In Search Of Space & Warrior On The Edge Of Time - Double Album Playback in 360° spatial audio
Hawkwind are one of the most mythologised bands in British rock history – architects of Space Rock, pioneers of the live experience, and creators of a catalogue that has only grown in stature across five decades of devotion.
In Search of Space – their 1971 masterwork, and the album that first fully realised their extraordinary sonic vision – arrives here in Stephen W Tayler’s acclaimed 5.1 surround mix. You Shouldn’t Do That. Master of the Universe. We Took the Wrong Step Years Ago. Tracks that still crackle with dangerous, visionary energy, accompanied by new spatial mixes of the 1972 singles Silver Machine and Seven by Seven.
Warrior on the Edge of Time – released in 1975, and regarded by fans and critics alike as one of the towering achievements of mid-seventies rock – is presented here in a breathtaking new spatial mix by Steven Wilson. A ground-breaking classic, and now the ultimate audio experience of one of Hawkwind’s most celebrated records.
At Polygon Portal, both albums played in full in immersive surround sound. Music this vast, this transportive, heard from every direction at once – the drones, the textures, the deep space given the room it always demanded.
Start to finish. The way it was always meant to be felt.
