Description

Three CDs. Extensive 40 track set exploring the Space Rock and Free festival scene, 1978-1998. Compiled with the legendary Dave Brock, frontman of Hawkwind, figurehead of the scene and inspiration for countless like-minded heads. Featuring key names Hawkwind (and their many offshoots), Ozric Tentacles, Here And Now, Magic Mushroom Band, Poisoned Electrick Head, Michael Moorcock, Robert Calvert, and Tim Blake plus many lesser-known but vital players in a movement that was as much a way of life and a political philosophy as it was a music scene. Emerging out of the post-hippy fall-out of the late 1960s, Dave Brock and Hawkwind forged a new, psychedelic rock sound which, as the 1970s progressed, became the focal point of a festival scene that drew together countless alternative and counter-cultural artists, all of whom sought to take their listeners into previously unchartered realms of inner space. Gathered together here are the prime movers in this Brock-inspired scene which subsequently emerged and found focus towards the end of '70s, centred on free festivals, like-minded record labels, self-released cassettes and an anti-authoritarian lifestyle and political position. From hard rocking psychedelic warriors to experimental sonic architects, This Was Your Future captures a time and place in danger of being forgotten in the corporate playground of the present. A place where the guitar and the synthesizer proved mightier than the sword, offering an outlet for expression to countless artists for whom mainstream culture was a strange and alien landscape.
