I've dug Hawkwind well enough for a while now, but they're proving to be perfect studying music: immediate enough to engage the back of my mind, but "ambient" enough to allow the front of my brain to concentrate on other things. Don't know if other prog would work as well, but will give Rush a try a bit later.
Warriors on the Edge of Time is also becoming my fav Hawkwind album: heavy enough to satisfy my inner headbanger, but weird and spacey enough to sound delightfully alien. It sounds like what a genre called "space rock" should sound like. Hall of the Mountain Grill is a close second, but it doesn't quite have that all-consuming atmosphere. I hear Lemmy say that he wasn't as satisfied with this as previous albums, but I have to disagree with the Kilmeister on this one. (If "Kilmeister" isn't a thing, then it should be.)
