My Favorite Hawkwind Album.......2007-01-13

I guess it's mainly because I love the studio versions of "Down Through the Night" and "Space is Deep" so much, but the rest of the album is pretty fine, too.
However, I did notice that it doesn't sound quite as good as it did 30+ years ago, when I used to crank this thing after a bit of "chemical enhancement".

hawkwind daze...........2006-11-28

THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS ALBUM WAS AT A PARTY IN 1973 WHILE DRINKING BOONESFARM STRAWBERRY HILL AND EATING PEYOTEBUDBROWNIES.SOMEONE PUT ON AN EIGHT TRACK OF THIS ALBUM AND JUST LET IT PLAY CONTINUOUSLY FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS.I GUESS THAT JUST ABOUT SAYS IT ALL..................

Another mighty Hawkwind classic!!.......2006-09-27

For review number 200 on Amazon (do I get a prize or something?), I thought I'd write a review for an album by one of my all time favorite bands.......Hawkwind!!! My brother John originally bought this on vinyl sometime around 1980, and my biggest memory of it was the story that appears on the back cover, which has Hawkwind and it's road crew as super heroes who were called upon to fight evil on distant planets and/or universes, or something like that! When I finally bought Doremi on CD in 1991 (on ONE WAY RECORDS, whose version did not include the story), I was initially not overwhelmed by how GOOD this album was, but how LOUD it was. As a matter of anti-fiction, I first thought that other than the song 'Space is Deep' that this album was horrible! After a another listen or two, however, I grew to love this album.

As stated earlier, this is an extremely LOUD album, with much emphasis on drums and bass guitar. This was the 'Winds first album with drummer Simon King and bassist Lemmy, the band's tighest and heaviest rhythm section up to that point (and maybe their heaviest rhythm section ever). This album and Space Ritual were Hawkwind's first two (or maybe only two) heavy metal albums. Lemmy was a great addition to the band..not only was he a great bass player, he could also write songs, play guitar and sing...if you consider what Lemmy does singing, that is! Given all this, it is pretty odd that Lemmy provides the album with it's most quiet and laid back song, with the acoustic guitar ballad 'The Watcher'. Personally, I prefer the version of this song that would later appear on Motorhead's On Parole album. Synthesizer and audio generator player Del Dettmar provides the album's other truly quiet moment, the 49 second synthesizer and piano instrumental ' One Change '.

The album gets off to an overwhelmingly loud start, however, with Nik Turner's 11 and a half minute spacy , three chord hard rocker ' Brainstorm ', one of the most well known Hawkwind tunes of all time and one that would remain in their live set for the rest of their career, which in 2006 is still going strong. Certainly not Turner's best set of lyrics, but the song has a powerful and very catchy guitar riff, and some very prominent backing vocals from Lemmy. The best way to enjoy this song (if, like me, you don't do drugs) is to just turn the volume all the way up and let the song overwhelm and surround you and take you in. Next up is my favorite song on the album, Brock's acoustic guitar led ' Space is Deep ', which I think is the one of the more melodic songs here. I love Brock's vocals (he has always been my favorite vocalist for this band), the acoustic guitar riff, and particularly the synthesizers...the best use of synthesizers on a Hawkwind album up to that point.

The second half gets off a very strong start with the fast-paced and heavy riff rocker 'Lord of Light'. Great song, but not the best mix, with way too much wind effects (or should I say just to be clever, 'Hawkwind' effects?) on Brock's guitar. Still, this song has more powerful drumming and bass playing from King and Lemmy. 'Down Through The Night' is another acoustic guitar and snthesizer driven number, quite listenable like most of this record. I like the version of this song from Space Ritual, which has more electric guitar on it. 'Time We Left This World Today ' is another hard rocker, though I think it is one the weaker and more sloppy tunes on the album. Still, it is very catchy and has more of Lemmy's prominent and distinct background vocals.

As for the bonus tracks, well...I haven't bought this remastered version, but two of the tracks, Urban Guerilla and Brainbox Pollution, show up on the compilation by Cleopatra Records, 'Psychedelic Warlords', 'Lord of Light' shows up on another Cleopatra Records Hawkwind compilation LORD OF LIGHT, while 'Ejection' originally popped up on Bob Calvert's wonderful Captain Lockheed album. All four of these are great songs, but if you own these three albums (and One-Way Records Doremi) then I guess getting this remastered version would be redundant, even though I bet it restores the story on the back of the LP (the pun wasn't intended!) and probably includes some pics, so maybe it isn't a waste of your time getting it!

In either form...this is certainly not the best SOUNDING Hawkwind album, but it is still one of their best in terms of songs and definitely their loudest album. I like it a bunch!

Sitting alone in the den.......2006-06-26

Watching the eel. No, I go too far. If like me you are partial to regular stretches of extreme indolence you probably already know that this rock solid record right here is one of the great musical accompaniments to near total inertness. Talk about floating away. The time I read Laurence Sterne's magnificent chapter on sleep in Tristram Shandy I was pretty much horizontal on my recliner with Doremi cranked up in the foreground and for one transcendently slow motion moment I thought I'd died and woken up asleep in heaven. Brainstorm, the first song, rumbles on for over eleven surging and driving minutes and is, if anything, far too short. Space is Deep's majestic slide from one kind of acoustic groove into a bigger, crunchier sound will break your heart if you've got the volume up to where it's supposed to be. Same goes for the spectacularly collapsing intro to Lord of Light and the whole tribal stomp that powers Time We Left This World Today. The sax on Brainbox Pollution is none too shabby either and this bonus track just maybe might even be the diamond in the rough here. I like the vocals all through this album too--is that Lemmy on The Watcher? Lemmy Kilmister, eh? Now there's a dude stands ten feet tall with a knife. And yes I have heard the usual (sigh) complaints about Hawkwind's lyrics being on the cheesy side but honestly I can't say they bother me that much--storms of innocence mostly and rather appealing at that. What are lyrics anyway only words and what are words most of the time only the toy bows and arrows of those credulous simpletons who would have their imaginations brought to heel. Memo to Thom Yorke: uncork your thumb once in a way, lose the anguished falsetto stylings and lyrics that really make you think and start pretending like you're in an actual rock and roll band.

Space Rock Classic : fasten your seat belt for a real trip........2006-06-15

Yup, it was my teen years and I was in Search of something different. I got my original Vinyl copy of this album at a pawn shop and even though it had a warp in it and it skipped, I loved this album. My favourites include Brain Storm and Lord of Light. This is a very spacey album and it has a lot of energy. This will not appeal to everyone. But, in my opinion one of the best Hawkwind albums.

Not True Hawkwind, but it still ROCKS.......2007-07-08

I went to my local Twist and Shout(actually its pretty far away) to get CDs that I can't find at such places like Best Buy. The true reason I went there was for a Hawkwind CD. I was really trying to find Space Ritual Volume 1 or even Leviathan but this was the only CD they had. So, naturally, I bought it. Its a great CD, Space Is Deep, Urban Gurrilla, Lord of Light...Dam, all the songs are awesome. Though, I really like true Hawkwind a lot better, all songs have that certain space feel but some have it more than others. Definently Space Is Deep and Lord of Light are the best songs on this album, even Brainbox Pollution aswell. If your interested in Hawkwind, this CD is probably a good place to start, at least...for me.

Hawkwind on the rise.......2003-09-24

Doremi Fasol Latido is one of the earlier Hawkwind albums. It came out just before the mindblowing Space Ritual and shows the band in very fine form on most of the tracks. Unlike the brilliant Mountain Grill, the sci-fi theme is more protrusive (and intrusive) here. The opener, Brainstorm, is very propulsive. The distorted guitar work highlights the corporeal release of the lyrics. The logical successor, Space Is Deep, is as good as any rock song gets. It begins accoustically (with the obligatory synthesizers effects in the background) and then takes off like the spaceship song it wanted to be. The subtle shift from accoustic to electric is breathtaking. One Change and the intro to Lord of Light reflect very strong Sun-Ra influences with the dissonant piano and spacy bass and cymbal sounds. Lord of Light is another fine rocker with a freak-out guitar solo in the middle-lot's of instrumental phazing on this song. Down Through The Night is an evokative, accoustic, come-down piece along the lines of Jimi Hendrix's 1983 . . . (from Electric Ladyland)with the gentle guitar/synthesizer wails in the background. Once again, the sci-fi is there whether you want it to be or not--this one is about a deep space slumber until a certain time when the sleeper will awaken in the future.
Just when you are about to enter your own slumber, Hawkwind socks it to you with their heaviest and most experimental number, Time We Left This World Today. If there are comparisons to Amon Duul to be made, it would be made on this song. It alternates between emulating a machine-like rhythm and free-form jamming. It's a very unusual song. The last song is the bummer of the album. It consists of Dave Brock and his accoustic guitar singing in that cockney accent of his. If it serves a purpose, it is to cement the theme of fatalism that is woven throughout. It's a song about betrayal and failure and a heck of a way to close an album. As for the bonus tracks, I loved them. They definitely improved on the original release. Urban Guerilla wouldn't have been out of place on the second MC5 album. Brainbox Pollution features a sax player. There is also an edited version of Lord of Light here. The last song, Ejection, is refreshing for the different vocals and the addition of the saxophone. Will Doremi Fasol Latido blow you away? Eventually it probably will, but this is an album that must grown on you from at least two or three listenings, otherwise you won't get everything that's going on in the songs.

THE BEST HAWKWIND ALBUM EVER.......2002-07-06

When i heard DOREMI FASOL LATIDO IN 72 IT BLEW ME AWAY.There was nothing else like it.The beginning was like a freight train at 100 mies an hour headed for your head.The keyboards, guitars, vocals were vissionary.As each song lead into the next it was space rock at its absolute best.Truly a must have for every space rock lover.

Lovingly re-packaged space-rock masterpiece.......2001-02-23

Hawkwind have recorded so many albums in their 30-or-so yearhistory -- and 23 have charted -- that it's difficult for the casualbuyer to decide which to get.

Although recorded in the same era,this album does not contain the 'Silver Machine' single, but it hasthe same epic qualities. The packaging has been wonderfully assembled-- looking back, I now see the enormous influence that this album hadon the designers of the 'Warhammer' games. Personally, I would havepreferred not to have the inclusion of the last four extra tracks,however rare they might be. The first seven tracks made up anintegrated whole, and the extra tracks aren't in the same vein.

Butthis is marvellous space-rock.... I don't find the recording qualitypoor, but it is 28 years since I first bought the LP....It's great to have the album on CD now. I doubt whether Hawkwind everintended this stuff to be played on car stereos, but it's superbmotorway driving material.

How DO these labels do it? I mean,here you have two of Hawkwind's vital CD reissues, '72's 'Doremi...' and '71's 'In Search Of Space',in a specially packaged 2-CD import pressing. Rest assure,these are the later day reissues with the added bonus tracks. STOP! I can't TAKE anymore of this excitement. Obviously,aimed toward the completists. Duh! Highly recommended.
