Quark, Strangeness & Charm is Hawkwind’s first album after a big shakeup in the band – one of the drummers (Alan Powell), and the vocalist, saxophonist, and flutist Nik Turner were out, and bassist Paul Rudolph had been replaced by Adrian Shaw (and Lemmy had left well before this). It’s also the second of the Hawkwind albums that were included in Record Store Day a while back.

I haven’t done any music reviews or criticism in a while, so I figured it’s time to get back into doing that. This is going to be somewhat rough and unpolished, as I’m generally trying to find my voice again when it comes to discussion of music.
