Calvert. The poet, the visionary. His line: "Your Android replica is playing up again," is of course a prediction of things to come when faced with the realisation that you have bought a cheap Chinese copy of your Galaxy S5.... Oh, that's the spirit of the age.

A great example of Robert Calvert's sci-fi poetry and narration merged with Hawkwind's space rock. This is an instance where the live version outpaces the original.

this version was on the "weird tapes" that came out in the early 80s...

This is NOT crap. I'm not a hippie or an acid-head but I loved this music from the day I first heard it, in a Dario Argento movie of all places.

This is crap if I ever heard it. Some deadbeats needed a butt whipping.

People that appreciate this kind of music. Hawkwind,King Crimson,Captain Beyond,Gentle Giant,Robert Fripp,Caravan,Soft Cell etc etc are usually a cut above intellectually.

I prefer this version more than the original, honestly. Something about his voice, perhaps.

Adrian Shaw's bassline is seminal....one of many wonderful aspects of this song, including the blinding synth solo from 4:08.....wunnerful

Breaker, breaker. Come in Earth. This is Rocketship 27. Aliens fucked over the carbinator on Engine number 4. I'm going to try and refuckulate it and land on Juniper. Hopefully get some space weed. Over.
