They Say...
Peak Hour continues in the acid house vein that Psychic TV pioneered on Jack the Tab, though if anything the psychedelic elements are even stronger on this record. Electro beats and trippy electronic sounds conspire with weird vocal loops and other effects to make some of the most psychedelic dance music since early Funkadelic. Most tracks are upbeat full-throttle rhythm numbers, though not quite as fast on the bpms as the bone-crunching rhythms of the current techno rave music which grew out of acid house. Though Peak Hour is a little more cohesive in its blissed-out grooves than the pseudo-compilations Jack the Tab and Ultrahouse, it doesn't have quite as much bite and humor, though it still throws in a few curve balls. "Dreamlined" is a collage of weird noises and soundbites, with some electronic sci-fi blips and swoops thrown in. "Pain" has some heavily distorted singing, while "Re-Mind" starts off in dance-rhythm mode only to speed up at the end into hyper-rhythms. It makes for some interesting dance music that also works as "head" music, though maybe not the most innovative work that Psychic TV has done. [The import featured alternate cover art and a bonus remix.]
