The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

Polydor 833 736-2. 1991


I saw Hawkwind a few years ago (I know, I know - but it was free and I wasn't doing anything else). They were ok-ish, and did Silver machine as an encore. 'Canny', thought I, as it's one of the few Hawkwind tracks I know. Then this gangly wanker appears on stage, prancing around and ruining it with his theatrical warblings. Prick.

This is almost completely rubbish. Hammonds coming at you from all angles and his god-awful voice piercing the soul (in a bad way). Even Fire sucks once you get past the chorus bit that everyone know.

He even sounds like Tom Jones (he's up there with James Brown in my eyes, travesty that he is) on I've got money.

Get this shite away from me.
