 Hawkestrel
 Chaos Rocks
 Review by Gary Hill
Hawkestrel is a project led by Alan Davey. Davey is probably best known as having been the bassist for Hawkwind for quite a few years. Since leaving that band he has taken part in other projects. This disc features a number of guest musicians, some of whom are no longer with us. Those include a number of his fellow Hawkwind albums including Ginger Baker, Bob Calvert, Simon House, Huw Lloyd-Langton, Mick Slattery and Nik Turner. Yes' Geoff Downes appears on one song. Mick Taylor of Rolling Stones fame is also a guest on the album as are Carmine Appice, Helios Creed and William Shatner This is quite an effective set of classic, yet fresh, space rock.
