Hook the Captain - Washington DC Hook - Washington DC
Transcendental Medication
by Pat Ferris

Hook (aka 'the Captain') is a techno-trance artist hailing from Washington DC that is bridging the gaps between electronica and pop. Dreamy vocals over layers of different instruments and rhythms draw you into a meditative, intoxicating world.

Trance is trance...identified by the keyboard-generated 'thump-thump-thump' of an electronic bass drum sample, but the defining difference between trance artists is what one can do with a back beat. Hook has over two solid hours of music that has attracted a large online following, generating over 25,000 downloads at his MP3.com page.

Sounding like an electronic milkshake of Nine Inch Nails, Genesis and Radiohead, I could see Hook's music suiting everything from a rave to the soundtrack of the next Quake version. Some of the tracks were obviously engineered for the dance-floor, but Hook's creative inspirations show through in a variety of unexpected 'hooks' in his arrangments, giving diversity and texture beyond the 'trance' realm.
