Hawkwind - Images (1990) [Space Rock]
I'm likely not alone in thinking Hawkwind are fairly underrated, but I'm particularly fond of their album Space Bandits, which came out at the dawn of the 90's and marked the debut of frontwoman Bridget Wishart. She brings a different, altogether more experimental and acidic character to the band's blend of prog, post-punk and metal, as shown in the propulsive opening suite Images here. It features spazzed out, free-jazz styled violin soloing courtesy of Simon House...and somehow it works in the context of the song. Marvelous.
