i googled after hovercraft and i found something at website oddly called mogwaione. here's a description of hovercraft:
"Continuing a string of noisy posts, the band Hovercraft. Hovercraft is bedtime music for me. Strange possibly because at times they can be completely brutal, but their music goes back and forth between noisy/quiet. Not too far off from another favorite of mine, Mogwai, but at the same time nothing like Mogwai. I've heard Mogwai referred to as space rock before but that moniker would be more fitting for Hovercraft, at least to me. I guess I found out about Hovercraft because of the connection to Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder originally. I bought both full lengths on vinyl but I don't own either anymore. I used to put it on and just space out going to sleep, before the first side was finished, I was gone usually. In a way it puts me in a sort of trance. It still amazes me the amount of different noises one can get from a guitar. Before Hovercraft the noisiest thing I was into was Sonic Youth, so really this was just more of an extension for me. I never did see them play, oh how great it would be if they'd reform. I haven't seen any live video footage of them anywhere either. Their shows apparently were pretty incredible as they utilized video projectors and played before loops of old stock footage. They would play as silhouettes against a backdrop of video as fitting as the racket they were creating."
here's a video of eddie vedder of pearl jam describing his way of making music with hovercraft (from 1994/1995):
i'm interested in if anyone's heard of hovercraft or own their records? that tiny bit of music in the video and the description of the music makes me want to buy their albums.
