A, for reasons people previously have mentioned.

Was never a particular fan of Hawkwind at the time, but they gave great attitude, and their stuff has worn well. I see them as punk precursors, only with different drugs. Never listened to Calvert's album before, but thought this was pretty decent, really propulsive. Never heard of these guys - hardly surprising, as they never had an official release in the UK. This was the last track on their only album, and probably made more sense in that context. I'm not averse to this sort of trippy/druggy soundscaping, even when I'm completely sober , but right now I'm liking A more.

A has the good grace to self-destruct at the end. Before that, it’s OK. Meat, potatoes, plenty of gravy, a nice bench on the seafront beside an overflowing litter bin.
B – a 10-minute track is a brave choice at this stage. But that’s space travel for you!

A is a blast of fun but I find with stuff like this that I prefer the idea of playing it than actually listening to it. It would've been a riot to play at the '09 Paris BCB jam, f'rinstance.
B gives me good vibes and makes me want to get a bit high (it's only 9am here atm, though) and I dig its trippiness a bit more...

Most everything I’ve heard by Hawkwind (and Hawkwind-adjacent) has disappointed me. Nearly good but with that little extra that would propel it missing. Poor dynamics (record two and three BOC would kill it) and a horrible pianner plinking along. Very pub rock goes new wave and that’s no way to be.
B isn’t that much better but squeaks by.

A sounds like a lesser Silver Machine to these ears
B is a another nice find
