From: Somnia; Year: 2021; Genre: Progressive Rock/Space Rock
New Hawkwind! I had the great fortune of being able to sample the band's most recent album the other day, and this song's name in particular caught my attention. I'm not sure about as to which Alcyone they are referring to. For me though I immediately recognized it as the name of the brightest star in the Pleiades cluster found in the constellation Taurus. Funny enough, you might recognize the Japanese name for the cluster as well, Subaru, from which a major car company derived its name. 
Anyway, this song has a mellow acoustic sound to it with added synthesizers for a nice added colour to the track.
