Satellite Party was an alternative rock band formed by Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell following the break-up of Jane's Addiction in 2004. Ultra Payloaded.

Anyone who knows Perry Farrell even remotely knows that he’s an ambitious guy. After all, he popularized the mega-sized outdoor festival format in North America in the early ’90’s with Lollapalooza. He’s also responsible for one of the best and most ground-breaking alternative rock bands ever to emerge from the United States – Jane’s Addiction. The guy has game, and he has never been afraid to use it. Because of his huge magnetism, he has always attracted other musicians who want to work with him. After the dissolution of Jane’s Addiction in 2003, Perry hooked up with Extreme’s very own guitar god, Nuno Bettencourt to form an ambitious new band – Satellite Party – in 2007.

Nuno and Perry were the driving creative forces behind this new project, with Nuno performing multiple instruments on Satellite Party’s first (and so far only) album, Ultra Payloaded. Both Perry and Nuno co-produced the record, with Steve Lillywhite presiding as ultra-overlord producer. The list of musical contributors behind the album quickly grew to become very long, including such surprise guests as New Order’s Peter Hook, to Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas, to John Frusciante and Flea of the Chili Peppers, as well as notable electronic acts Hybrid and Thievery Corporation, and the list goes on. Even long dead Jim Morrison somehow manages to guest appear on this friggin’ album. Now, despite being jam packed with A-list musicians of all kinds, I can’t help but get the impression that this album was a rebound album from the start. Jane’s Addiction once again broke up in late 2003, and, a few years later, we have this album crop up by a brand new band (Satellite Party) that is so ambitious that it seems impossible to live up to its promise. This album kind of tries it all.

It tries to be a concept album, with liner notes that speak of a loose plot of the Solutionists, a party in the sky hosted by “Jim”, and the convenient mentioning of many of the song titles featured on this party to tie it all together. But, if you ask me, this plot is a bit half baked, and doesn’t really add much to the album. Meaning, if there is a concept going on here, feel free to ignore itlike, completely. This album ain’t no “Kilroy was Here”, I tell ya.

And it’s certainly not Ritual de lo Habitual, which also presents us with notes written by Perry. The way I hear this album, it’s not a complete shitshow, but it’s also nowhere near as grand as it purports to be. I think the truth is that Ultra Payloaded is somewhere in the middle – between totally awesome, and kind of ok. It depends what day I listen to it. See, it changes, and it confuses me by being both good and bad.

Here’s the boys – Perry and Nuno – on one of Satellite Party’s relatively rare live dates back in To my ear, it has some of the same problems that Strays had. These problems are a bit hard for me to describe, but, in a nutshell – there’s nothing wrong with Ultra Payloaded, and yet somehow everything is wrong with it.

Yeah, I know that doesn’t sound too sensible, but it has something to do with the fact that at a certain point Jane’s Addiction became (or worse – *tried* to become) a mainstream rock act. And I have a bit of a problem with these types of acts. They’re just a bit toosmooth. It’s all just a bit toocontrolled, safe, neatly balanced. That said, in theory, Ultra Payloaded sounds almost like the best thing ever to me, and me especially. For instance, I like movies that everyone else hates (or are completely indifferent to), and I hate movies that everyone else loves (although this isn’t a movie, granted).

For instance, I hated High Fidelity, but I love The Stoned Age. Anyway, nevermind. Ultra Payloaded has all sorts of awesome guest stars, and it rocks pretty hard when you turn it up real loud. The music is fairly interesting, and Perry sounds like Perry, doing what he likes to do.

Nonton Film Streaming Sekirei 3 Tamat. His voice sounds like it’s in fine form here, and maybe more versitile than usual. Songs like “Wish Upon A Dog Star”, which features a very hook-y bassline (pun intended), Porno for Pyros’ Peter DiStefano on rhythm guitar, Nuno on leads, and programming by Welsh electronic band, Hybrid. And yet, as cool as this song sort of is, it lacks the quirky organic quality that early Jane’s Addiction had. This is much closer to “contemporary” rock music (ahh, not that!!), and has that vibe of a bunch of people with no particular chemistry thrown into the same room to write a song that they have no interest in writing, really.
