The Hawkwind Triad - The Hawkwind Triad (2010)

cover

Providing a solid tribute to British space rockers Hawkwind we have Havestman, US Christmas, and Minsk. Released on Neurot Recordings, The Hawkwind triad do an excellent job in capturing the classical atmosphere created by Hawkwind while adding the uniqueness of each band into the mix, and fully respecting the original songs.

One of the things we find the most interesting is that the tracks that each band performed are mixed together through the album, and it still flows like it was only one band making the tribute. Something very unique and refreshing, since tributes usually consist of several bands playing one or a few tracks and there is most of the time a huge quality gap between bands.

The entire psychedelic, spaced out elements of Hawkwind are brilliantly redone by the three bands keeping the timelessness of Hawkwind’s sound and pairing it with each band’s idiosyncrasies for a boosted end result that will surely please all fans of everybody involved in this release.

Out of all the terrible tribute albums we have listened in the past, we find “The Hawkwind Triad” to be one of the best and most fitting. The 3 bands clearly show that they can respect the original songs while giving them their own edge, and still come out on top.  

If you are either a fan of Hawkwind, Minsk, Harvestman or US Christmas you will definitely enjoy this release. If you are looking for something spaced out that will transport you into a different dimension, and it wont leave you deaf, check this album out, it will be money well spent.
