Description
• Extensive set exploring the space rock and free festival scene, 1978-1998.

• Compiled with the legendary Dave Brock, frontman of Hawkwind, figurehead of the scene and inspiration for countless like-minded heads.

• Featuring key names – Hawkwind (and their many offshoots), Ozric Tentacles, Here And Now, Magic Mushroom Band, Poisoned Electrick Head, Michael Moorcock, Robert Calvert, Tim Blake, etc. Plus many lesser-known but vital players in a movement that was as much a way of life and a political philosophy as it was a music scene.

• 40 tracks, each of them exploring the outer limits of mind, body and spirit.

• Sleevenotes by Ian Abrahams, author of Hawkwind: Sonic Assasins and Festivalized: Music, Politics And Alternative Culture.

Emerging out of the post-hippy fall-out of the late 1960s, Dave Brock and Hawkwind forged a new, psychedelic rock sound which, as the 1970s progressed, became the focal point of a festival scene that drew together countless alternative and counter-cultural artists, all of whom sought to take their listeners into previously unchartered realms of inner space.

Gathered together here are the prime movers in this Brock-inspired scene which subsequently emerged and found focus towards the end of the ‘70s, centred on free festivals, like-minded record labels, self-released cassettes and an anti-authoritarian lifestyle and political position.

From hard rocking psychedelic warriors to experimental sonic architects, ‘This Was Your Future’ captures a time and place in danger of being forgotten in the corporate playground of the present. A place where the guitar and the synthesiser proved mightier than the sword, offering an outlet for expression to countless artists for whom mainstream culture was a strange and alien landscape.
