This is a compilation of previously released tracks, including demos and live cuts. The songs range from the wildly experimental ('Ghost Dance', 'British Tribal Music', 'Hash Cake '77') to the more straightforward space-rock of the band ('Silver Machine', 'Quark, Strangeness And Charm'), with a lot of in-between points touched upon. The version of 'Motorhead' included here is the Dave Brock-sung demo, for instance. This isn't the cd for those new to Hawkwind to pick up first-- try "In Your Area" or "In Search Of Space" or "Space Ritual" if you can find it. But for Hawkwind fans who may not already have these 15 tracks, this is a must-buy. For under ten dollars you get almost 61 minutes of outstanding music made by one of the greatest bands in rock history.

Give us a break.Isn't there NOW like four different Hawkwind compilation CD's by the same name,'Master Of The Universe'?This fifteen track collection looks to be tunes pulled from the long out-of-print Hawkwind import releases 'Acid Daze',volumes 1,2 and 3.Are there REALLY that many completists out there?

hawkwind master of the universe and at the moment in time in the early seventies hawkwind were the leaders of space rock punk with their fantastic single "silver machine" here live and a fantastic version i must add had everything going for them they made quite a few classics in the seventies and this cd i found in hmv fot about £3.00 yeash i know a bargain
other classics what have been showcased live are "motorhead" the band lemmy formed after he was kicked out of hawkwind after being busted for drug possesion and if lemmy wouldn't of been kicked out we would of never got that classic deafning band
other classic live tracks are
"spirit of age" "british tribal music"
"quark strangness and charm" "dealing with the devil"

here came hawkwind flying in to take you down

Hawkwind was one of those bands of the 70's that didn't have a lot of commercial success, but had a strong cult following. Their recordings are usually not the best. This one is no exception. I don't really care for any of the tracks on this CD. But, I'll give them credit for their originality of space punk with a hint of the early signs of grundge. It's easy to see that someone like Metallica could have been influenced by this band.
