If you want a comparison, Hawkwind is the closest star in this galaxy — but Giöbia don’t just circle around them. Hawkwind’s classic space rock was always a wild ride: raw, motorik, noisy in a charming way, like a rocket held together with tape and pure attitude. Giöbia, on the other hand, take that same cosmic spirit and polish it without losing the trip. Where Hawkwind often feel like a chaotic hyperspace jump, Giöbia glide through the void with more control, more colour, and a darker cinematic tone.
On *X-ÆON*, you still feel that Hawkwind DNA — the pulsing drive, the swirling effects, the feeling that you’re leaving orbit whether you want it or not. But Giöbia twist it into something more atmospheric and playful. The B-side *La Mort De La Terre* especially shows this difference: Hawkwind would usually blast through the cosmos; Giöbia let you float, drift, sink into it. It’s less “space battle,” more “cosmic hypnosis.”
So yes, both bands live in the same universe. But where Hawkwind defined the raw foundation of space rock, Giöbia build a strange, elegant, deeply trippy cathedral on top of it — one that glows in the dark and pulls you in without asking.
