Extensive set exploring the space rock and free festival scene, 1978-1998. Compiled with the legendary Dave Brock, frontman of Hawkwind, figurehead of the scene and inspiration for counteless like-minded heads.

Featuring key names – Hawkwind (and their many offshoots), Ozric Tentacles, Here And Now, Magic Mushroom Band, Poisoned Electrick Head, Michael Moorcock, Robert Calvert, Tim Blake, Etc. plus many lesser-known but vital players in a movement that was as much a way of life and a political philosophy as it was a music scene.

Emerging out of the post-hippy fall-out of the late 1960s, Dave Brock and Hawkwind forged a new, psychedelic rock sound which, as the 1970s progressed, became the focal point of a festival scene that drew together countless alternative and counter-cultural artists, all of whom sought to take their listeners into previously unchartered realms of inner space.

Gathered together here are the prime movers in this Brock-inspired scene which subsequently emerged and found focus towards the end of ‘70s, centred on free festivals, like-minded record labels, self-released cassettes and an anti-authoritarian lifestyle and political position.

From hard rocking psychedelic warriors to experimental sonic architects, ‘This Was Your Future’ captures a time and place in danger of being forgotten in the corporate playground of the present. A place where the guitar and the synthesiser proved mightier than the sword, offering an outlet for expression to countless artists for whom mainstream culture was a strange and alien landscape.
