Description
The self-titled debut album by the American pop-rock band Satellite Soul was released on ForeFront Records in 1997, distributed in the US by Chordant Distribution Group. The album was recorded and mixed at Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee; with Skidd Mills and Paul Ebersold producing.
This top quality four-piece band have produced a highly enjoyable CD which is packed full of great tracks. One of my favourites is «Fool», a great mix of harmonica, guitar and drums. The chorus is catchy and the lyrics are thought provoking: “It was deemed prudent we should walk upon the earth/ We should mourn our dying/ We should celebrate our births.” «He Can» is reminiscent of some All Star United or DC Talk songs and contains such lyrics as: “I thought he was a crazy man/ But he acted so cool/ Said the dumb could understand/ And the pauper could rule” – a classic line when added to the excellent sounds Satellite Soul give off throughout this CD. Another track which I enjoyed is the slower tempo «Pieces» which at first sounds as if it’s a ballad being sung by Kermit the Frog! Painfully truthful lyrics fill this track, including these which speak of escapism through music: “You can try turning the music up louder/ It numbs the heart and the mind/ And the heart disappears and beneath it the fears still reside.” Overall, this is a top album, a good blend of rock and light rock. The CD also contains videos, interviews, lyrics and much more which can be accessed on computers. [Andrew Bruff, Cross Rhythms, June 1998]
