Accolades for Hall of the Mountain Grill
Hall of the Mountain Grill is one of my favourite Hawkwind albums after Space Ritual and Doremi Fasol Latido. In my book it beats In Search of Space by a whisker. It certainly shows off their talent for "getting you high on music". It takes you up with "Psychedelic Warlords..." and "You'd Better Believe it" and then brings it down to a mellower pace with "Web Weaver" and "Goat Willow". Some cool writing and performing.
If space rawk is what you crave, you will not be disappointed. Lemmy's punchy bass lines are up front and really get things movin'. Live and studio tracks flow together into a seamless whole with lots of psychedelic peaks and reflective valleys.
With Hall of the Mountain Grill Hawkwind began to descend from the hard Sabbath with synths peaks of Doremi... and Space Ritual to the more symphonic/electronic territories that they still explore today.
