The Machine Stops (2016)

The late 90s and 00s saw a plethora of live albums and guest singers, but relatively few studio recordings. However, Hawkwind have gone through a major resurgence over the

past 10 years, with The Machine Stops – a concept album based on the E.M. Forster

novella – being the pick of their recent releases. Synchronised Blue and A Solitary Man are great melodic rockers; Hexagone

is an odd but affecting ballad.
