Forty years ago, the band had seen the dissolution of its classic “No Sleep ‘Til Hammersmith” lineup accompanied by a pair of sub-par studio albums, and had been largely given up for dead.

But the band’s leader, Lemmy Kilmister, was nothing if not a survivor. He regrouped with a pair of blazing guitarists and thunderous ex-Saxon drummer Pete Gill and, for this album, joined forces with the unexpected choice of producer Bill Laswell, who was well known in experimental-leaning New York rock/jazz circles — and producer Herbie Hancock’s left-field 1983 hit “Rockit” — but seemed an odd fit for Motorhead.

The result of this unlikely union was “Orgasmatron,” certainly Motorhead’s most experimental album and one that drew a polarized reaction from many fans and the band itself — the press materials for this reissue euphemistically state, “The album’s production was the subject of much discussion among the band and their fans” — who said its mix was too cluttered and took the band too far from the basics.

But personally speaking, I loved it and still do. In an era when music fans were much more tribal than today, Motorhead were one of the rare bands who were respected in both punk and heavy metal circles.

Like AC/DC, their earlier music was rock and roll stripped down to muscle and bone — scorching guitars, piledriving drums and Lemmy’s vein-bulging roar of a voice — like a Terminator version of Chuck Berry. And on “Orgasmatron,” we got all of that in a more-adventurous sonic setting: The songs are classic Motorhead, but hazy guitar overdubs, percussion and effects swoop in and out of the mix, especially on the closing title track, a cauldron of seething guitars, driving drums and Lemmy’s voice, which is laden with effects that make him sound like Darth Vader and Vecna morphed together.
