Dust of Time

A comprehensive 6 CD boxed set gathering together 81 tracks of musical highlights from over 50 years of the legendary Hawkwind. The first ever compilation to gather together all eras of the band’s history. 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.

I know, I know. You are probably thinking ‘oh no, not another another Hawkwind compilation album’. After all, there have been so many Hawkwind compilations that if you laid them back-to-back then you might be able to reach one of the distant galaxies that the band sing about! But, there is a dearth of genuinely career-spanning editions. True, there is the wonderfully titled This Is Your Captain Speaking….Your Captain is Dead box set which includes everything they put down for United Artists during the legendary 1970-74 period when the band basically created space rock. There’s also the excellent three CD set Epocheclipse which has 44 tracks spanning their career up to the point if its release in 1999. But now, thanks to Cherry Red, we have what I think I can safely say will become the definitive Hawkwind compilation album – consisting of a whopping six CDs and 81 tracks embracing their entire career from 1969 to 2021.

Three CD clamshell boxed set ‘Dreamworkers of Time – The BBC Recordings 1985-1995’ features all of Hawkwind’s live recordings and sessions made by the BBC between 1985 and 1995.

The Del Sol Quartet’s world-premiere recording of Huang Ruo’s A Dust In Time traces a meditative journey inspired by Tibetan Buddhist sand mandalas. The album length palindromic passacaglia grows towards ecstasy from silence before returning to its source. The music will be released in conjunction with Felicia Lee’s hand-drawn coloring book, inviting the listener to create your own mandalas in real-time along with Del Sol's euphoric performance.
