I guess another example for me would be Hawkwind's 'Golden Void', particularly the non-vocal sections - there's something about those passages that continues to slightly freak me out, so astonishing do they still seem to me.

Is this the Hawkwind record you're referring to?:

"Recorded live at the Glasgow Apollo 1982 on the Rolling Stone mobile."

No, I was referring to the original track from Warrior on The Edge of Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBKcl4qLiPE

I love Hawkwind, and I worship at the temple of Space Ritual, but there's a real spooky intensity to this track that I don't think they ever captured before or after. Just listen to that Mellotron and impossibly high synth at the start... And much as Nik Turner's playing is routinely slagged off (particularly by other members of Hawkwind), I think his solo at the end is perhaps the most beautiful piece of sax I've ever heard.
