Cherry Red Records release the new album by the legendary Hawkwind, 'The Machine Stops'. A concept studio album and a live stage show, 'The Machine Stops' is based on E.M. Forster's Sci-fi classic. His dystopian vision of the future is brought to life with characteristic Hawkwind style. An atmospheric, musical interpretation beginning in tunnels deep beneath the earth, where every need is controlled and catered for by the machine. The struggle to escape and find a way to reach the outer surface is a utopian dream, which could prove to be the most deadly dream of all. Forster's visionary masterpiece provides a chilling warning of the dangers of isolation, reliance on computer technology and the effects upon society.2LP - 180g Vinyl Version - LP plays at 33 1/3 rpm and 12" plays at 45rpm.
