The Moray Eels Eat the Space Needle is the second album by the American band Space Needle, released in 1997. [6] [7] Its title is a tribute to a 1968 album by the Holy Modal Rounders. [8] The album artwork is by the British artist Roger Dean. [9]
Entertainment Weekly wrote: "Whereas Space Needle genuinely broke new ground with the eerie, distortion-drenched sound collages of their debut, they now seem a bizarre parody of themselves, liberally mixing several of the most self-indulgent musical genres—from free jazz to prog rock—into one overlong, soporific outing." [10] The Austin Chronicle thought that "Space Needle just can't seem to make up their mind about whether they want to be cacophonous feedback pushers or subtle purveyors of sweet melody." [4]
Spin deemed the album "a handful of pretty 'lullabies' encased in an infinitely longer handful of space rock instrumentals." [11]
