CD Reviews
You Get What You Pay For ... Be Warned
Joe (Hawkwind FAN since 1971) | Naperville, Illinois | 12/07/1999
(1 out of 5 stars)
"This recording is of such poor quality that you'll regret ever buying it. Sounds like it was done on a portable tape deck. I have many Hawkwind recordings and love most of them ... but this one was so bad I had to get rid of it.Buy ... In Search of Space || Doremi Fasol Latido || Warrior at the Edge of Time || Hall of the Mountain GrillAnd the most important of all .... A SPACE RITUAL (2 CD)"
Hawkwind-'Entire&Infinite Universe Of...' (Dressed To Kill)
Mike Reed | USA | 10/11/2004
(2 out of 5 stars)
"The only reason I've giving this 4-CD box set release a two-star rating instead of just one,is that 'Entire...' has the 'Text Of Festivals' CD(see my review of that disc)within it's 4-CD box set.I believe that MAY be the title that 'Entire...' ends up having two(2) copies of.One major downside about 'Entire...' is that since it is,in fact a 4-CD box set,it takes up entirely to MUCH room on anyone's music rack,shelf,etc.It could've easily been edited down to a 2-CD release.Some advise for the people at the Dressed To Kill label,LOOK/LISTEN...check out the material more closely the NEXT time you want to put out a release like this.Their 'In Search Of Space:'60's To '70's' 3-CD box set,now that's an interesting collection of music.Has a wide variety of artists.Two thirds of the tunes on that box set are actually good."
Incomplete Copies of 4? Titles
Eric DiStefano | 08/16/2002
(1 out of 5 stars)
"At first I got excited that I got CD versions of not 3, but 4 live releases for a very low price, at least at face value. But... the Text of Festival is incomplete, leaving out the enire Sides 3 and 4, extended jams, the main reason for having Text of Festival. Also, the Masters of the Universe is an exact copy of the incomplete Text of Festival disc. So, either they made a mistake and printed the Masters disc twice, or it's from France. The cover does say three discs; the back track lists the four mentioned above. Go figure. Still you end up with Bring Me the Head of Yuri Gagoran (bootleg quality), a true copy of Space Ritual 2, and this incomplete Text of Festival. (See others' reviews of these seperately.) I feel cheated on this one. The only worse Hawkwind buy is Codename Hawkwind-2000 a similar butchering of original official(?) bootleg versions. Even (if not especially) Hawkwind fans should stay away from this one."

Incredible bang for the buck

"Hawkwind has such a huge inventory of music that it is hard to separate the good from the bad. And the bad is VERY bad. This is good. As a live music collector (bootlegs and all), I've been looking for live Hawkwind that truly shows what they can do. Of course, the catalog release "Space Ritual" sets a very high standard, but live albums put together from various performances don't give a true representation of a live concert, warts and all. This set fulfills both of my interests. Each disc comes from a single show, and each captures a different flavor of the band's music, with one exception. I'm surprised that none of the previous reviewers noticed that disc 1 and disc 4 are the same tape, only the 4th disc keeps going when the 1st one fades out. This collection captures the earliest version of this band, and I think this is the strongest lineup. Sound quality is not fabulous, but it is better than most bootlegs. For all who are interested in what this group can do on stage, I suggest you buy this and "Space Ritual". Keep in mind that this set is available as two titles, and one is about $5.00 cheaper. They are EXACTLY the same, so buy this version and save a few bucks, while enjoying what Hawkwind can do live. If the quality was better, I'd give it another star, but it's still an incredible bargain."
