I think so. Laika. Mid 90s electro-organic wonderfulness that others are only now catching up to. Spastic, frenetic, playful, melodic and groovy all at the same time. What a combo. Essential, but seems little known outside of music geek circles? Close to my favorite of the 90s. Their debut was great, and really knocked me out at a time when I really wanted to be knocked out, but this second album is a near perfectly sublime mix of both Margaret Fiedler and Guy Fixsen vocals. Really unparalleled what they were able to create. Never overshadowed by some of their more popular peers like Portishead and Massive Attack, just not as well known, and with a sound uniquely their own. The imagery and sense of atmosphere and depth is just amazing. Sounded as fresh last night and this morning as when I anxiously bought it in 1997.I remember one time while driving from northern California down to Phoenix, and the musical highlight of the trip came at about 6 hours in when I turned off I-5 down by Los Angeles and headed towards Pasadena. It was overcast and getting dark, and misting a little too. After tuning off I had slipped Sounds of the Satellites into the player and it just fit the mood and scenery so well, blossoming into a huge and colorful sound throughout the car and my mind and the night. Colorful neon lights along the road all distorted by the mist, seemed almost to glimmer with the music. Trippy to be sure, but a really nice feel. Almost gave me the feeling that I wanted to drive all night. Almost :)
