Ep 11: Levitation

Hawkbinge

Boom! Hawkbinge kicks off season 2 big time with "Levitation", the album by Ginger Baker's Air-Hawks. The first album of season 2, the first album of the 1980's and the first, and only studio album on the Bronze label.
In this episode Andy & Matt look back on the new releases from 1980, check out the renewed Galactico-filled state of the band, choose tracks for the Master and Sessions playlists on Spotify and take a good look at who is occupying the Hawkwind drum stool these days...
And, of course, they deep-dive into the music of Levitation and get Matt's response to yet another new direction for the band.
