The Greatest Music
Space Ritual
by Hawkwind
The 702nd greatest album of all time
Space Ritual is a 1973 double live album that captures Hawkwind's expansive, theatrical take on space rock. The set blends hard, riff-driven rock and acid-era psychedelia with swirling synth drones, sax and flute textures, propulsive rhythms and spoken-word passages to create long, continuous pieces and extended improvisations. It stands as a definitive live document of the band's cosmic sound and the space rock aesthetic.
