Description:
Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1982 album from the British Space Rockers including five bonus tracks. The album began life during sessions for Sonic Attack in 1981 and continued into the first months of the following year. The resulting album was a very different Hawkwind release which utilized synthesizers and electronic music to great effect. Fused with Hawkwind's unique Space Rock style, the album gave the band another Top 30 UK hit album and laid the ground for the Choose Your Masques album later in the year. This reissue includes five previously unreleased recordings from the album sessions and fully restores the limited edition lyric booklet, included with initial pressings of the original album. Atomhenge. 2010.
"Church of Hawkwind" on CD is a visionary studio album by the pioneering space-rock band Hawkwind, reissued here by Cherry Red Records with great care for sound and presentation. Originally emerging in the early 1980s phase of the group, the album dives deep into cosmic atmospheres, hypnotic rhythms and experimental electronics, blending driving rock with swirling synth textures and otherworldly soundscapes. The tracks flow into one another like a continuous journey, creating a dense, immersive listening experience that invites you to sit back, close your eyes and drift through Hawkwind's sonic universe. This edition is ideal for fans of classic space rock, psychedelic and progressive sounds who value both the historical importance and the distinctive mood of this recording. The CD format offers clear, powerful audio and is perfectly suited to rediscover the album as a coherent whole.
Hawkwind, formed at the dawn of the 1970s UK underground, are considered one of the key architects of space rock. Known for their relentless touring, mind-bending light shows and extended improvisations, they built a cult following that spans generations. Their breakthrough came with the hit single "Silver Machine" and the landmark album "Space Ritual", which cemented their reputation as innovators merging heavy riffs, psychedelia and science-fiction concepts. Over the years Hawkwind have influenced genres ranging from punk to metal and electronic music, with a catalogue that has become a touchstone for adventurous rock fans worldwide. "Church of Hawkwind" captures the band in a particularly electronic and atmospheric phase, underlining their willingness to experiment and evolve beyond traditional rock structures.
Cherry Red Records, the label behind this release, is an established independent record company from the UK, renowned for its extensive catalogue and carefully curated reissues.

The label is known for high-quality packaging, detailed liner notes where available and a strong archivist's approach, making their editions especially attractive for collectors and music enthusiasts who appreciate context and preservation of musical heritage. With this CD edition of "Church of Hawkwind", Cherry Red once again underlines its commitment to making important, sometimes overlooked chapters of rock history accessible in a contemporary format.
