The greatest live album of the 1970s is Space Ritual by Hawkwind! Psychedelic, cosmic, funny, scary, trippy, perfect! Take a trip to the distant origins of cyberpunk in the New Wave of Science Fiction that broke open the old tropes of the Science Fiction Genre. From Alfred Bester to Michael Moorcock to Space Ritual to Sex Pistols to William Gibson with a dose of Dune and David Lynch. Find out where the genre of hi-tech and low-life was born in the seething underbelly of the rock and science fiction world of the 1970s.
