Review

The debut album by the Seattle trio Hovercraft isn't exactly everyone's bottle of Nyquil. With five instrumentals spread out over nearly 65 minutes, even dedicated space-rock fans might find their attention wandering at times. The grooves range from lulling to ethereal to downright somnambulistic. And as might be expected from a set of improvised music recorded live in one take, more than a few ideas crash and burn on the launch pad. On the other hand, if modern lo-fi psychedelic excursions are your thing, Hovercraft may well be your ticket to the dark side of the moon. The trippy combo first came together in 1993, and its members prefer to be known by the ridiculous robotic handles of Campbell 2000 (guitar), Sadie 7 (bass), and Karl 3-30 (drums), in part to avoid critics constantly noting that Sadie is in fact Mrs. Eddie Vedder. (Oops, sorry, did it again.) But while listeners might accuse Hovercraft of sounding like Hawkwind circa In Search of Space no one will ever mistake droning ditties like "quiet room (44)" and "de-orbit burn" for "Evenflow" or "Jeremy." If you ask me, Campbell ought to drop the pseudonym, come forward, and take a bow, because he's an imaginative guitarist with an impressive arsenal of weird tones at his command. Using homemade tape-loop devices, jury-rigged effects pedals, and "absolutely nothing digital" (a point of pride), Campbell conjures the sounds of satellites making love, radar systems retching, and synthesizers waking up in the morning. Even if akathisia drags in spots, Campbell makes it worth your while to stay with it, because let's face it: It ain't every day you hear those sorts of things.
