DOREMI FASOL LATIDO (1972-1992 REMASTER)
320 KBPS

One of Hawkwind's 70s' best albums ! As for the first time Lemmy Kilmister enters the crew, Doremi Fasol Latido is the most agressive, rock-oriented of their albums. More stoner, less jazzy than their former acts, the space band puts adrealin in their music to launch their rocket to space !
The record opens with the thundering Brainstorm which announces clearly the color. Nearly 12 minutes of mindblowing heavy psychedelia, weird reverberation and sonic destruction anthem. The calm comes back with Space Is Deep, another favorite from the band that projects you in the stratosfear. Lemmy's bass playing is excellent. One Change works good as a short transition ambient track to announce the space metal killer song Lord Of Light. This tune is as essential as Master Of The Universe on In Search Of Space. Now, time for acoustic songs, Down Through The Night and The Watcher very relaxing and inspired. The only flaw here is Time We Left This World Today, a little repetitive and cacophonic by moments, which prevents the record from being a masterpiece.
Concerning the bonus tracks, they are very good and rock ! Urban Guerilla is powerful and Brainbox Pollution has surprising space-jazzy touch that fits perfectly to the song. Ejection has some echoes of Satisfaction by the Stones.
Doremi Fasol Latido is one of the most stoner rock influential record. Very noisy, but very refreshing and powerful. Great moment of space metal!
