Killa KelaHOST
I mean, Labrador Grove was always seen as this kind of hangout spot.
Killa KelaHOST
Anyway, from what I understand, you know, bands like Hawkwind and people like that would always be around the area, ballooning with a kind of folky culture.
Killa KelaHOST
What became Brick Lane now, it was kind of platformed there, wasn't it? That's where you always hang out and everything.
Trevor HornGUEST
Yeah, it was the front line, really.
Paul HanleyHOST
fiction was there?
Simon ArmitageGUEST
Hawkwind were on.
Paul HanleyHOST
That was it.
Paul HanleyHOST
Michael
Emma NelsonHOST
That's ...
Guy DelawnyHOST
That's my favorite Hawkwind album.
Emma NelsonHOST
So snappy.
Emma NelsonHOST
It will suppose-- That's so niche.
Jim JuppGUEST
I got into Craig Rock and Cannes and Noy.
Jim JuppGUEST
And then weirdly, that led me back to Hawkwind, which was, oh, well, this is perfect for me because this is where all the tribes come together, don't they, in Hawkwind? it is a massive science fiction soundtrack from, you know, in whatever guise, you know, what became it.
Jim JuppGUEST
So that sort of made sense to me.
Jim JuppGUEST
But it was, yeah, I had a mate in school who had quite wealthy parents and he got, they bought him a synthesizer and a couple of mates, we went around his house and he was just playing, it was just a little thing, but he was just playing these noises and this would have been about 79, 80, but it absolutely blew my mind.
BeckHOST
They didn't have a massive catalog.
BeckHOST
They didn't get their place in rock history alongside Black Sabbath and Deep Purple or even Hawkwind.
BeckHOST
Instead, they disappeared into the underground.
BeckHOST
And Round the Edges became one of those records that collectors whispered about, the kind of album that seemed almost mythical because hardly anyone had actually heard it.
Graham OliverGUEST
And it was run by a bass player who'd been in...
Graham OliverGUEST
Silver Machine, Hawkwind.
Graham OliverGUEST
And they called him Thomas.
Graham OliverGUEST
And he'd got his wife and two kids and they were vegetarians.
Dean PiovaniGUEST
I think my...
Dean PiovaniGUEST
I've said this before, I think my first musical epiphany was in 1972 and I heard Silver Machine by Hawkwind.
Dean PiovaniGUEST
Right.
Dean PiovaniGUEST
And I was 11, but I was absolutely fascinated by the space noises, all those electronic oscillating space noises.
Dean PiovaniGUEST
so I don't know.
David EastaughHOST
There you go.
David EastaughHOST
But yes, so yeah, Hawkwind was definitely one of those bands.
David EastaughHOST
Actually, when you mentioned Hawkwind, I also remember Crazy Horses, which has sort of excited us in the playground as well, which was because it had that...
Sean HallHOST
And excuse my notes.
Sean HallHOST
It's it's it's a Hawkwind album and it's in search of space, which has got a rather remarkable album cover.
Sean HallHOST
I'm often seen wearing the the t-shirt it's by a designer called Barney Bubbles it's sort of in an art deco style you'll you'll you'll know it if you've you know you remember it is it prog though that's the thing it's probably closer to um a mix of psychedelia and and kraut rock I guess with the kind of uh rhythms but there's you know it's experimental it's uh quite free form it's It's got some jazz elements from the sax player Nick Turner.
Sean HallHOST
It's also got a sort of folkish influence as well because you've got some nice acoustic numbers there courtesy of Dave Brock.
Sean HallHOST
But, you know, they really were in it for the music at this point.
Sean HallHOST
You know, I think when money got involved, that's when it starts turning ugly and you end up with all the sort of tax exiles that the punks hated.
Sean HallHOST
But I think certainly at this point, there's one or two bands, there's another band I'll mention that I think are akin to Hawkwind in that sort of artistic sense.
Sean HallHOST
sort of sense.
Steve HodgkinsGUEST
I think it's an adaptation of a Michael Moorcott book.
Steve HodgkinsGUEST
And he was quite big in with Hawkwind at the time.
SteveHOST
Yeah.
Steve HodgkinsGUEST
I get the feeling that Hawkwind was supposed to do the soundtrack, but didn't.
Steve HodgkinsGUEST
They turn it for about half a second in the film if you look at it very, very carefully.
Steve HodgkinsGUEST
Yeah.
Dave JacksonGUEST
There was a lot more of that kind of culture.
Dave JacksonGUEST
Because the first gig I ever went to was Hawkwind at the Liverpool Stadium.
Dave JacksonGUEST
And I was supported by Brinsley Schwartz, Nick Lowe's band.
Dave JacksonGUEST
And there was a couple of other acts and none of them, none of the other bands were kind of, you know, trance psych rock or whatever like hawkwin was yeah yeah but you know but and i was shocked to discover that there were all these michael mocock covers kind of being flashed up behind the screen because i've been reading his books since i was about 12 or you know when i discovered them in a kind of angle see holiday camp shop kind of thing And it was like, wow, you know, cross-cultural fertilisation.
