Title: Hawkwind - 'Alein 4' (EBS/Distributed by Griffin)
Product review: I was pleasantly surprized when I heard this CD at the time it first came out.A total of fourteen tracks,with the first ten being like a concept album.The four other cuts are extras,I guess,including two remixes of the 1978 Bob Calvert tune "Death Trap" and 1988's "Wastelands".The line-up here is:Brock,Alan Davey,drummer Richard Chadwick and(at the time)new vocalist/frontman Ron Tree.The opener "Abducted" and "Alein,I Am" get things started on this modern day space rock classic.Dave Brock's synth work really seem to shine through on this CD,as so does Tree's vocal performance.The tunes that I liked the best are "Reject Your Human Touch","Beam Me Up",the trippin' "Xemomorph" and "Sputnik Stan".You also get a twelve page booklet,that is sort of 'like' the Hawkwind-Alein handbook.Very cool.A fun disc to pull off the shelf every now and again to play.
