TRANSMISSIONS FROM THE SATELLITE HEART is a perfect example of post-modern ear-candy: sour, rough and skewed on the outside, lusciously sweet and logically structure-less on the inside. It is a Beatles record with Eno at the controls. While the guitar tones are more akin to laser beams than to standard Gibsons, and the effects-laden vocals casually melt into any form of incidental noise (keyboards, feedback, whatever), songs like "Turn It On" and "She Don't Use Jelly" are nothing more than pure pop songs for now (1990s) people. And just as the best of the psychedelic/sonic pioneers--the Lips' obvious fore-fathers--realized that to creatively buck the system they must first embrace its established traditions, Wayne Coyne and company balance extended jams like "Moth In The Incubator" and "Slow Nerve Action" with the simple acoustic folk of "*******." Such moments lift TRANSMISSIONS FROM THE SATELLITE HEART from being just a good record to being masterpiece.
Full title - Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. 1993 album featuring 'She Don't Use Jelly'.
Recorded at Studio Seven, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma from January to February 1993.
Flaming Lips: Wayne Coyne (vocals, guitar); Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins, Ronald Jones.
Rolling Stone (10/28/93, p.81) - 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...unlike previous Flaming Lips releases, [TRANSMISSIONS FROM THE SATELLITE HEART] doesn't make the listener work as hard to enjoy the journey....The Flaming Lips join the ranks of rock's most endearing eccentrics..."
Spin (8/93, p.22) - "...open up your ears for their sixth full-length album. The Lips specialize in noisy yet rather melodic guitar pop..."
Q (9/93, p.84) - 3 Stars - Good
Melody Maker (7/3/93, p.28) - "...They've hit the daisy right on the head...frazzling and dazzling..."
Mojo (Publisher) (7/02, p.60) - "...The curtain of chaos parts and the Lips' pop sense begins to focus..."
NME (Magazine) (6/19/93, p.34) - 7 - Very Good - "...another fine statement of lack of intent. A cracking, cracked record....A delicious, ridiculous stomp..."

Transmissions From The Satellie Heart Music Review
Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   SAtellite Heart
Flaming Lips are one of those amazing bands who make such a unique sound that though you can point out influenses you can't deny they're one of a kind. They are pinoneers in today's music as much as they were in 1993. I enjoy all the albums but Transmissions From the Satellite Heart is one of the most interesting, catchy (without being annoying) and just all around perfect albums I've ever heard by anyone. Add to that sound quality that should be used as a reference- bouncy bass matched with equally bouncy drums and an overall (I'll say it again) perfect mix.

 A Whirl of their own
The album takes off right away and takes you along for the static trip in and all over the modern american and outerspace wasteland, with voices and instruments shooting in different directions and occasionally striking out beautiful harmonies, melodies, and mysteries. The Flaming Lips have got to be a quintessential love it or hate it band. If the are your bag, then how can you resist songs with characters who have planets wrapped up in them? If they are not, then you will hate the whining voices and nail on the chalkboard guitars. Still, I believe the songcraft is solid enough for the songs to stand with only acoustic guitars, but the noise is half the package, at least.

An Easy Route In
If you're going to start listening to the Flaming Lips today, this should be the first album you pick up, followed quickly by "Clouds Taste Metallic" and "The Soft Bulletin." Everyone has heard 'that tangerine song,' but what everyone hasn't heard are the amazing choruses and disorganized noises of 'Be My Head,' 'Pilot Can at The Queer of God,' or 'Superhumans.' It's not suicide rock, but it sure as heck isn't bubble gum, either. Flaming Lips are a bit of an aquired taste, but it's like a virus, once you're hooked, you're stuck.
