First recorded in 1971, Master of the Universe has become one of Hawkwind's defining tracks. The original studio recording appeared on the band's second album, In Search of Space. It was written by Nik Turner and Dave Brock and featured Turner on vocals, Brock on guitar, former Amon Düül II member Dave Anderson on bass, Del Dettmar and Dik Mik on synthesizers and Terry Ollis on drums. By the time Hawkwind went on the Space Ritual tour, Anderson had departed and Lemmy had joined the band, with his partnership with Brock giving the track a much heavier, driving sound. Master of the Universe continues to feature regularly in Hawkwind's live performances to the present day.
