Satellite Party - Ultra Payloaded
Reviewed by mike
Perry Farrell brought in the big guns for Satellite Party's debut Ultra Payloaded. Featuring the likes of Extreme's Nuno Bettencourt and New Order's Peter Hook, they're at their finest when they're at their weirdest on tunes like "Wish Upon a Dog Star," or "The Solutionists," or when Bettencourt unleashes one of his epic space-prog solos on "Mr. Sunshine." Even with occasional weak spots such as "Awesome" and "Milky Ave.," Ultra Payloaded is an uplifting record that is as fun as it is far ranging. [www.satelliteparty.com]
