(2021) Robert Calvert - The Last Starfighter


Review:
One of the most charismatic and cutting-edge visionaries to emerge out of London’s psych rock scene of the ’60s & ’70s, Hawkwind frontman Robert Calvert, gets rediscovered and revamped by a superb collection of nextgen artists! Features remixes by indie noise icons Xiu Xiu, chillwave group Small Black, post-punkers Soft Kill plus darkwave duos Xeno & Oaklander and Sixth June as well as veterans A Flock Of Seagulls and The Damned’s Rat Scabies! Includes tracks from both Calvert’s solo albums as well as rare demos that offer a glimpse of where Calvert was headed artistically and what he might have sounded like if he was still making music today! Mastered by Jurgen R Engler at Atom H Studios, Austin TX
