A sample of some obscure – and some maybe not obscure – tunes from my strange and off-the-wall collection.

Today’s selection: Hawkwind – Orgone Accumulator

Seems last week’s selection was substandard so I’ll try something a bit different this week.

Orgone: “a pseudoscientific concept variously described as an esoteric energy or hypothetical universal life force“
Orgone Accumulator: a device invented by Wilhelm Reich in the 1930s to collect and concentrate life energy.

Off Hawkwind’s 1973 live album “Space Ritual“

Called “cosmic rock”; a bit harder in nature than psychedelia. Well – maybe a lot harder.
Crank it up and dance like nobody’s sober …

Hawkwind is blessed by none other than Lone Star Parson

Some comments:
– They’re not THAT bad, but definitely an acquired taste kind of band.
– Weird and not on my playlist, but if you’re driving down the road and it comes on, you can change the station.
– It’s not exactly “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun”
– They were an acid biker thing back in the day, and you can see why. I like a blast of it now and again.
– OK – it’s just me, but both “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun” and “Orgone Accumulater” are among my favorites.

And I have to agree with the last comment … and I have more Hawkwind selections for the future playlist 🙂
