Like their namesake -- the dog rocketed into orbit by the Soviets renowned as the first living creature to exit the earth's atmosphere -- Laika traveled the spaceways, forging a distinct and wildly experimental fusion of hip-hop, jazz, electronica, dub, and Krautrock without earthly precedent. Somewhat of a <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Too+Pure%22">Too Pure</a> label all-star team comprised of former <a href="spotify:artist:5wRMAVogaNWmArSGRcAMYl">Moonshake</a> vocalist/programmer Margaret Fiedler and bassist John Frenett, onetime <a href="spotify:artist:12VaqyEhgwDRuFfEqbnrpz">PJ Harvey</a> drummer <a href="spotify:artist:5R82QCnKzr9OwbXqaLh5KW">Rob Ellis</a>, and noted producer Guy Fixsen as well as ex-<a href="spotify:artist:2rg0G4NyvLU2Q22FSXvW0Z">God</a> percussionist Lou Ciccotelli and saxophonist/flutist <a href="spotify:artist:3qaf1UIU7faqA2PcDroyWX">Louise Elliott</a>, 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 early 1995; after a hiatus, Laika resurfaced with Sounds of the Satellites in early 1997, garnering even greater critical praise. Good Looking Blues appeared in 2000, followed by Wherever I Am I Am What Is Missing in 2003. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
