Electric Teepee was the first album to show Hawkwind's interest in trance/ambient/techno
sounds, but those elements do not pervade the album like they do on It
Is the Business of the Future to Be Dangerous. In fact, the disc opens
with the fast-paced, hard-edged rocker "LSD." That cut is pure
modern Hawkwind space rock energy. Another smoking rocker included in
this set is the Alan Davey-penned piece "The Secret Agent."
It is one of the stronger cuts ever done by the modern Hawkwind, and it
alone is worth getting this album. This disc will certainly be perceived
as an inconsistent one, but the shining moments more than make up for
that problem.
