***Experiment Below*** is the second and final [studio album](/source/Studio_album) by the instrumental [experimental rock](/source/Experimental_rock) group [Hovercraft](/source/Hovercraft_(band)). It was released on September 22, 1998, through [Blast First](/source/Blast_First)/[Mute Records](/source/Mute_Records).

## Overview

In 1998, drummer Ric Peterson joined Hovercraft as "Dash 11". His much harder-hitting, more visceral style was the apparent catalyst in the band's shift from ethereal 15-minute songs to more concise, angular arrangements. The album's track "Epoxy" was premiered on [Pearl Jam](/source/Pearl_Jam)'s *Monkeywrench Radio* broadcast, on January 31, 1998.[1] One year in the making, *Experiment Below* was Hovercraft's final album.[2] Jason Kaufman of [Allmusic](/source/Allmusic) said, "This is challenging music that certainly has its rewards for those patient enough to hang around."[3]
