Review Summary: Hawkwind does as Hawkwind pleases. Hawkwind – A trip through space, Part XVI – Hawkwind, now four decades strong When Hawkwind released Blood of the Earth in 2010, the band had been operating for over forty years. When a band gets to that stage in their career, it is much harder for them to release albums with the intensity they had in their youth. In addition, Hawkwind had only released two albums in the past ten years. What if the tank had run dry since the last millennium' With Blood of the Earth, Hawkwind prove to us that the tank is in fact not dry, but has been fully refuelled, albeit with a different type of fuel than before. Hawkwind appeared aged, matured like a cask of whiskey that has been forgotten about in the basement of an eccentric millionaire. When the album opens up with 'Seahawks' you can see that Hawkwind have changed dramatically, if not for reasons instantly obvious. On this album, Hawkwind are: Dave Brock – guitar, keyboards, vocals Niall Hone – guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, sampling Mr. Dibs – bass guitar, vocals Tim Blake – keyboards Richard Chadwick – drums, vocals Matthew Wright, vocals on 'Blood of the Earth' Jason Stuart, Keyboards on 'Starshine' Long time Hawkwind member Alan Davey is gone, being replaced by Niall Hone. Also joining is ex-Gong member Tim Blake and finally Mr. Dibs, who fills the role of Hawkwind's front man.
