I'd rate this a 3.5/5 star Hawkwind release- nowhere near as essential as the albums of the early 70s to mid-80s but agreeable, and with the novelty of female vocals from Bridget Wishart. The tracks are occasionally 'new age-y' and lack the chugging riff-laden magnificence of earlier years but it's a pleasing set. Even the Sioux narration on Black Elk Speaks seems to work. So, pleasing but not great. The CD package itself on GWR Records is perfunctory - only a thin insert without much background on the band or tracks. No doubt the Atomhenge re-issue is more attractive but the album may not justify a larger cash outlay.
