Love And Rockets is the seminal, groundbreaking trio of Daniel Ash (vocals and guitar), David J (vocals
and bass) and Kevin Haskins (drums). Formed in 1985 after the first split of their band Bauhaus, Love and
Rockets provided a clean slate and an opportunity to plumb the depths of imagination and influences.

Love and Rockets fifth album Hot Trip To Heaven is strikingly different from anything previous. The album has a diverse range of influences, from twisted lounge jazz to ambient trance. With additional vocals by the celebrated Egyptian-Belgian singer Natacha Atlas, the album's world music influences are evident.

A critical piece of their catalog, many have noted that the album is brave and radical. New York Magazine said it was "hypnotic, glistening, dark and crashing." The album was ahead of its time, pre-dating the electronic music revolution by a few years.
