, it *does* begin with the 'horn' (as
you put it), quickly followed by a brief "Hawkwind in your area, Hawkwind on
your land" chant, then into the song. I don't know of any other version that
starts like this & I don't recall it appearing on a compilation (in
truncated or any form). Brainstorm itself lasts until around the 4:00 mark,
then there's around 20 seconds of transition, before the reggaeness begins. 

So, I still think this is the correct version, I just don't have an
expanation as to why you've only got the first 4.5 mins. Simplest
explanation would be that you faded it before the reggae bit, I guess.

I thought it might be, though the online discographies I've checked (for 
example, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Your_Area>) suggest the 
"Brainstorm" on _In Your Area_ forms part of a single track: 
"Brainstorm" (Turner) / "Hawkwind in Your Area" (Brock/Rizz) 11:08.

... though my mystery "Brainstorm" is by itself and only 4:28.  But 
perhaps the track listing on Wikipedia for "In Your Area" is wrong, and 
"Brainstorm" is a separate track on the CD from "Hawkwind in Your Area"?

I haven't got the "In Your Area" disc in the UK with me -- can anyone 
confirm/deny the details of the "Brainstorm" track on it?

Cheers,
Carl
