Out & Intake serves up another go-round for the formless mass of early-to-mid-'80s recordings bequeathed by Hawkwind to the Flicknife label and is most notable for its attention to recent material, as opposed to one more trawl through the vintage catalog. Once past the occasionally brittle sound quality, it is a generally enjoyable set, its highlights stretching from the near free-form sax opener, "Turner Point," through to a turbulently dramatic "Ghost Dance," while the handful of cuts drawn over from other compilations (most notably Night of the Hawk) were at least chosen with an eye for continuity. However, not even the most patient Hawkwind fan really requires yet another reprise of "Assassins of Allah," while the oddly truncated rendition of departed member Robert Calvert's "Ejection" is simply frustrating -- although the song has since become a Hawkwind catalog staple, the opportunity to hear it is still one to be savored, not regretted. [The CD reissue adds two tracks, "Coded Languages" and a chilling "Warrior on the Edge of Time."] ~ Dave Thompson, Rovi
