1. AllMusic -Jesse Jarnow
Like the Disco Biscuits' Uncivilized Area, also released in 1998, Interplanetary Escape Vehicle -- Sound Tribe Sector 9's debut release -- captures the band on the cusp of a progression from its more innocuous jam band roots to an electronic-influenced sound. The feel of the all-instrumental disc is bright and upbeat, generally relying on straightforward funk and jazz rhythms to create a base for improvisation. The disc's opening sequence of "Moon Socket" into "Hubble," along with the closing "Evasive Maneuvers," provides a glimpse into what the band has since evolved into.
