LOVE AND ROCKETS
Hot Trip To Heaven
1994 Beggars Banquet
Few bands ever return from a five-year sabbatical, and
fewer still come back to create something vital and new
after such an extended hibernation. By the early 1990s, it
appeared Love and Rockets had splintered irrevocably into
solo careers, but the threesome weren't quitters, having
shown similar survival instincts when they initially founded
their successor to Bauhaus. Beyond the simple surprise of
resurrection, Love and Rockets' Hot Trip to Heaven is
a radical rethink, opening the trio's sound to admit ambient
and electronic influences. "Body and Soul," the Orb-like
opener — clocking in at fourteen-plus hypnotic minutes
— signals the change with pulsing cycles of
electrotones and whispered vocals, then reaches an endless,
chiming main phase of repetitive psychedelic melodies that
pay homage to two longstanding Love and Rockets touchstones,
Brian Eno and the Beatles. A penchant for diversity works
hand in hand with the band's fresh, creative ideas, from the
mysterious chugging dance beat of "Ugly" to the torchy,
sitar-laden "No Worries" and the Bolan-meets-Seal
atmospherics of "Trip and Glide" (gilded with wordless
vocals by Natacha Atlas on loan from Transglobal
Underground). Adorned with arousing samples and a distorted
rap, "This Heaven" flirts with Stereo MCs-style alterna-
house, while the brooding bassline and tingling keys of
"Voodoo Baby" strongly recall David Lynch composer Angelo
Badalamenti. With a vocal by bassist David J that is both
wiry and wry, "Be the Revolution" circles itself
mesmerizingly. Not until the title track, halfway through
the album, does Daniel Ash even unholster his signature fuzz
guitar (actually fuzz bass).
