Hawkwind

In the lead-up to the live performance captured in "Assassins Of Allah" at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1994, Hawkwind had just released their studio album "Warrior on the Edge of Time" in 1975, marking a significant period in their early career that solidified their space rock identity. However, at the time of the live recording, they were in a transitional phase, blending their classic sound with more modern elements, following their 1994 album "Palace Springs." This live performance is emblematic of Hawkwind's enduring nature, showcasing their ability to captivate audiences with improvisational space rock and theatrical elements. Interestingly, Hawkwind's music incorporates themes of science fiction and philosophy, and their live shows often feature elaborate light displays and multimedia effects, underscoring their position as pioneers in the genre and contributing to their cult following in rock music history.
