Drawing together unheard recordings, newly reworked classics and fresh material from Hawkwind's current line-up, Psychedelic Selection is a 2026 collection that blurs the lines between studio album, archive excavation and future transmission. 

 

Blending past, present and future, this release showcases a dynamic and ever-shifting journey through Hawkwind’s creative universe and includes a stunning version of Hurry On Sundown (which poignantly marked the final recording by guitarist Huw Lloyd-Langton).

Opening with two striking new compositions, Four Legs Good, Two Legs Bad and There Are Fairies In The Garden, the album offers a glimpse into a forthcoming Hawkwind project. Elsewhere, The Judge And The Fisherman and Goonhilly Downs showcase the current line-up in full flight, delivering brand new material rooted in the band’s signature sound and immersive soundscapes.

 

Psychedelic Selection also revisits key moments from Hawkwind’s past with fresh perspective. The Demented Man and Those Days Of The Underground are reimagined for the present day, while PSI Power and The Traveller of Space are presented in powerful live-in-the-studio recordings, capturing the immediacy and energy of the band’s recent performances.

 

A particular highlight is Hurry On Sundown, marking the final recording by guitarist Huw Lloyd-Langton with the band - a fitting and atmospheric tribute to an important contributor. The album further expands into more exploratory territory with tracks drawn from associated projects, including Dave Brock’s unreleased “Dance and Trance” material (Land Of Min, Out Of Luck) and Magnus Martin’s Ocean’s Spiral, adding new dimensions to the Hawkwind sound world.
