In light of a number of conversations I've had recently, it would seem that a disconcerting number of music fans have only listened to Hawkwind's earliest material. Y'all need to wake up, cause they've stayed putting out great albums this whole time, including this synth-soaked gem from '81. Sonic Attack has a driving, sharp feel that subtly hints at punk and new wave while staying the course of massive, world-shaking space rock.
Track listing:
1. Sonic Attack
2. Rocky Paths
3. Psychosonia
4. Virgin of the World
5. Angels of Death
6. Living on a Knife Edge
7. Coded Languages
8. Disintegration
9. Streets of Fear
10. Lost Chances
Dangerous visions

I'm always on the lookout for Hawkwind albums as great as that 'earliest material'. Have to give this one a try. Many thanks.
