Untitled[edit]

Is there any reference for the fact the dojo CD was done at the wrong speed? My copy seems fine, and I listened to the vinyl version for so long I think it would have been noticable.

The name of the Shelley poem that inspired the lyrics of "Magnu" is called "Hymn of Apollo", not "Song to Apollo". See http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Hymn_of_Apollo for the original. -- 217.158.67.9 (talk) 08:13, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

simon house's birthday & 'spiral galaxy'[edit]

the numbers don't match. elsewhere (including wikipedia) his birthday is given as 29th august 1948. is it possible that this was either a mistake in the studio, or that "28948" just reads better? but the reference here needs altering, at least to mention the ambiguity. duncanrmi (talk) 11:16, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Opa-Loka[edit]

What significance does Opa-locka, Florida have to the band that they would name a song after it? 63.140.104.226 (talk) 10:17, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since Hawkwind was influenced by krautrock (which you can definitely hear in Opa-Loka) could it be that the song title is a German reference of some kind? ("Opa" means "grandfather" in German, whereas Opa-locka is Seminole Indian) 63.140.104.226 (talk) 11:22, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is from Tibetan Buddhism - after death the soul wanders each of the seven Lokas (realms, planes of existence) before rebirth or reaching Nirvana (not the grunge band). Opa is one of these Lokas. It is possibly associated with the song The Golden Void - refer to its lyrics. William Harristalk 09:14, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For @William Harris:, Alan Powell: "Opa-Loka was named after a place in Florida. I lived in Florida in 1970" - Hawkwind: Sonic Assassins Page 259 (Ian Abrahams, 2004) [1]– 217.42.5.162 (talk) 14:31, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All you need to do is provide a citation to state that, and possibly one that explains why a British space-rock band would decide to name a track after some place in Florida, USA. William Harris (talk) 08:44, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Links to Blogs[edit]

Hi everyone, unfortunately most of the links are dead or are to a Blog claiming to have been an article written in the mid '70s. If my memory serves me correctly, this is not "Best Practice Source Material" and somewhat un-reliable, if not outright "personal opinions" of some Blogger that have been used as the source.

I'm posting for the Admin's to see what they think, as I'm somewhat absent now days due to commitments and was just checking something for a personal reason about personnel on the album, when I got reading and thought it didn't look like legitimate source material, so when I checked the links on the first 10 references I found them mainly dead or Blogs.

Regards
