Onward

Performer: Hawkwind
Distributor: Plastic Head

Notes: Onward, the 26th studio album from legendary space rockers Hawkwind, coincides with Dave Brock's 70th birthday, and while it may not be the bolt from the blue that longtime fans had hoped for (painting by numbers on a canvas this big is hardly a deal breaker), it's as expansive, trippy, and overflowing with Hawkwind staples as anything the group has put out in its later years. Featuring the small army of Brock, Richard Chadwick, Tim Blake, Mr. Dibs, and Niall Hone, the two-disc Onward feels both familiar and ephemeral, from the retro acoustic vibe of "Mind Cut" to the straight-up epic prog rock of "Seasons." ~ James Christopher Monger

Mojo (Publisher) (p.84) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "18 tracks that see the band continue to expand their recent sound, the basis of which harks back to 1980's LEVITATION....[A]n album whose very title says much about the band's restless spirit."

Inspired equally by the hippie lifestyle/marathon jamming of the '60s West Coast bands and the interstellar excursions of Pink Floyd, Hawkwind helped invent "space rock" as we know it today. Through countless albums and personnel shifts, they've continued to combine heavy rock with science fiction in a futuristic setting, inspiring a generation of bands and several international space-rock festivals.
