"Hawkwind are an English rock band, one of the earliest space rock groups. Their lyrics favour urban and science fiction themes.

Formed in 1969 by singer/songwriter/guitarist Dave Brock, Hawkwind have gone through many incarnations and styles of music. Critic Jim Green[1] describes their trademark sound as characterised by "that gargantuan and impenetrable pre-metal/hardcore drone, those great riffs, that inexorable drive to destinations unknown". Dozens of musicians have worked with the group; notable fantasy and science fiction writer Michael Moorcock was an occasional collaborator....

In 1981 Baker and Hale left after their insistence that Bainbridge should be sacked was declined,[15] and Brock and Bainbridge elected to handle synthesizers and sequencers themselves with drummer Griffin from the Hawklords rejoining. Three albums, which again saw Michael Moorcock contributing lyrics and vocals, were recorded for RCA/Active: Sonic Attack, the electronic Church of Hawkwind and Choose Your Masques. This band headlined the 1981 Glastonbury Festival and made an appearance at the 1982 Donington Monsters of Rock Festival, as well as continuing to play the summer solstice at Stonehenge Free Festival."

BBC4 Synth Britannia Trailer

YouTube via Synthasy2000
" In the late Seventies small pockets of electronic artists such as The Human League, Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle were inspired by Kraftwerk and J G Ballard to dream of the sound of the future against the backdrop of bleak, high-rise Britain.

Gary Numan's 1979 appearance on Top Of The Pops heralded the invention of synthpop, which would provide the soundtrack as Britain entered a new, ruthless era in the Eighties.

Depeche Mode, four lads from Basildon, came to embody the new sound, while post-punk bands such as Ultravox, Soft Cell, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and Yazoo took the synth from the pages of the NME and onto the front cover of Smash Hits.

By 1983 the Pet Shop Boys and New Order were pointing to where the future of electronic music lay in dance.

Contributors to Synth Britannia include Philip Oakey, Vince Clarke, Martin Gore, Bernard Sumner, Gary Numan and Neil Tennant."

"This is the audio version plus some shot of the magazine with synth schemes (audio stop at 1.15)" part 1 here

Update: I asked ams on the forum if he had more info on this DIY synth. He replied with the following: "Yes, i've got all the informations concerning the synth structure, though i'm currently scanning them in order to post them. Im going to post them here on this forum as soon as they'll be ready.

As far as the the magazine is concerned it was a DIY electronic publication named 'Nuova Elettronica' that was very popular in the seventies in Italy. The magazine still exists though and is currently publishing all kind of kit schemes as well as selling the PCB for these kits. Here is the link to their site:

We were lucky enough to trace back the magazine copies with the different modules schemes in a old and dusty electronic shop...

Thanks a lot for publishing this stuff

Cheers,
