"having been a big fan of simon house, i was really excited to get this cd. i have always enjoyed his violin work in all the bands he has played in. the cd has some hawkwind material and hawkwind-type music. but i was disappointed in that it was mostly electronic, with his violin work as secondary. there is nothing wrong with that, the cd is a cross between hawkwind and ambient rock, but i wanted to hear predominately more of his violin work. evidentally, he plays all the music on the cd, which is a wide variety of keyboard/computer stuff. so if you have enjoyed simon's violin solo's and playing of past recordings, you'll probably be disappointed. if you want something to compliment your hawkwind collection, this release is alright. frank zappa did a solo release called "shut up and play yer guitar." i would like simon to minimize the electronic/computer stuff and focus on this talented violin work."
