Hawkwind: Road to Utopia 2018

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.""
