Warrior On The Edge Of Time, Hawkwind’s seminal fantasy epic from 1975 has been called “a genuine Hawkwind classic,” band longstanding band leader Dave Brock, who adds, “there’s some really great stuff on it.” The album celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, so Hawkwind biographer and Prog writer Joe Banks spoke to members of the band about how they made the album, under trying circumstances, it appears. Of course, Hawkwind being Hawkwind, they also have a brand-new studio album out. There Is No Space For Us continues the band’s rich vein of form and we talk to the current line-up about that, too.
