If you’ve not twigged yet, The Future Never Waits follows the concept of life cycles. One that began with The End, is brought to a conclusion with The Beginning – the reminder to “upload your consciousness here and leave your body at the door marked ‘incinerator‘” – and to step forward for the ‘beginning’ of the next part of the journey.

Hawkwind. Sweet, sweet Hawkwind… Is there a band on the planet which is as at once so synonymous with one place (England, more specifically West London, if you didn’t know), whilst being so totally, gloriously not of this world? I don’t think so… Between 1999 and 2007, the band released both new and archive material through Voiceprint, this catalogue now being out of print. [3]
