6396/97. Hawkwind - Space is Deep/One Change
 |
| From: Doremi Fasol Latido; Year: 1972; Genre: Space Rock/Progressive Rock |
Felt the urge to choose one from this album, which, from wot I understand, it and the songs are a reference to The Sound of the Spheres as well as the diatonic scale. With these two pieces of music being the second and third tracks would make them, I guess, the Sun (Re) and Mercury (Mi). With One Change being a very brief track it could make some sense.
Anyway, Space is Deep reminds me a lot of the psychedelic folk or rather space folk that was present from a few groups from around the time with the Queen song 39 coming to mind. Only in the middle section does the full band come in with the first half of the song or so being acoustic 12 string guitar, vocals, and odd synthesizers/noises. Lyrically it is based on Michael Moorcock's The Black Corridor, which adds to the spaciness.
As earlier stated, One Change is a short song, or as I called them many years ago: "songitesimals," I thought it would be good to choose them both today. It is an instrumental electronic keyboard piece by Del Dettmar with a lot of echo on it, which gives it a surreal, sedate feel.
