    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...

    Ep 24: It Is The Business Of The Future To Be Dangerous

    Fresh from our sojourn to the present to react to the release of the latest album "Stories From Time And Space", Hawkbinge returns to the 1990's to get back to the canon album deep-dives with "It Is The Business Of The Future To Be Dangerous" from 1993. As ever, we look at the music scene of 1993, (warning:  some of the biggest tunes of the year are absolute shockers), look at the state of the band, check out the cover artwork and, of course, we chat about what's been on our turntables recently in between huge numbers of repeat listens to IITBOTFTBD, and you'll find those tracks on the forthcoming Hawkbinge Sessions Playlist Vol 6 on Spotify. And finally, a special announcement which will hopefully make some listeners happy, and a large number of bees truly ecstatic...

    Ep 23: Stories From Time And Space, Back To The Nexus

    The Hawkbinge Release Day Reaction Pod crew assembles to give the hottest of red-hot hot-takes on the latest from the Hawks, "Stories From Time And Space", which dropped today! A journey in time for us for sure, from 1992 where Hawkbinge was last seen - it's good to give the DeLorean another run out. Please note: Andy, Matt and Joe have managed to give the album a couple of listens, jumped on a Zoom call and then handed over to Matt to madly edit this together so we can drop it on the day, 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 22: Electric Tepee

    The Hawkbinge voyage through the 90's continues with the epic "Electric Tepee". An album almost as long as the podcast that covers it, this one features Hawkwind's biggest step into techno and electronics yet. It's a marathon, not a sprint... As ever, we delve into the big releases of 1992 featuring the big chart hits of the year so we can see what musical environment Electric Tepee was launched into, check out the state the band at the time, and check out the album artwork. Matt will also select his picks for the Hawkbinge Master Playlist on Spotify, and add our turntable picks to what will end up being Vol 6 of the Hawkbinge Sessions Playlist, the first 5 of which you can find here: 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 Master playlist, also on Spotify.
