The Verve Spacerock WTF?

I had forgotten how much I loved Hawkwind. I had not played them for many many a long year thanks to a disappearing vinyl collection. I D/led Epocheclipse 30 Year Anthology and have been having a listen. Well that is it! I am off to grab some of the main discography this weekend. Sonic Attack was the catalyst. How can anyone not like
"If you are making love it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously.
Do not waste time blocking your ears.
Do not waste time seeking a "sound proofed" shelter.
Try to get as far away from the sonic source as possible
Do not panic
Do not panic"

And yeah I would go Hawkwind over The Verve. Naked dancing girls will do it for me every time:D.

Assault and Battery on the human anatomy Assault and Battery on the human anatomy :hphones:

who are they?can you give me details or samples of their songs?

What a great track. Brilliant album too.

5. They`re better than every single stoner rock band ever

3: There 2 Disc Space Ritual Live Album is ****ing incredible. There is not one second that doesn't belong.

5: Thats a bit of a stretch, there definitely up there though. And space rock is different than stoner rock to begin with. Space rock includes more elements of ambient music, and generally slower tempo's.

My only question is which albums to check out next. I have Space Ritual 1 and 2, Self Titled, Doremi Fasol Latido, and In Search Of Space. There discography is so big I dont know what to go to next. ( Preferably a studio album)

I'll second Jackhammer's nomination of Astounding Music, Amazing Sounds.

And i'll add one of my own to Hall Of The Mountain Grill

I shall check those out tonight. I am amazed I had not heard this band before this week. I love them.

I'm fairly new to them myself but Hall of the Mountain Grill is a pretty fantastic album.
