In the darkness I will shine Cast no shadows nor define I walk on water float on air There's no other to compare

An interesting note is that this is the first album to have Langton on it since their debut. Having recovered from his five year acid binge in the early seventies, his second guitar on this record is most welcome. On this album, Hawkwind is: Dave Brock – vocals, electric guitar, keyboards Huw Lloyd-Langton – electric guitar, acoustic guitar, backing vocals Harvey Bainbridge – bass guitar, keyboards, backing vocals Tim Blake – keyboards, backing vocals Ginger Baker – drums. Levitation is a different beast to the past few Hawkwind records.

This album has an average beat per minute of 113 BPM (slowest/fastest tempos: 68/155 BPM). See its BPM profile at the bottom of the page. Tracklist Levitation.
