Hawkwind – Chronicle Of The Black Sword (ATOMCD1012)
Released 29/06/09.
The conceptual album (based on Michael Moorcock s Elric books) was recorded in 1985 and was arguably one of Hawkwind’s finest albums of later years. Critically acclaimed upon release, the album was followed by an extensive tour which would give rise to the Live Chronicles album. Deleted for many years, this reissue has been remastered from the original master tapes and includes the bonus tracks Arioch (from the rare 1985 CD edition of the album), along with all four tracks from the 1984 Earth Ritual EP
Song Of The Swords / Shade Gate / The Sea King / The Pulsing Cavern / Elric The Enchanter / Needle Gun / Zarozinia / The Demise / Sleep Of A Thousand Tears / Chaos Army / Horn Of Destiny / Bonus Tracks – Arioch / Night Of The Hawks / Green Finned Demon / Dream Dancers / Dragons And Fables
