Looking to add this to my Hawkwind collection. Any thoughts from my space cadets...I will be going to the Philly show in October. Anyone else going????

electric tepee is a great sounding cd! great music including a remake of mirror of illusions called mask of morning worth the price alone. i'll be at the nyc show for sure and maybe more playing it by ear.
Generally regarded as one of their best later-era CDs. I like the track Secret Agent, plus the lead off - LSD!
"Always ready with the ray of sunshine"
I thought it was a pretty good album. Some very solid music on this one. This was the last good album I heard from them. Their next album, It Is The Business Of The Future To Be Dangerous, had them trying to prove (and failing, if you ask me) that they weren't just a bunch of "boring old farts". And their new albums became scarce where I live after that, so I never really heard any after that.
But Electric Tepee I remember liking a lot. I'll have to dig it out and play a couple tracks on Journey Of The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
It signaled their renaissance after an array of average albums. I also like what came after ("It Is The Business Of The Future To Be Dangerous", "Alien 4" etc.)
Beg to differ. I thought Space Bandits, Palace Springs, and most of the 80's era albums were great. I think Hawkwind stayed pretty consistently strong right up through to and including Electric Tepee. There were a couple "best of the leftovers" collections during the 80's, one was called Zones, the other In & Outtake (or was Out & Intake?) that I thought weren't all that great, but beyond that, I like most of what the band did during the 70's, 80's and very early 90's.
One of the better later-period HW albums. It have a very electronic-rock feel.
American Hollow - my prog band.
