\u201cI have traveled far from another place\u2026come to learn from your race\u2026\u201d Nik Turner intones at the outset of \u201cAdjust The Future,\u201d the lead off track from his forthcoming space-rock\/jazz-fusion magnum opus Space Fusion Odyssey, scheduled for launch on October 16.<\/p>\n

The track, like the album as a whole, features Turner\u2019s complex, jazzy improvisations on saxophone with support provided by an insanely talented and diverse group of musicians including Steve Hillage and Gilli Smyth of \u201870s prog legends Gong as well as Chris Poland of metal giant Megadeth and J\u00fcrgen Engler of German industrial band Die Krupps. The video mixes footage of Turner with some mindblowing experimental video manipulations that harken back to the psychedelic backdrops Turner\u2019s former band Hawkwind would frequently perform in front of.<\/div>\n

Space Fusion Odyssey is without a doubt the most musically ambitious undertaking Turner has ever attempted, stretching his already prodigious saxophone and flute playing skills to create instrumental soundscapes that entrance, confound, and stimulate all at the same time! An incredible crew of fellow musicians, dubbed the Interplanetary Arkestra in a nod to the great Sun Ra, help bring Turner\u2019s vision to life such as legendary jazz drummer Billy Cobham, Doors\u2019 guitarist Robby Krieger, Steve Hillage of Gong, Soft Machine\u2019s John Etheridge, Amon D\u00fc\u00fcl II founder John Weinzierl and many more! The CD comes packaged in a special mini-LP gatefold with a 12-panel poster while the vinyl comes in a deluxe 12-panel poster fold-up jacket and a gorgeous starbust colored vinyl!<\/div>\n
<\/a>In addition, this year will see the publication of The Spirit Of Hawkwind 1969-1976, the definitive biography of Hawkwind\u2019s early years as told through the eyes of Nik Turner and written by music historian Dave Thompson. The hardcover book contains 300 pages of rare and unseen photos, a comprehensive discography, and Nik\u2019s 1975 US tour diary PLUS reproductions of the 1971 \u201cGalactic Tarot\u201d card deck (designed by celebrated graphic designer Barney Bubbles), the 1972 \u201cSonic Attack\u201d 7\u201d promo one-sided single in a cloth bag, and the 1971 \u201cIn Search Of Space\u201d 6×9 20-page promotional booklet! It\u2019s a feast for Hawkwind fans everywhere!<\/div>\n
