Reviews
In 1979, Hawkwind released their "Live 79" album. The "Complete '79" double CD (totaling 91 minutes in length) features twice the material as that original release. At this point the band line-up is: Brock, Huw Lloyd-Langton on guitar, Harvey Bainbridge on bass, Simon King on drums, and the synthesizers of Tim Blake (from Gong).

The music here is savage with a flowing touch. Blake's electronics are bubbling and organic, his keyboards drone with an endless shimmer. This sparkle adds an odd flavor to the razor guitar and growling bassline and critical mass drums. The vocals have a rock band quality, husky and insistent. Frequently, the electronics and guitars go head-to-head, exerting maximum force with their melodic outbursts, generating a sonic duel (where the real winner is the listener). These moments are very reminiscent of early Hawkwind, evolving that savagery with a compressed refinement, then injecting it into a hard rock format. It is a satisfying union.

This sound mutates classic tunes like "Spirit of the Age", "PXR5", "Silver Machine", and the obligatory fave "Brainstorm", while the sound is aptly applied to material current to the period, like "Motorway City", "World of Tiers", and "Levitation". Meanwhile, tracks like "New Jerusalem" and "Lighthouse" display Blake's electronic wizardry with amazing capacity...for nearly 20 minutes too. Here, his synthesizers gurgle and swoop with a pronounced sedative quality, going astral before the music resumes its savagely rhythmic structure.
