Including such classic tracks as 'Steppenwolf' and 'Reefer Madness," this reissue has been re-mastered from the original master tapes (a first for any CD issue of this album) and features previously unreleased mixes of "Back on the Streets" and "The Dream of Isis" along with the 1976 single 'Kerb Crawler' and 'Honky Dorky' as bonus tracks.

This is the first issue of this album that gives the correct credits for "City Of Lagoons" (track 3) and "Chronoglide Skyway" (track 7), respectively to Alan Powell (track 3) and Simon House (track 7). As Ian Abrahams notes in 'Hawkwind: Sonic Assassins' these two tracks originally "had their correct composing credits transposed accidentally" (p100 of second edition, 2016). In his 'Hawkwind: Days Of The Underground' (2020), Joe Banks reasserts this (p225, note 1).
"Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music" is a classic album by the legendary British space rock band Hawkwind, now available in CD format from Cherry Red Records. Originally released in 1976, this record marks an important evolution in Hawkwind's sound, blending their signature psychedelic and progressive rock elements with new experimental touches. The album features standout tracks such as "Reefer Madness," "Steppenwolf," and "Kerb Crawler," which showcase the band's innovative approach to music during this era. Hawkwind has been influential since their formation in 1969, pioneering the space rock genre and inspiring countless artists worldwide. Their previous successes include iconic albums like "Space Ritual" and hit singles such as "Silver Machine." Cherry Red Records is renowned for its dedication to reissuing classic albums across various genres, ensuring that timeless music remains accessible to both longtime fans and new listeners.
After the magnificent first studio four albums and the beautiful concert album, the subsequent albums of the band are becoming less interesting. This album retained only a few remnants of the former grandeur of the band.
