"Warrior on the Edge of Time" would be the last album for bassist Lemmy. This version of "Motorhead" includes some spacey sounding synth effects. This song is followed up by the classic Lemmy track "Motorhead", which would become the moniker for his new band. "Kings of Speed" showed the beginnings of what later would become Motorhead. At some points this song has a bit of a Middle Eastern flare. There is even a bit of hard rock thrown into the mix. Perhaps the standout track on the album is the epic "Magnu" which grooves along with a forceful drum beat. ![]() ![]() "The Wizard Blew his Horn" is a poetic, spoken number, with mainly drums and synthesizers. "Standing At the Edge" is a spoken word track as well, although a bit more trippy and over-the-edge. "The Demented Man" is very beautiful number with both acoustic and electric guitars, Melltoron and synthesizers. These songs sport tons of Mellotron, synths, flutes, saxes, and some excellent bass by Lemmy. ![]() I even heard some violins in the mix. The album starts with the fantastic combination of "Assault and Battery" and "The Golden Void". ![]() They are a blender mix of odd synths, over-the-top sci-fi poetry, disembodied wind instruments, growling bass guitars, swirling, and swelling melltrone. Hawkwind sound like no other band that I know of.
