EARTH LAB:
The brainchild of former HAWKWIND guitarist, JERRY RICHARDS.
Together with long time writing partner and current member of SONIC BOOM'S 'SPECTRUM/EAR' combo, ALF HARDY (TUBILAH DOG, CROKODILE TEARS), EARTH LAB exists as a vehicle for some of their more exotic and ambitious audio aspirations.
The project draws on the talents of many friends and musical acquaintances, including:
Former HAWKWIND members, STEVE SWINDELLS, (who, alongside Jerry, has played an integral part in the song writing for the album) on vocal and keyboards, RON TREE (vocalist and Hawkwind frontman during the 1990's) and the legendary violin skills of SIMON HOUSE (High Tide, Mike Oldfield, David Bowie, Japan.)
Also taking part are CULTURE CLUB drummer, JON MOSS, and MASSIVE ATTACK bass player WINSTON BLISSETT, both of whom Jerry first met through Steve Swindells, and subsequently collaborated with on Steve's DAN MINGO recording project over the last couple of years.
Former SUPERNATURALS and THE MIX drummer, ROBIN HILL, completes the core line-up of the project, with his long standing rhythm section partner, BARRY JONES, playing bass on several of the songs from the brand new EARTH LAB album, 'ELEMENT'.
CHRIS 'BB' ALDRIDGE came into the recording session to play his sublime sax and flute after a phone call from Robin convinced him to get involved.
Jerry's old friend and former SUN MACHINE and STAR NATION (with HAWKWIND drummer RICHARD CHADWICK) member, bassist STEVE TAYLOR, completes a Trans Atlantic connection.
Concept album from Earth Lab entitled, 'ELEMENT' Cat. No. ELR 12, is available direct from us.... Price £12 GBP Stirling. (Includes shipping)

I'm a BIG fan of your guitar work since I first saw you play at Strange Daze '97 (I'm a bass player & think your style, tone & riffage is KILLER)

I also did up a few other things for you & can send those along if you'd like.
Greetings My Space Friends. Letting you know I've posted a track from my new Photon Shift cd on my player, just in time for your next psychedelic party...
Where: 229 Club 229 GREAT PORTLAND ST LONDON W1W5PN.
Description: A memorial concert in appreciation of the late great MR BARNEY BUBBLES, the very creative multi-media artist, featuring some of Barney’s design projects:
12 tracks including a brandnew song by Ex-Hawkwind singer BRIDGET WISHART and EVERLING. I'm on it, too, with great BIANCA ARISTIA on vocals. The track's called 'Kepler Mission' celebrating the International Year of Astronomy.
