Michael Moorcock and The Deep Fix - "The New World's Fair"

Besides Moorcock himself on guitar and vocals, The Deep Fix featured Hawkwind and Pink Floyd tour and session alumni including Nik Turner, Dave Brock, Simon House, Snowy White, Graham Charnock, Alan Powell and Simon King. Part concept album, part allegorical sci-fi narrative of an eerie English seaside fair that spins on in the midst of its post-apocalyptic surroundings, The New World's Fair is a rare and fascinating glimpse into Moorcock's musical vision, amplified through his association with like-minded spacerock luminaries from Hawkwind.

"Michael John Moorcock (born December 18, 1939) is a prolific British writer primarily of science fiction and science fantasy who has also published a number of literary novels. Moorcock's most popular works by far have been the Elric novels, starring the character Elric of Melniboné, an anti-hero written as a deliberate reversal of what Moorcock saw as cliches commonly found in fantasy adventure novels inspired by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and a direct antithesis of Robert E. Howard's Conan." -- Wikipedia

"I have to hold up my hands and admit to being very much a fan of Michael Moorcock's work, but even allowing for my rose-tinted glasses, I think I can safely say that [The New World's Fair] is truly a great album. I still play it regularly, more than twenty years after its release and, enjoy it as much as ever." -- Brian Tawn, from Dude's Dreams: The Music of Michael Moorcock [via Terminal Café]
