    Ep 32: Psychedelic Selection, The Nexus Strikes Back

    Reaction Pod Crew - assemble!  We get back into the DeLorean and return to the present day, stopping only to pick up Mr Joe Banks on the way, so that we give our hottest of hot-takes on “Psychedelic Selection”: the new release from the mighty Hawks! You will join us after we’ve played the album only a couple of times and done some rapid note-taking on Friday morning, and I’m sure thoughts around these tracks will be evolving as we keep playing this one in the coming days. This is a pod we will no doubt revisit when we come to deep-dive “Psychedelic Selection” at the end of the canon studio album run. But don’t hold your breath, that’s a little way off yet 😃 While you’re here, there’s a new t-shirt for season 4… The boutique Hawkbinge t-shirt collection from Skull Print is here All Hawkbinge proceeds will be donated to The British Bee Charity 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 HAWKBINGE PLAYLISTS  Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.1 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.2 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.3 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.4 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.5 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.6 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.7 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Master playlist, also on Spotify.

    Ep 31: Spacebrock

    A new season, a new decade, a new millenium - yes, Y2K is here, and Hawkbinge returns to deep-dive into Spacebrock - one of those odd ones that might be a canon Hawkwind studio album, and might not. However, Wikipedia says it is, and so here we are. Not an familiar album to Andy, let alone Matt, so join us on a journey to remember... 2000 turned out to be a year of massive album releases, so we take a look at the musical world into which this piece of Hawkwind was launched, chat about the other records we've been spinning in between plays of Spacebrock, check out the artwork (!!!) and generally get season 4 of Hawkbinge up and running.

    Ep 30: End of Season Special - The 90's

    GOODBYE SEASON THREE! Our time in the 1990’s comes to an end, and we wrap up the decade in the company for the one-and-only Mr Ian Abrahams, esteemed author of “Hawkwind: Sonic Assassins”, which has been such a huge resource for us on our Hawkbinge journey. We have a fun, sprawling chat about all things Hawkwind in the 90’s and each select our favourite ‘orphan tracks’ from the decade: those songs (or versions of songs) that didn’t make it onto a studio album. We then get deep in the most excellent things Ian has been up to since last we spoke, including his writing for the Hawkwind edition of Record Collector last year, and his help with the marvellous book by Marion Lloyd-Langton about Huw’s life, and her life with him. We heartily recommend seeking that one out. We also unveiled the lucky winner of the competition set on the last episode, and if that’s you then expect to hear from us very soon! Many thanks to Ian, always great to chat Hawkwind with him :) The boutique Hawkbinge t-shirt collection from Skull Print is here All Hawkbinge proceeds will be donated to The British Bee Charity 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝  Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.1 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.2 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.3 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.4 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.5 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.6 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Sessions Vol.7 playlist on Spotify Click here for the Hawkbinge Master playlist, also on Spotify.

    Ep 29: In Your Area + The Second Golden Age of Hawkwind

    Hawkbinge returns (!) with “In Your Area”, the final entry of the 90’s and a curious release which is one side live and one side studio. The live side recorded at the end of the ’97 tour, and the studio side being comprised of efforts laid down the following year. Is it a canon studio album? Andy would say no, but Wikipedia says yes, and so here we go… So that’s one side of studio recordings which Matt gives his take on and Andy gives his insights into, as ever. But what about the live side? Welcome to Hawkbinge Mr Paul Garbutt, author of two excellent Hawkwind books “The Second Golden Age of Hawkwind: The Eleventh Second of Forever” and “The Twelfth Second of Forever: 2023-2025” Paul actually saw the line-up on this tour and joins Matt & Andy to chat “In Your Area” and his wonderful books. Along with all that, Matt and Andy check out the artwork, look at the musical world of 1999 and chat about the other music they've been listening to in the many months since the previous episode. And say hello to vol.7 of the Hawkbinge Sessions playlists on Spotify!

    Ep 28: There Is No Space For Us, The Nexus Returns

    Reaction Pod Crew - to the DeLorean! Andy & Matt race back to the present from 1997 and pick up Joe along the way so that they can give their combined initial reactions to this latest Hawkwind release.  NOTE: Andy, Matt and Joe have managed to give the album several listens before jumping on a Zoom call very early the day after the album dropped and then handed over to Matt to madly edit this together so we can drop it as soon as possible, so it may sound a little rougher than usual. Also remember that this is a pretty instant reaction, not a deep-dive, and it will be very interesting to see how we come back to this when we reach the last few episodes of the canon studio album deep-dive episodes.

    Ep 27: Distant Horizons

    The Hawkbinge journey through Hawkwind releases from the 90's continues with 1997'a Distant Horizons, an album about which almost nothing good is ever said. Fans don't like it, the buying public of 1997 didn't like it, reviewers don't like it, even the band themselves beat this one up with pretty much every reference.  Will Matt & Andy find any rays of light in the darkness? Find out, as Matt gives his take on an album he'd never heard of before late last year, and Andy gives his insights into the album that he completely failed to connect with when he first heard it about 15 years ago. Grab your sandwich of steel and your thermos of oil for two hours of Distant Horizons chat... Along with all that, Matt and Andy check out the artwork, look at the musical world of 1997 and chat about the other music they've been listening to since the release of the Alien 4 episode. And Matt puts his picks from Distant Horizons alongside these tracks into a Hawkbinge Sessions playlist for future release.

    Ep 26: Alien 4 + Sideways Through Time

    HAWKBINGE RETURNS with a monster of an episode: so much Hawkwind news to catch up, the big release from 1995 to dissect and the big bonus of a chat with our good friend Joe Banks about his most excellent new Hawkwind book “Sideways Through Time”. Prepare to abducted by the Hawkbinge podcast and not returned to reality for several hours… So, we’re still in 1995 for Hawkwind’s second release of that year, “Alien 4”. Some new faces in the mix for an album based largely around the concept of alien abduction. We check out the first appearances for both Ron Tree and Jerry Richards, deep dive into  this maybe-kinda-concept album, ponder who the aliens really are and finish up with some Space Sex. No, really.   As ever, we also look back at the music scene in the latter part of 1995, check out the state of the band at the time and explore the album art, while also adding tracks to the forthcoming Hawkbinge Sessions Vol 7 playlist on Spotify from albums we've been listening to in between our respective alien abductions. And finally… a visit to the pod from Joe for a chat about his new book provides a most excellent way to kick off our 2025 episodes.

    Ep 25: White Zone

    The White Zone is for loading and unloading only... Welcome to 1995 and the first, and only, episode of Binge Warriors as we deep dive into singular album by Hawkwind under that particular moniker. And what an intriguing deep dive it is too, this being something of a forgotten item, glossed over by most of the media in the history of the band. As ever, we check out the music and artwork from this quirky little release, while also adding tracks to the forthcoming Hawkbinge Sessions Vol 6 playlist on Spotify from albums we've been listning to in between visits to the White Zone...
