Cherry Red label managed by Esoteric Recordings and established in 2008 as the home of the recorded work of the [a69719] between 1976-1997 and of solo projects by various band members, reissuing remastered versions of previously out-of-print releases from that time, many including bonus material.

Formed in 1969, Hawkwind are a prolific and pioneering space-rock group from the UK. Known for their science fiction themed music and theatrical concerts, they gained fame for their exhibitions of pulsing electronics, dazzling light shows, and LSD consumption. Founder member Dave Brock has been the sole mainstay of the band since its inception, steering them through various musical genres including heavy metal, new wave, ambient and techno. Notable contributors have included Lemmy (of Motörhead), Ginger Baker (of Cream) and science fiction writer Michael Moorcock.
Hawkwind quickly made a name for themselves on the free festival circuit after forming in 1969. They would perform live without fee wherever possible.
Their 1971 album 'In Search of Space' solidified Hawkwind's reputation as pioneers of space-rock music. The album showcased their unique blend of science fiction themes with psychedelic rock sounds.

A deluxe set gathering tracks of musical highlights of over 50 years of the legendary Hawkwind. The first ever compilation to gather together all eras of the band’s history. Includes an illustrated booklet with new essay and exclusive interview with Dave Brock

Hawkwind are one of the most legendary British bands who emerged at the dawn of 1970s. Formed in the Notting Hill area of London in 1969 and always helmed by their visionary leader Dave Brock, Hawkwind truly bridged the genres of psychedelic rock, hard rock and art rock to create a sound of their own.

Signing to Liberty / United Artists in 1970, Hawkwind’s formative years saw them form their own brand of so-called Space Rock over a series of classic albums such as X In Search Of Space, Doremi Fasol Latido, Space Ritual and Hall Of The Mountain Grill, with a series of ever changing line-ups. Their 1972 hit single ‘Silver Machine’ and imaginative stage shows firmly established them in the consciousness of rock audiences. 1975’s Warrior On The Edge Of Time marked the closure of one era of the band and saw Hawkwind progress in the latter half of the ‘70s to a more streamlined, art rock approach, with vocalist and lyricist Robert Calvert as front man on stage. The four albums the band issued during this period saw them embrace the New Wave of rock which was taking hold. In the 1980s and 1990s Hawkwind were embraced by followers of Heavy Metal and latterly Acid House audiences (although the band remained unclassifiable). Throughout the decades, the band has always retained their influential edge.

Dust Of Time celebrates Hawkwind’s career of over 50 years and gathers tracks of musical highlights of this incredible legacy. It is the first compilation to encompass key tracks every era of this remarkable band’s history and is a tribute to their legacy.
