Robert Calvert

Co-writer of 'Silver Machine,' a member of Hawkwind, famed poet, author and lyricist, Calvert released 'Freq' in January 1985. The album was originally recorded August 1984 in Computer Music Studio, London for Flicknife records and was inspired by the 1984 miners strike and the effect it had on miners their families and British politics. One of the most intelligent songwriters in the progressive rock field, displayed in both his recorded and published work an informed and compassionate concern for the world around him, all of which is reflected in 'Freq,' a concept album dealing with automation in the workplace, industrial decline, unemployment, and the overall mechanization of man.
