Space Ritual DVD

The original rock'n'roll space warrior the alien godfather of heavy metal Nik Turner has spent over three crazed decades helping to create what can only be described as some of the most mind shattering hypnotic and fantastical music ever to feature on the international rock scene. From fronting legendary psychedelic rock band Hawkwind to his days with surreal proto-punk outfit Inner City Unit he has never been anything less than 150% entertaining. A performance artist second to none Nik Turner has awed thousands of adoring fans with a plethora of onstage characters... rivalled only by Bowie. His musical genius is unquestionable his charisma the icing on the kaleidoscopic cake. A cult hero in every sense! Recorded at the Great American Music Hall San Francisco during the band's tour of America in 1994 and available on DVD for the first time this film truly captures the psychedelic madness of the 'Space Ritual.' Turner is on his best and craziest form as he fronts his most powerful line up in years including HELIOS CREED (Chrome) DEL DETTMAR (Hawkwind) GENESIS P.ORRIDGE (Throbbing Gristle Psychic TV) ALAN POWELL (Hawkwind) and members of PRESSUREHEAD. Featuring many out-there classics from his back catalogue this DVD demonstrates exactly why the man is heralded as a major influence on Psychedelic Rock even today.
