10 Albums Every Hawkwind Fan Should Own

4. Doremi Fasol Latido

Hawkwind Doremi Fasol Latido The album Doremi Fasol Latido (Doh, Ray, Me, Fah, So, Lah, Ti, Doh in case you didn't know) marked a change of drummer to Simon King and a new bass player, one Ian Kilminster better known as Lemmy. This is a particularly mystical album with inner harmonics of the major scale linked to the placement of the planets. As the band themselves said on the inner sleeve:
And in the fullness of time, the prophecy must be fulfilled and the Hawklords shall return to smite the land. And the dark forces shall be scourged, the cities razed and made into parks. Peace shall come to everyone. For is it not written that the sword is key to Heaven and Hell?
The power tracks are the first two - Nik Turner's wonderful Brainstorm and then Dave Brock's Space is Deep.
