The early 80's saw Hawkwind signed to RCA, 3 albums were released, of which Choose Your Masques was the most successful.
Whilst the band had gone through another line up change, the core of Dave Brock, Huw Lloyd - Langton and Harvey Bainbridge saw their date sheet as full as ever.
This double cd is a 24 track recording of the complete show with a full colour booklet, which is a faithfull reproduction of the tour programme.

ONT FACE="VERDANA, ARIAL" SIZE=2> HAWKWIND: The Collectors Series Volume 2: Choose Your Masques, Live 1982 (double CD on Hawk Records)

This double CD is 86 minutes from Hawkwind's "Choose Your Masques" Tour in 1982 (suspected to be from one of the band's two nights at London's Hammersmith Odeon that year). The band this time is: Dave Brock, Hugh Lloyd-Langton, Harvey Bainbridge, and Martin Griffin on drums.

During the Eighties, Hawkwind injected a heavy metal edge to their signature sound, accelerating the power chords and diverting the topics of their songs from the mysteries of space to dealing with futuristic conflicts.

Replacing the old Hawkwind choppy rhythm guitar style with biting ax virtuosity, the music takes on a grungier edge, made more lethal by the vehement vocals and the screaming tidal wave of synthis. The drums are up-front and insistent. Strong performances blaze with epic fury and cosmic dedication.

Peppered in with the "Choose Your Masques" material are some fond favorites: "Psychedelic Warrior", "Master of the Universe", "Ejection", and "Brainstorm".

This live release possesses extremely clear sound quality, capturing each sonic lick and snarl with commanding effect. There's also a surprise appearance by Nik Turner on sax.
