Hawkwind: Coventry Theatre, Coventry
Chas de Whalley, Sounds, 25 December 1976
IT'S LIKE trying to resurrect the agonies and ecstasies of the Lysergic communion, putting Hawkwind's Robert Calvert on paper, spinning a yarn from the scattered strands of sensation and then knitting it all into some kind of shape that isn't at best hunchbacked...it's a difficult task, mon ami.
