A comprehensive box gathering together 81 tracks of musical highlights from over 50 years of the legendary Hawkwind. The first ever compilation to gather together all eras of the band's history. Includes a lavishly illustrated book with new essay and exclusive interview with Dave Brock and a poster. Hawkwind are one of the most legendary British bands who emerged at the dawn of 1970's. Formed in the Notting Hill area of London in 1969 and always helmed by their visionary leader Dave Brock, Hawkwind truly bridged the genres of psychedelic rock, hard rock and art rock to create a sound of their own. Signing to Liberty/United Artists in 1970, Hawkwind's formative years saw them form their own brand of so-called Space Rock over a series of classic albums such as 'X In Search Of Space', 'Doremi Fasol Latido', 'Space Ritual' and 'Hall Of The Mountain Grill', with a series of ever changing line-ups. Their 1972 hit single 'Silver Machine' and imaginative stage shows firmly established them in the consciousness of rock audiences. 1975's 'Warrior On The Edge Of Time' marked the closure of one era of the band and saw Hawkwind progress in the latter half of the 70's to a more streamlined, art rock approach, with vocalist and lyricist Robert Calvert as front man on stage. The four albums the band issued during this period saw them embrace the New Wave of rock which was taking hold. In the 1980's and 1990's Hawkwind were embraced by followers of Heavy Metal and latterly Acid House audiences (although the band remained unclassifiable). Throughout the decades, the band has always retained their influential edge. 'Dust Of Time' celebrates Hawkwind's career of over 50 years and gathers together 81 tracks of musical highlights of this incredible legacy. It is the first compilation to encompass key tracks every era of this remarkable band's history and is a tribute to their legacy.

Nearly all albums are represented and most of the single releases are included. The beauty of this collection is the 6 CD's allow space for longer tracks that do not feature on other collections such as the fifteen minutes of You Shouldn't Do That. All the major hits are included such as Silver Machine, Urban Guerrilla, Shot Down In the Night etc. This really isn’t all the best of Hawkwind but it’s probably the best path to sum up the band’s rich and varied career over the last 50 years. A great overview of Hawkwind. (Amazon)
