If you like Gong, Hawkwind, Hillage, Ozrics ...

[MichaelC]

I will nominate:

Hidria Spacefolk.

Who would you nominate?

 

[Tony L]

Liverpool’s finest Kraut/space-rock band Mugstar for a start:

There’s actually a fair amount of this sort of stuff about at present e.g. Korb, Smote etc.

Here’s some Smote.

Yes, it's never been a better time to be into this sort of thing -not enough hours in the day if anything. Check Fruits de Mer and Sulatron labels just for starters especially the Head music series from the former.

 

[foxwelljsly]

'At the Mountains of Madness' by John Zorn's Electric Masada. Definitely one for Gong and Hillage fans, if quite a bit wilder, and one of the most mind blowing slabs of instrumental music I've ever heard.

Anything by Acid Mothers Temple

 

[Tony L]

If we are going that far out then how about some Circle too:

 

[Seeker_UK]

There used to be an artist on youtube called "Lonehawk" (I think) that did some great space rock. Can't seem to find any now.

 

[Seeker_UK]

For the older stuff:

Underground Zero

Here and Now (obviously)

Amon Duul II

 

[Tony L]

I’ve just stuck my only Acid Mothers Temple album, Absolutely Freak Out (original black & red vinyl issue), and it is just as face-meltingly bonkers as I remember. Possibly more Metal Machine Music than Hawkwind, but that’s cool too. A healthy racket.

PS If we are venturing into classic Düül II territory then Yeti and Phallus Dei would be my picks.

 

[MichaelC]

And for consideration today: Oresund Space Collective

 

[VanDerGraaf]

This is great; I love the fact that there appears to be a resurgance of this stuff- exactly what's needed in these conformist/consensus times!
Thanks for the recommendations.

I have indeed. I am quite partial to Sendelica.

There will be more...

A couple of classics there but I haven’t come across Underground Zero before. I rather liked that. A quick look out there suggests only a couple of releases.

I love Korai Orom from Hungary.

They appeared on the third "Friends and Relations" compilation, which is where I heard of them.

Acid Mother's Gong at The Spitz remains one of my best gigs ever.

Their output covers such a wide range of stuff, some is bang on in the Gong / Hawkwind / Duul spacerock vein (especially the "Crystal Rainbow Pyramid" track)

 

[Frizzy]

For me it’s ‘Godspeed you black emperor’ and others from that mad Canadian commune/collective. Lost track of their various iterations.

And for consideration today: Oresund Space Collective

I am currently listening to the It's All About Delay 4LP. Was supposed to see them play in Liverpool this Spring. Hopefully they will play next year.
