Hawkwind - 'It Is The Business Of The Future....' (Griffin).......2004-10-07

Released,at least in the U.S. in 1993.'It Is the Business...' has the long running UK space rock ensemble trying to combine elements of ambient as well as techno into their trademark style.Not as good as 1992's 'Electric Teepee',but that would be a tough one to beat anyway.Somewhat of a new ground for Hawkwind,but not THAT new.Some of the decent tunes here are the eleven minute epic "Space Is Their Palestine"(a good number when they play it live),the somewhat progressive-like "Techno Tropic Zone","Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" and their Stones cover "Gimme Shelter".Has Hawkwind done many covers,at least on an actual album?The line-up here is strictly a trio:Brock,Alan Davey and drummer Richard Chadwick.A nice addition to anyone's Hawkwind collection.

A great underrated gem.......2003-11-28

One thing I learned about Hwakwind early on is to never go into any new CD with expectations that it will sound like another. Listen to it as if hearing the group for the first time. Turn it way up and let the time slip by. It's as technically excellent as any latter Hawkwind album and showcases their techno-trance ambient tendencies. My fiancee belly dances to "Tibet is their (Palistine)." Sure, as one reviewer stated, the second half is weaker than the first, but not by much. "Gimme Shelter" needed a better vocalist, but that's my only complaint.

it is the business of Hawkwind to be invisible!.......2001-10-24

When I first heard this album, I kept thinking, " When are the
vocals going to kick in?" When they do, on the second half of the
disc, the album goes straight downhill. Side one is nearly all
instrumental and absolutely brilliant, particularly the first two
songs; the title track and " Space Is Their Palestine". These two
tracks are progressive, ambient techno at it's best! Richard Chadwicks's drumming is outstanding on these two songs!
Side two is very disappointing. Dave Brock must really love
that little reggae riff in " the camera that could lie', for it
showed up on PALACE SPRINGS IN " DAMNATION ALLEY!" Particularly
bad is the song "One or two erections in the course of one night"
(or was it two or three or four?) Any other group that would
have had the bad taste to use that for the title of a song
would have at least made it a funny song, but Hawkwind make it
a serious, spacy synthesizer instrumental! Their cover of "Gimme
Shelter" is rather forgettable( I would've loved to have heard
their live version of this with Samantha Fox!)
Not one of Hawkwind's better albums, but side one is
worth a listen!

nice album, nice melodies.......1999-10-15

I like especially the song "gimme shelter" featuring Samantha Fox.

great space jams a la electric teepee.......1999-01-21

throbbing synth and bass lines without much vocals. "the camera that could lie (remake of "living on the knife edge)" has a funky reggae thing to it which is refreshing, "psycho-tropic zone," is as bizarre and great as it sound. Al Davey notches up a vocal in a kick *** remake of the Stones "gimme shelter." Pretty darn good stuff.
