(3 Customer Reviews)
Hawkwind's fifth studio album found the band enjoying a rare oasis of stability after the multitudinous personnel shifts of the past five years. Only the recruitment of a second drummer, Alan Powell, disturbed the equanimity of the lineup that created the previous year's Hall of the Mountain Grill, although it would soon be time to change again. By the end of the year, bassist Lemmy had departed, vocalist Robert Calvert had rejoined, and the group's career-long relationship with United Artists would be over. In the meantime, Warrior on the Edge of Time ensured that it was brainstorming business as usual. Decorated with a magnificent sleeve that unfolded into the shape of a shield, Warrior on the Edge of Time delivered some of Hawkwind's best-loved future showstoppers -- Simon House's far-reaching "Spiral Galaxy 28948," the frenetic "Assault and Battery," and the monstrous "Magnu" all made their bow here, while the accompanying "Kings of Speed" single was certainly a big hit in the youth clubs of the day, even if it did steadfastly avoid the chart. Remarkable, too, is "The Golden Void," a stately bolero set, indeed, on the edge of time and buffeted by one of the band's most impressive ever instrumental performances. A handful of tracks do betray their age. Michael Moorcock's echo- and effects-laden recitation of "The Wizard Blew His Horn" is impossibly overwrought, although it's worth sitting through simply for the segue into the throbbing "Opa-Loka"; in fact, the entire album is presented with minimal breaks between tracks, to deliver a seamless treat that -- in the light of Hawkwind's next musical moves -- has since seen Warrior on the Edge of Time described as the band's last true "classic." It isn't, but you can easily see why people think it might be. [The CD reissue includes one bonus track, Lemmy's valedictory "Motorhead," recorded during the album sessions but released only as the B-side to "Kings of Speed."] ~ Dave Thompson

| Warrior On The Edge Of Time Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)   Their finest hour. If I was to say that this was HW's bestest LP I would be treading on very dangerous ground...they have done a lot of LP's and most of them qualify as bestest, however this recording is certainly my fave (if you don't include PXR5...and possibly Quark/Strangeness...
and others?)
Nope, this is me all-time choice for the HW album of albums. "Assault and battery" and "The golden void" are utterly brilliant, and the other tunes aren't far behind. The bonus tracks are
a non-event (a better version of "Kings
of speed" is already available and "Motorhead" was perfected by another band) but worry-ye-not.
THE BEST...A MUST HAVE! Submitted by The Hawkwind fan called Tim (...somewhere in England.) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful.
finest era! Great album,buy this ! Best Hawkwind ! Submitted by buster (chicago,illinois) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Hawkwind at its finest! This is Hawkwind at its finest. The right personnel and the right time. They stretched their legs with "Doremi" and by "Hall of the Mountain Grill" they were putting it all together and by the time they put this together it was full speed ahead- the flowing synthesizer, Nik Turner's sax, Lemmy's accompanying bass lines, the perfect music to zone out on.

| | Rammstein Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da CDs (2009) Bonus Tracks; Deluxe Edition; Digipak
Warrior On The Edge Of Time CD music
$17.79 Anyone familiar with the industrial-metal band's dark sense of irony should take one look at the title of Rammstein's 2009 album LIEBE IST FUR ALLE DA ("Love Is There For Everyone") and conclude that this one is a mean monster. Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album SEHNSUCHT with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, LIEBE IST is a grand achievement, skillfully dividing its time between razor sharp metal rockers like "B********" or the opening theme song "Rammlied" and nostalgic, cabaret pieces that conjure the spirits of Weil and Brecht at a goth club. Best of the latter is the naked and haunting closer "Roter Sand" but little touches of a sinister yesteryear are everywhere, like the fake vaudeville music in "Haifisch" or the soundtrack strings of "Wiener Blut" which ...

Warrior On The Edge Of Time CD music
$13.09 Spicing up the Swedish rap-metal with some Middle Eastern melodic flavor and more dynamic vocals, this eponymous release added a much-needed dimension to Clawfinger's six-year-old approach to industrial hard-hop. Choice cuts like "Chances" have the incredibly fat guitars, fresh textures, and hooks to prove producer Peter Reardon's considerable knob-twisting abilities and world music vision. While Clawfinger has its expansionist moments, the Swedish outfit was not going to abandon its mostly monochromatic and mechanized signature sound on this, the band's third full-length release. The middle section of Clawfinger, with ...

$11.99 When they formed the band in London, the members of the Slits couldn't even tune their own instruments, but two years later, in 1979, they recorded this seriously strange and upbeat album, firmly planting a flag in the skull of punk for all of womankind. Under the producing wing of reggae giant Dennis Bovell, CUT rocks, rips, roots under, and rides over ska and punk cliches with unfettered glee and heavy bass.
The sexy yowling on "Shoplifting" and "So Tough" shows how vocalist ...
