Title: Some hard-driving, intense stuff here
Product review: What can I say? This is one of those albums that is perfect to blast from the stereo during long-distance, late night drives. The usual S.F. themes in the lyrics abound: "Spirit of the Age" is about a future society of clones; "Damnation Alley" about a city-to-city courier in a post-nuclear war world. The title track can best be described as a love song for nerds. "Hassan I Sahba" tops them all: A hard rock song with Middle Eastern overtones, sung in Arabic. The musical style here is about five years ahead of it's time (this album was originally released in 1978) and groups like A Flock of Seagulls, and _Signals_-era Rush, owe a great deal influence-wise to this album. It rocks harder than either of those, however. If you're not already a Hawkwind believer this album will make you one.
