'Hawkfest,2002' - Various Artists (Hawkwind/Voiceprint).......2006-08-15

Can't believe that no one else has yet reviewed this 2-CD import release.Maybe not an absolute must-have but a decently assembled audio diary (sort to speak) of the first-ever annual Hawkfest event.Total of thirteen tracks,I thought maybe two of these cuts didn't really belong,being Jez Nugget's "Kansas City Blues" and Connecting Route's "Intro"(what's a reggae tune doing on this compilation?). Let's move onto the true gems of this should-have Voiceprint title.I was impressed with Hawkwind's "Night Of The Hawks", the spaced out Tribe Of Cro's "I Have No Life",Astralasia's cover of Hawkwind's "Uncle Sam's On Mars" (they add a whole new dimension to the Bob Calvert classic), the Mr.Quimby's Beard track "Mystery",Bedouin's "LSD",the Litmus contribution of "Invader" and One Eyed Bishop's cover of the early Hawkwind(off their debut album) staple "Hurry On Sundown".This isn't the first band I've ever heard cover this tune,but it sounds very good.Another CD to put in the player after 1 am. Long live space rock! Enjoy.
