Love And Rockets was formed in 1985, following the split from Bauhaus by Daniel Ash (vocals and guitar), David J (vocals and bass) and Kevin Haskins (drums). Objective: to wipe the slate clean and probe the imagination of the trio without limit to draw new sounds. The band's fifth album, Hot Trip To Heaven, is startlingly different from anything that has come before it and features a wide range of influences, from twisted lounge jazz to ambient trance. With a feat from Egyptian-Belgian singer Natacha Atlas, the world music influences of the album are evident. New York Magazine called it "hypnotic, shimmering, dark and shattering" and in 1994 the album was ahead of its time, predating the electronic music revolution by a few years. Citing Primal Scream's Screamadelica, Underwold's Dub no bass with my headman, The Orb and Aphex Twin as key comparisons, Hot Trip To Heaven spawned two singles: the hypnotic This Heaven and the sprawling Body and Soul.
