Levitation (album) - Definition and Overview

Levitation is a 1980 album by British rock band Hawkwind. The first studio album since the final departure of Robert Calvert, it consolidates the band's mixture of hard rock and spaced-out psychedelia. The album is notable for being an early all-digital recording, which produces a somewhat clinical sound, and for the appearance of veteran drummer Ginger Baker. It was originally released on blue vinyl.
