------------------------
\"Master of the Universe\" was written by Dave Brock and Nik Turner (who sings the lead vocal), although Dave Anderson contends that he should also have received a writer's credit for writing the main riff.
It was released in Hawkwind's 1971 album ''X In Search Of Space' on United Artists Records.
It is the only track on the album that could be interpreted as lyrically having a space theme, but may also be viewed as being anthropocentric.
This was also part of the Sounds of the Seventies session and quickly became a live favourite and almost ever present in the set, appearing on numerous live albums.
The track was used by the Ford Motor company to advertise the Ford B-Max on television in 2012.
