(Review from vintageprog.com)

A tremendous improvement over the debut, and “In Search of Space” is generally regarded as the first classic Hawkwind-release. The band had pretty much found their signature sound of hard rocking guitar-riffs built around lengthy, spacey excursions stuffed with weird electronic sounds and Turner’s unique and atmospheric saxophone and flute-playing. The album included the first classic Hawkwind-riff and anthem in “Masters of the Universe”. The 15-minute opener “You Shouldn’t Do That” became another classic and stage-favourite. The band still messed around with some quite free-floating improvisations in “You Know You’re Only Dreaming” and “Adjust Me” but both were of a much more consistent kind than anything on the debut-album. Even the two acoustic tracks “We Took the Wrong Step Years Ago” and “Children of the Sun” has a great spacey atmosphere that will make your mind float. A very important album in the band’s history.
