Jawa
|
Along with Huw Lloyd Langton (of Hawkwind) and Nic
Potter (of Van der Graaf Generator), the trio
(tentatively named 'Jawa') was highly thought of
by Simon King himself as "the most interesting
thing" he'd done outside of Hawkwind at the time.
They rehearsed some Huw-written songs in the
1978/79 time period, and I was sent a cassette
tape of them, circa 2000, by Huw's wife Marion,
with a request to do something with them. Anyway,
the audio quality was very average, see the MP3s
up until now, plus the various copies floating
around online.
However, I have now (2024) upsampled the material
and used AI to split and remix it as far as was
possible, bringing better clarity to vocals and
instruments.
Anyway, I present the five tracks here for your
enjoyment, all remastered/remixed in 2024, though
bear in mind the age and quality of the source
material when listening!:
- Rocky Paths
- Damn Shame
- Jealousy
- Heart of
Stone
- Dark Dark
Night
Jawa was hired as a session unit to back Steve
Swindells (also in Hawkwind for a year) in his
first album, Fresh Blood, which is highly
recommended and available these
days in remastered form.
