Overview

In 1998, drummer Ric Peterson joined Hovercraft as "Dash 11". His much harder-hitting, more visceral style was the apparent catalyst in the band's shift from ethereal 15-minute songs to more concise, angular arrangements. The album's track "Epoxy" was premiered on Pearl Jam's Monkeywrench Radio broadcast, on January 31, 1998.[3] One year in the making, Experiment Below was Hovercraft's final album.[4] Jason Kaufman of Allmusic said, "This is challenging music that certainly has its rewards for those patient enough to hang around."[1]
