Ep 24: It Is The Business Of The Future To Be Dangerous

6/13/2024
Fresh from our sojourn to the present to react to the release of the latest album "Stories From Time And Space", Hawkbinge returns to the 1990's to get back to the canon album deep-dives with "It Is The Business Of The Future To Be Dangerous" from 1993. As ever, we look at the music scene of 1993, (warning: some of the biggest tunes of the year are absolute shockers), look at the state of the band, check out the cover artwork and, of course, we chat about what's been on our turntables recently in between huge numbers of repeat listens to IITBOTFTBD, and you'll find those tracks on the forthcoming Hawkbinge Sessions Playlist Vol 6 on Spotify. And finally, a special announcement which will hopefully make some listeners happy, and a large number of bees truly ecstatic...

Ep 23: Stories From Time And Space, Back To The Nexus

4/5/2024
The Hawkbinge Release Day Reaction Pod crew assembles to give the hottest of red-hot hot-takes on the latest from the Hawks, "Stories From Time And Space", which dropped today! A journey in time for us for sure, from 1992 where Hawkbinge was last seen - it's good to give the DeLorean another run out. Please note: Andy, Matt and Joe have managed to give the album a couple of listens, jumped on a Zoom call and then handed over to Matt to madly edit this together so we can drop it on the day, so it may sound a little rougher than usual. Also remember that this is a pretty instant reaction, not a deep-dive, and it will be very interesting to see how we come back to this when we reach the last few episodes of the canon studio album deep-dive episodes.

Ep 22: Electric Tepee

2/27/2024
The Hawkbinge voyage through the 90's continues with the epic "Electric Tepee". An album almost as long as the podcast that covers it, this one features Hawkwind's biggest step into techno and electronics yet. It's a marathon, not a sprint... As ever, we delve into the big releases of 1992 featuring the big chart hits of the year so we can see what musical environment Electric Tepee was launched into, check out the state the band at the time, and check out the album artwork.

Ep 19: End of Season Special - The 80's

9/26/2023
HAWKWIND: THE THATCHER YEARS Hawkbinge is back from the dark recesses of our completely unplanned hiatus! And we're casting an eye over 80's Hawkwind to round off season 2 and get our PDA's, pogs and pagers at the ready for season 3 and the 1990's... However, We couldn't face this daunting task on our own, and so we enlisted the help of an amazingly special guest to talk 80's Hawkwind with us: a man who was there, lived it, breathed it, and documented most of it with his camera - yes, it's all-round renaissance man Oz Hardwick himself - renowned Hawkwind photographer, published poet, Professor of Creative Writing at Leeds Trinity, musician (with an album of space rock out now, no less) and writer. And we get into all of that, because it's fascinating, and then blaze a trail randomly through Hawkwind's 80's releases before choosing some of our favourite orphan tracks that never made it onto those albums, but maybe should have...

Ep 17: The Xenon Codex

4/14/2023
And so, with the `Chronicle of the Black Sword finally concluded, Hawkwind end the 1980's with The Xenon Codex, and so Hawkbinge brings the curtain crashing down on season 2 with a deep dive into this enigmatic little gem. As ever, we look at the music landscape of 1988 (Rick Astley "Never Gonna Give You Up" best single at the '88 Brit Awards... yes, that's where we are). We also have a rather special piece of cover art to dive into, and a tour programme from that "mad professor's laboratory" tour that followed. Also, we bring the 80's to an end by publishing vol.5 of the Hawkbinge Sessions Playlist on Spotify (links below), including Matt's and Andy's turntable picks from this very episode. Enjoy.

Ep 16: Live Chronicles

3/5/2023
A "Live Chronicles" bonus special episode, with a very special guest... You can't really talk about "Chronicle of the Black Sword" without talking about "Live Chronicles", the live record of the tour that brought all of Hawkwind's Moorcock-inspired furore to the stage, with dancers, sword fights, readings (occasionally from the man himself), and more sword fights. One of the best tours ever? Hawkwind's 'Spinal Tap' moment? Bit of both? You decide... We are duly honoured to spend a couple of hours in the company of none other than Mr Ian Abrahams, of "Sonic Assassins" book fame, to chat about a tour both he and Andy saw for reals. We get the sounds, the sights, and the smells of a fantasy/space rock band on the road. But enough o' my yackin', let's rock...

The Church of Hawkbinge opens it's doors once again, and everyone is welcome! Yes, the oddity that is Church of Hawkwind in the focus this time. Regardless of whether one considers it "Hawkwind canon" or not, (Wikipedia says it is, and that's good enough for Hawkbinge), it's a key moment in Hawk history and a really fascinating album to deep dive into. In this episode Andy & Matt start by recapping the global sensation that was the Hawkbinge Sonic Attack Ultimate Death Match Tournament in the company of a very special guest, and then look at the big releases of 1982 and the state of play following the release of Sonic Attack that leads to this album being made, as well as checking out not just the album artwork but also the booklet that accompanied it. And, as ever, Matt gives his considered take on this rather interesting experiment from Dave and the band. Oh, and the 40 year old mystery of "Tim" is finally solved...

12/29/2021
The Hawkbinge NEW YEAR SPECIAL episode! We're at the end of 2021 and we find Hawkwind at the end of Calvert's tenure, the end o f their Charisma contract, at the end of the 1970's and possibly at the end of the band. What better time to take stock of the state of play both with Hawkwind, but also with Matt, who has been taking this first-time journey through the weird world of Hawkwind experiencing 9 studio albums and multiple changes along the way. What does he make of it all? And, if we're going to be chatting about the 1970's, who better to ask along for the ride than the man who quite literally wrote the book on Hawkwind in the 70's, Mr Joe Banks himself. Along with our very special guest we choose some favourite tracks not released on those studio albums, debate Matt's most dissed tracks from season 1 and, as a prelude to season 2, we get into a bit of "Live 79" alongside chats about Joe's magnificent book and the beautiful chaos that it is Hawkwind in the 1970's. Thank you for coming on this journey with us, see you again for season 2... HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Ep 9: PXR5

"This is the last but one" So reads the cryptic message on the back of PXR5, the final Hawkwind studio release of the 1970's, the final release with Robert Calvert and the final release on the Charisma label. It's also the final release of season 1 of Hawkbinge but not the final Hawkbinge release of year - watch this space... In this episode Matt & Andy explore the music of 1978, the somewhat nebulous status of the band at this point, choose tracks for the Sessions and Master Playlists on Spotify, offer up some track selections of their own with their turntable picks and, above all, attempt to resist the temptation to use that album cover as a guide for wiring their houses, This episode also marks the release of volume 3 of the Hawkbinge Sessions playlist on Spotify, including such bands as Mythic Sunship, Steve Hackett, Killing Joke, Lee 'Scratch Perry, Jan Hammer and The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble alongside Matt's favourite Hawkwind picks from Quark, Hawklords and PXR5.

Ep 8: Hawklords, 25 Years On

11/6/2021
Hawkbinge: Reality you can rely on. Yes, Hawkbinge is back! Or is it Bingelords? If so, why? And what will it be next time? All these things and more in this episode as Matt & Andy explore this album released during a most confusing period of Hawkwind history. On top of the music and art, a global super organisation bent on a new world order is revealed to the world as we dig in to the fabulous story of Pan Transcendental Industries. As ever, we take a look at the music of 1978, that striking cover art and see if we can rationalise exactly why this whole thing came about. As a rule, Hawkbinge is 'music' rather than 'band history' but in this case it's a story that cannot be ignored. Also, the Hawkbinge Sessions and Hawkbinge Master playlists on Spotify are augmented by the music Andy & Matt have been listening to, and Matt's picks from "25 Years On". Or "Hawklords". Or whatever else they might be calling it these days.
