THE FUTURE NEVER WAITS

Product Information

This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.

The Space Lords have been around for well over 50 years now, and this is their 35th studio album, plus of course numerous live albums and compilations. Silver Machine" / "Seven By Seven" ( United Artists, UP35381, 7", UK#3). Re-released 1976 (7"), 1978 (7" & 12", UK#34) and 1982 (7", 7" pic disc & 12", UK#67)Time it seems, is keeping Hawkwind creative, interesting, exciting and relevant. The future really never waits, welcome to the future. It is, amazingly, Hawkwind’s best studio album in a generation, and, arguably, their best since the mid-1970s. The former provides the first of the familiar stories of far-off places in The End that chugs along with trademark gusto aided and abetted by expansive drum fills and rushes of space wind. The singles and EPs listed here, in the main, are all of those that went on general release in the UK. There are a couple of overseas releases included as they are significant in that their A-side and/or B-side were unavailable in the UK.

It's a bit of a liquorice allsorts as far as Hawkwind albums go. The ambience, the samples, the electronica, the 70s fuzz, the driving bass and the poetry readings, everything you would expect, and maybe a little bit more but never staying in one place too long. Maybe not quite placed beside their classics but definitely worth a spin and of course these songs are going to sound amazing live. The Future Never Waitsfollows the band’s critically acclaimed 2021 album Somniaand 2022 double live album We Are Looking In On You , and is said to be “an outstanding progression to their varied and celebrated catalogue.” Hawkwind have been imaginative and brave, they should be congratulated and hopefully the fanbase will enjoy the journey of ‘The Future Never Waits’ as much as I have.
