Peter Pavli on bass worked with Robert Calvert and appears on Third Ear Bands Macbeth

He was classically trained on cello and studied under Rostropovich (probably the leading cellist of the 20th century) for five years

I saw Hawkwind circa 2003 in a small venue (Walthamstow Town Hall, north east London) with Simon House in the line-up.

It was the first gig that I took a young 32 year old Mrs C to. It blew her away - she still talks about it now 15 years later!

J/J, you will definitely want to check out the second album - eponymously titled.

Not quite as blisteringly heavy as this one, but still a great album and a little more diverse. Better recording quality than this one too.

that's excellent!!

that drum section almost had an in-a-gadda-da-vida feel for a minute there

[Spock!]

dammmmmn the interplay is so brilliant

Absolutely.

[Nancy]

The rhythm section is great as well. Lots of time signature changes.

[C]

Better recording quality than this one too.

Yes a nice remixed remaster would be delightful

[But then the fuzziness adds to the charm]

[Spock!]

This is goth rock years before that would be coined.



But better!

[kath]

some of these fast fiddle sections sound like sped-up medieval tavern table dancing, mwhahahaha

The rhythm section is great as well. Lots of time signature changes.

They are indeed - very tight

[as a duck's ass/arse]

Do you have the Esoteric remasters?

[C]

This is goth rock years before that would be coined.

Yes - we just called it 'underground music' back in the day

mwhahaha... i can hear that, i hear so many elements here that are inherently kathish... such a unique mix. elements of psych, folk, proto-metal, dark lyrics, i don't even know what all, but it's wunnnnnerful
