Like their namesake - the dog rocketed into orbit by the Soviets
renowned as the first living creature to exit the earth's
atmosphere - Laika travelled the spaceways, forging a distinct and
wildly experimental fusion of hip-hop, jazz, electronica, dub and
Krautrock without earthly precedent. A kind of Too Pure label
all-star team comprised of former Moonshake vocalist/programmer
Margaret Fiedler and bassist John Frenett, onetime PJ Harvey
drummer Rob Ellis and noted producer Guy Fixsen as well as ex-God
percussionist Lou Ciccotelli and saxophonist/flautist Louise
Elliott, Laika formed in London during the autumn of 1993; their
debut EP Antenna appeared the following summer. Silver Apples of
the Moon, the group's acclaimed full-length debut, followed in late
1994; after a hiatus and the departure of Frenett, Laika resurfaced
with Sounds of the Satellites in early 1997, garnering even greater
critical praise. Good Looking Blues appeared in 2000. --AMG
