this albumn is so repetitive and boring i'll never play it again.......2006-07-10

arrived today. listening to it now. absolutely bored to death. sweet f.a. is good and all preceding are increasingly better. start with seventh dream and stop at sweet f.a. this albumn sounds like they did too many drugs back in the day and now they're stuck creatively. not brilliant, more like lame.

Hot tip to Heaven.......2005-11-26

Utterly brilliant. Dreamy, atmospheric, dark, spacey. Just plain gorgeous. Probably the album Dave had on his iPod as he lay in his bunk before HAL got bitchy. Natacha Atlas guests on 'Ugly' with her trademark arabic callings. All the tracks have simple riffs and hooks repeating over and over, weaving in and out of chilled soundscapes and cool loops. Only weak track is the title track (reminded me of Nitzer Ebb) not a bad track just broke up the overall feel of the album, so I skip that one.
A perfect album for the mp3 player, long flights, train journeys, or staring at the ceiling. Buy it now.

If You Have to OWN only 1 L&R..........2005-04-16

Hot Trip to Heaven may be a bit of a departure from their earlier albums, but what a wild detour. When I first picked it up, I was thinking this was a short contractual obligation album, as they were a band in trouble - I mean 10 songs, so maybe 40 to 45 minutes of music? How about just over 64 minutes, with the opening track clocking at 14 minutes, and 5 more tracks over 7 minutes. The music is moody, atmospheric, pulsing, brooding, tortured and intriguing. Body and Soul, the first track (and also the 14 minute one), can put you into a trance state, and yet every time I listen to it, I hear different and subtle things that I wonder if I heard the last time. It may be the best chill out track recorded. And then the album gets under way, with twists and turns in the music that leave you wanting more. I really can't imagine my music collection without this album - I have easily listened to it 100 times, and it still fascinates me.

Everybody makes the occasional mistake.......2004-04-03

Not their best album by any means, but an important one as it defined their change in direction to the electronica age. There are a few good songs on this album, but some of the B-sides to the associated singles are better. David J once said there were 29 songs written for this album with the best 10 chosen. I'm interested in hearing the other 19 as I'm certain these weren't the best 10.

Anyway, the first half of the album starts OK, but doesn't 'gel' like it should. More like a collection of singles than anything else. The 2nd half is where it all falls apart as the writing just isn't there this time around, however there are some interesting sounds.

Love and Rocket's 2nd attempt at electronica with the "Lift" album was significantly better.

Best CD to make love to EVER!.......2003-06-11

Somewhat different, although not as much as others have stated, than the 80's music that L&R recorded, it is never the less a fantastic collection of songs that deserves repeated listens before critiquing it. With the electronica explosion in England in the early to mid nineties came L&R's foray into the field, and what a worthy effort it is. With slow and boiling rhythms underneath saxophone, guitar and synthesizer, most of the first 3 songs start at a snails pace but continue in an indian like texture and tone. The moodiness and otherworldly quality of this Cd will bring passion from places you never knew existed. "Body and Soul" is the opening track and sets the mood for the rest of the cd. Ambient at times and truly breathtaking at others. Let the Hot trip to heaven wash over you like ocean waves on a summer night.

LaR's evil twin made this album.......2002-07-17

LaR is my favorite band. this is the only album by them i have sold to ... . they just don't seem to be cut out for this techno music. at least on this album they had practice so they could do an incredibly better job on lift. i do like two of the songs on the album but i forgot the names. daniel ash is more a metal kind of guy...right?

A change in direction.......1998-11-16

This cd is a pivitol turning point in the direction the band is going. It is the beginning of thier experimentation into electronic rather than rock and roll, and was overall a great album (although only my third favorite by the band).

Product Description

'A Hot Trip To Heaven', the long awaited second album from Nottingham's Neon Heights. Over the last year or so the buzz surrounding the band has been tangibly increasing as the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Rob Da Bank, Pete Tong, Chris Coco, Eddy Temple-Morris, James Hyman, Andrew Collins, Ali B, Pathaan, Update, DJ, iDJ, Mixmag, Fabric, Fatboy Slim, Groove Armada have all lined up to acknowledge a group about whom Jockey Slut wrote "...if The Beatles had gone Balearic they would have sounded like this." The album opens with last year`s defining single 'Listen To The Music'. Something of a manifesto for the band, this slice of primetime pyschedelic beat-pop found itself in all manner of end of year lists, Pete Tong played it twice in the same show and it still refuses to budge from the record boxes of some of the world's finest eclectic djs. Add 14 shiny but sharp pieces of bliss and you're ready to take the trip: shake a leg and bend an ear to the country-soul hoedown that is 'City Of Love,` spare a tear for the plaintive torch of 'Woman Upstairs,' get down to the busted hip-hop pop of 'Mig 21', feel blue with 'Feelin Blue' or rise in the aisle with the gospel goodness of album closer 'Sad Guitar'. Listen to the music. The album will be preceded by a 12" release of Neon Height`s extraordinary and already heralded by the likes of Pete Tong and Rob Da Bank ("Record Of The Week" on The Blue Room, Radio 1) take on "That`s Entertainment", The Jam classic with Crazy Penis, Magik Johnson and amillionsons providing a scintillating array of top drawer mixes all for the price of an NME.

Album Description

Neon Heights (Tom Bailey, Mandisa Dumezweni, Cal Gibson and Simon White) create music for grown-ups appealing on so many levels. Take the Beatles-esque "Listen To The Music", which sounds like a pastiche of George Harrison and the All Saints' "Never Ever". In fact, the vocal is lifted from an obscure BBC recording from the wonderfully named Fearless Fred's Amazing Animal Band, but is abstract enough to satisfy even the most eclectic of tastes. The music here is typified by rich instrumentation, folk-like soulful vocals that even Carole King would be proud of, and an instinctively groovy vibe which infuses everything they attach their name to. A Hot Trip To Heaven is an album you'll instantly reach for after a night out to readjust your equilibrium and make sense of it all. With beats at best languid, musicianship of the highest order, and songs of palatable depth, I can already see the accolades starting to mount. Along with the aforementioned Crazy Penis, Neon Heights are one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the British dance scene since Massive Attack. Shiva. 2005.
