Heligoland is a Trip hop act. Their sound grew out of Freddie Mercury, Mark Hollis, Pink Floyd, Camper Van Beethoven and Dirty Three. Those roots explain a lot about how Heligoland arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Pacific UV, Experimental Aircraft, Scarlet Youth, Brief Candles and Pluramon, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Radiohead, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 29 connections around Heligoland, reaching back through Freddie Mercury and forward to Radiohead.
