Hawklords is a 1978 studio album by Hawkwind released under the name Hawklords for legal reasons as there was a dispute over ownership of the name "Hawkwind". It reached #48 on the UK album charts. It was originally titled 25 Years On and the first 25000 were pressed as this until the band decided to simply call it Hawklords. Subsequent re-releases have reverted the name "25 Years On" and the band also now use this name on their web site.

  • Hawklords is a 1978 studio album by Hawkwind released under the name Hawklords for legal reasons as there was a dispute over ownership of the name "Hawkwind". It reached #48 on the UK album charts. It was originally titled 25 Years On and the first 25000 were pressed as this until the band decided to simply call it Hawklords. Subsequent re-releases have reverted the name "25 Years On" and the band also now use this name on their web site. Hawkwind had self imploded on a USA tour earlier in the year leaving only Robert Calvert, Dave Brock and Simon King to embark on this project. They were joined by Harvey Bainbridge who had played bass in Devon group Ark who in turn had performed with Calvert and Brock as the Sonic Assassins, and by keyboardist Steve Swindells who had been in Pilot. During the Devon recording session King returned home to London and was replaced by Martin Griffin (also from Ark), but King subsequently returned giving the band two drummers. Simon House had left the earlier band to join David Bowie but contributed violin to the sessions, as did noted British jazz trumpeter Henry Lowther. Road manager Les McClure also sneaked a performance in. The music is perhaps as far removed from the generic Space Rock the band would ever get, these tracks being tightly arranged pieces more in tune with New Wave of the time rather than the band's history. Lyrically this is Calvert's most diverse dealing with themes such as telepathy ("Psi Power"), sky diving ("Free Fall"), Australian drug misuse ("Flying Doctor"), heroic bravery ("The Only Ones") and espionage ("The Dead Dreams Of The Cold War Kid"). There's a light hearted playfulness to these tracks, only the lyrics of "The Age Of The Micro Man" hinted at the bleak cold futuristic factory workers concept that Calvert and Barney Bubbles put together for the stage show of the album. This programme is reproduced in the CD booklet of the Atomhenge re-release. "Psi Power" and "25 Years" were released as singles but are slightly different versions to those that appeared on the album.
  • 25 Years On on Hawkwindin albumi vuodelta 1978. Yhtye käytti tuolloin laillisista syistä Hawklords-nimeä, johtuen Hawkwind-nimen omistajan epäselvyydestä. Yhtye oli hajonnut hankalan Yhdysvaltain kiertueen jälkeen keväällä 1978 ja henkiseen tasapainoon päässyt Robert Calvert ja Dave Brock päättivät aloittaa puhtaalta pöydältä ja koota uuden yhtyeen. Basistiksi tuli Harvey Bainbridge, rumpaliksi Martin Griffin ja kosketinsoittajaksi Steve Swindells. Tosin vanhat jäsenet Simon King ja Simon House osallistuivat myös levytykseen soittaen joillakin kappaleilla. Bainbridge ja Griffin olivat soittaneet Calvertin ja Brockin kanssa joulukuussa 1977 yhden keikan nimikkeellä Sonic Assassins. Kosketinsoittajana tuolloin oli ollut Paul Hayles joka oli mukana Hawkwindin kevään 1978 Yhdysvaltain kiertueella. Bainbridge, Griffin ja Hayles olivat soittaneet yhdessä Devonilaisessa Ark-yhtyeessä. Levyn teon aikoihin punk rock oli muuttumassa uudeksi aalloksi ja levyllä on havaittavissa kyseisiä vaikutteita etenkin kappaleissa "PSI Power", "Free Fall" ja "(Only) The Dead Dreams Of The Cold War Kid". Albumin ja sitä seuraavan kiertueen konseptina toimi kuvitteellinen "Pan Transcendental Industries"-organisaatio, jonka toiminta perustui teollistuneen yhteisön työskentelyyn Fritz Langin Metropolis-elokuvaa mukaellen. Syksyn 1978 kiertueen jälkeen Robert Calvert ja Martin Griffin erosivat yhtyeestä. Albumi julkaistiin remasteroituna sisältäen bonuskappaleita ja toisen cd:n vuonna 2009 Atomhengen toimesta.
  • 25 Years On è l'ottavo album in studio della space rock band Hawkwind, registrato nel 1978 e pubblicato nello stesso anno. In realtà l'album esce per gli Hawklords, in quanto il gruppo è costretto a cambiare nome per motivi legali. Il disco è stato però stampato ed è noto anche col nome "Howklords", anche se oggi è più noto col titolo originale. L'album segna l'ingresso in formazione di Harvey Bainbridge e Steve Swindells. Inoltre durante le registrazioni sia Simon King che Simon House lasciarono temporaneamente il gruppo. Il posto di King fu preso da Martin Griffin.
