Hawkwind - Road To Utopia

Lisätietoa:

 For their 31st studio album, Hawkwind have collaborated with songwriter and conductor Mike Batt to recreate a selection of Hawkwind songs with an extra, orchestral ingredient.  Hawkwind invited Mike to help create arrangements for some of their most celebrated songs performed by the current line-up of Dave Brock, Richard Chadwick, Mr Dibs, Haz Wheaton and Magnus Martin.  Tracks such as ‘Quark, Strangeness and Charm’, ‘We Took The Wrong Step Years Ago’ and ‘Psychic Power’ are re-rooted acoustically, then embellished with a strength and majesty only Hawkwind can produce.  ‘The Watcher’ features trademark guitar licks from very special guest Eric Clapton.  Dave Brock says: “Reinventing these familiar songs has been an interesting experience... we hope you like them.”  Road To Utopia will be previewed in August by a two-track digital single coupling ‘Quark, Strangeness And Charm’ and ‘The Watcher’, which will be promoted to radio and to streaming platforms.  The band will be touring with Mike in October and November, including sold-out dates at the Palladium in London.
