        Hawkwind -- odna iz nemnogikh ``progressivnykh'' 
        grupp udostoivshikhsya kakoi-libo populyarnosti 
        sredi sovremennykh undergroundykh kritikov. Iz vsego 
        progressiva, naprimer, v tolstennom (30 tysyach al'bomov) 
        Trouser Press Record Guide upominaetsya Van Der Graaf  
        (potomu chto John Lydon ego lyubil), Gong (potomu 
        chto anarchisty), Can (potomu chto Buzzcocks 
        s nikh tashchilis'), Crimson (potomu chto Exposure i 
        God Save the King), Roxy Music (potomu chto Eno)  
        i Gabriel (potomu chto v Greenpise).  
        Vse eti s nepolnymi diskografiyami, vsego 
        al'bomov po pyat' (krome Roxy i Can'a). Vot zato na Hawkwind  
        daiotsya diskografiya na dve stranitsy razmerom  
        al'bomov v 70 (eto, kstati, ne vsio). Tak chto Hawkwind 
        -- eto nechto vrode brontozavra undergrounda. Obykhovenno 
        ikh sravnivayut s Grateful Dead po vliyaniyu, po kul'tovoi  
        reputatsii i po pristrastiyu k LSD, no eto delayu lyudi,  
        kotorye ili togo, ili drugogo ne slushali. Istoriya u 
        Hawkwind, vprochem, ves'ma pokhozha na Dead: to zhe 30 let  
        nepreryvnogo sushchestvovaniya, ta zhe struktura gruppy,  
        pokhozhei skoree ne semeistvo, i ta zhe zklonnost' k  
        5-chasovym kontsertam (tol'ko v otlichie ot Dead, u 
        Hawkwind kontserty byli bol'shei chast'yu besplatnye, 
        potomu chto anarchisty). 
 
        Zadolgo do Sex Pistols, s ikh rizyvom k grazhdanskoi 
        voine, Hawkwind vypustil pesnyu ``Urban Guerilla'', tozhe 
        popavshuyu v hity, i tozhe zapreshchennuyu v mass media: 
                I am urban guerilla, I make bombs in my cellar 
                ... 
                So watch out, the businessman, 
                Your empire is about to blow ... 
                ... I am a social cancer ... 
        Voobshche, v image u Hawkwind bol'she obshchego 
        s bikerami i metallistami, chem s Dead -- nedarom 
        Lemmi Kilmister, osnovavshiy Motorhead, igral v 
        Hawkwind, i dazhe pesnya Motorhead prinadlezhit 
        etoi gruppe. Po zvuchaniyu, vprochem, Hawkwind 
        nikak ne Motorhead -- skoree, oni blizhe k Floydu 
        Meddle'vskogo perioda, ili k Gongu i Amon Duul II 
        (kstati, Gong, Hawkwind i Amon Duul II chasto menyalis' 
        muzykantami). Eshcho, v otlichie ot vsekh progressivnykh 
        grupp (i voobshche rocka -- krome, mozhet byt', Throbbing 
        Gristle i grupp WSD... Nu, Magma eshcho i Art Zoyd...),  
        Hawkwind gruppa, zakruchennaya na literature. V sostave  
        gruppy chasto prisutstvoval pisatel' Michael Moorcock  
        (kstati, odin iz naiundergroundneishikh fantastov -- 
        vot naprimer ya nedavno rasstavlyal svoi knizhechki po 
        polochkam, i chto zhe, dve polochki tselikom zanyaty 
        raznym Moorcockom). Image opredelyal Robert Calvert, 
        odin iz osnovnykh chlenov gruppy, kotoryi ne pel, 
        ne igral, a byl poet iz Yuzhnoi Afriki. Prochie muzykanty 
        tozhe ne duraki byli pografomanstvovat' -- na mnogikh  
        zapisyakh prisutstvuyut stikhi, zachityvaemye Nikom 
        Turnerom. Moorcock napisal trilogiyu (The Time of the Hawklords), 
        gde vsemi geroyami vystupayut muzykanty iz Hawkwinda, 
        a Hawkwind sochinyali al'bomy po ego romanam. 
 
        Chast' muzykantov iz Hawkwinda perebralas' v Shtaty 
        i zapisyvaetsya na Kleopatre, kotoraya ochen' teplo 
        k Hawkwindu otnositsya i vypuskaet Hawkwindovskie 
        kompilyatsii (v etom Hawkwind srodni Chrome; vprochem, 
        i po zvuchaniyu Chrome -- blizhaishiy sosed Hawkwind'a). 
        Na vypushchennoi Genesisom P-Orridgem plastinke (2 CD) 
        Space Rock Compilation massa Hawkwinda, a v sol'nykh proektakh 
        Nika Turnera, Gen. P-O -- odin iz glavnykh muzykantov.  
 
        V Anglii seichas, na volne vozrosshego interesa k LSD,  
        Hawkwind diko populyaren. Poyavilas' tselaya tusovka 
        para-progressivnykh muzykantov tipa Ozric Tentacles, 
        igrayushchikh nechto srednee mezhdu Hawkwind, Gr.Dead  
        i Gong. Vse oni vystupayut s Hawkwindom na kontsertakh. 
        Hawkwind prodolzhaet vypuskat' al'bomy: odnikh ofitsial'nykh 
        al'bomov u nikh poryadka 30 ili 40, a eshcho est' butlegi, 
        contsery, sol'niki i kolpilyatsii -- shtuk sto vsego. 
        Moorcock tozhe boxed set solo vypustil nedavno. 
        V obshchem, tselyi zoopark. Moi lyubimyi al'bom 
        Hawkwinda -- kontsertnik ``Bring me the head of Yuri Gagarin'', 
        khoroshiy tem, chto krome ritmichnodo shuma nichego  
        razobrat' tam nel'zya -- industrial'naya muzyka za 10 
        let do. Vprochem, v knige Dave Thompsona ``Industrial 
        Revolution'' Hawkwind upominaetsya kak odin iz  
        rodonachal'nikov, vmeste s Floyd'om i Can'om. 
        Eshcho iz al'bomov Hawkwind, ya recommenduyu  
        Hall of the Mountain Grill.

        ``And in the future 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 the key to Heaven _and_ Hell?'' -- Moorcock, The Time of the 
        Hawklords.
