Dreamworkers Of Time The BBC Recordings 1985-1995 Coffret

Description

The three-CD box set 'Dreamworkers of Time - The BBC Recordings 1985-1995' features all the recordings and live sessions of Hawkwind made by the BBC between 1985 and 1995.
One of the most legendary British bands that emerged in the early 1970s. Formed in Notting Hill, London in 1969 and still led by their visionary leader Dave Brock, Hawkwind bridged the genres of psychedelic rock, hard rock, and art rock to create their own sound.
Throughout their long career, the band recorded a number of sessions for the BBC; in August 1985, they recorded their first studio session for the Friday Rock Show on BBC Radio One (their first session since 1972). The session featured a lineup of Brock (vocals, guitar, synthesizer), Huw Lloyd Langton (lead guitar, vocals), Harvey Bainbridge (keyboards, vocals), Alan Davey (bass, vocals), and Danny Thompson (drums). The following year, Hawkwind headlined the Reading Festival and 60 minutes of highlights from their powerful set were recorded by the BBC and broadcast on the Friday Rock Show.
In May 88, a concert at the Hammersmith Odeon (part of the promotional tour for the album 'The Xenon Codex') was recorded for In Concert by the BBC and saw the band in fine form once again.
In July 1995, Hawkwind returned to the BBC studios at Maida Vale in London to record a session for The Mark Radcliffe Show, this time with a lineup of Brock (vocals, guitar, synthesizer), Davey (bass, vocals, synthesizer), Ron Tree (vocals), and Richard Chadwick (drums). This 3-CD set includes all these recordings and live sessions, newly remastered, with the 1988 In Concert performance and the Maida Vale studio sessions from 1985 and 1995 appearing on CD for the first time, making 'Dreamworkers of Time - The BBC Recordings 1985-1995' an essential release.
