This Was Your Future: Space Rock (And Other Psychedelics) 1978-1998

EXTENSIVE SET EXPLORING THE SPACE ROCK AND FREE FESTIVAL SCENE, 1978-1998. COMPILED WITH THE LEGENDARY DAVE BROCK , FRONTMAN OF HAWKWIND , FIGUREHEAD OF THE SCENE AND INSPIRATION FOR COUNTELESS LIKE-MINDED HEADS. FEATURING KEY NAMES – HAWKWIND (AND THEIR MANY OFFSHOOTS), OZRIC TENTACLES, HERE AND NOW, MAGIC MUSHROOM BAND, POISONED ELECTRICK HEAD, MICHAEL MOORCOCK, ROBERT CALVERT, TIM BLAKE , PLUS MANY LESSER-KNOWN BUT VITAL PLAYERS IN A MOVEMENT THAT WAS AS MUCH A WAY OF LIFE AND A POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AS IT WAS A MUSIC SCENE. 40 TRACKS, EACH OF THEM EXPLORING THE OUTER LIMITS OF MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT. SLEEVENOTES BY IAN ABRAHAMS , AUTHOR OF HAWKWIND: SONIC ASSASINS AND FESTIVALIZED – MUSIC, POLITICS AND ALTERNATIVE CULTURE. Emerging out of the post-hippy fall-out of the late 1960s, Dave Brock and Hawkwind forged a new, psychedelic rock sound which, as the 1970s progressed, became the focal point of a festival scene that drew together countless alternative and counter-cultural artists, all of whom sought to take their listeners into previously unchartered realms of inner space. Gathered together here are the prime movers in this Brock-inspired scene which subsequently emerged and found focus towards the end of ‘70s, centred on free festivals, like-minded record labels, self-released cassettes and an anti-authoritarian lifestyle and political position. From hard rocking psychedelic warriors to experimental sonic architects, ‘This Was Your Future’ captures a time and place in danger of being forgotten in the corporate playground of the present. A place where the guitar and the synthesiser proved mightier than the sword, offering an outlet for expression to countless artists for whom mainstream culture was a strange and alien landscape.
