Notes

"The Machine Stops is based on E.M.Forster's (Edward Morgan Forster's) sci-fi classic, a prophetic tale written in 1909 predicting a future living in isolated, subterranean cells, communicating with others only by the use of a personal screen.
Every need is controlled and catered for by the omnipresent machine, which inevitably begins to break down.
An atmospheric, musical interpretation beginning in tunnels deep beneath the earth. The struggle to escape and find a way to reach the outer surface is a utopian dream, which could become a dystopian nightmare...
Forster's visionary masterpiece provides chilling warning of the dangers of isolation, reliance on computer technology and the effects on society." - Inner Sleeve Notes.

    That album would be really great if it wasn't such a muddy affair. The poor clarity and definition of the sound due to unprofessional mixing really spoils it a lot for me unfortunately, what a shame!

      Hawkwind are back!!!! This is a great album which just gets better and better with every listen. Still retaining a classic sound but exploring new styles and themes - Highly recommended for fans old and new.

        The best album from Hawkwind in years. Thought provoking and relevant to todays online world. Highly recommended. Unique new sound, with hints of "Live Chronicles" "Robot" and "Paradox".
