Well put Jon.  I recently revisited those albums, and that sums up what
I'd been trying to figure out.  The Live album that got put out by
Voiceprint from that era shows what a powerful incarnation of the band
it was.

 	I rather like the RCA albums but they suffer from a terrible
lack of songs. The few that are there have proven durable--and I even
like `Coded Languages' though I wouldn't have wanted to see it live--but
they're partly drowned by filler and marred by electric drums. But the
eerie synth explorations make it up for me. `Void City', `Virgin of the
World', `Dreamworker' and `Psychosonia' all qualify as yer actual head-
messing psychedelia as far as I'm concerned. And then there's
`Fahrenheit 451', `Arrival in Utopia', `Rocky Paths' and `Angels of
Death' along more traditional lines. But of course there's also `Star
Cannibal', and the dodgy remakes. I think if all the remakes were thrown
out and replaced with unfinished Hawklords tracks never released, of
which there seem to have been some, those albums would all be far
stronger. Yours,
 								Jon
