It feels like they were going for a more hardcore sound than their previous records which makes sense being released in 94. Some of the tracks I find skippable. That being said, Mass Appeal, Blowin' Up the Spot and Suckas Need Bodyguards is the strongest string of songs on this record for me and Code of the Streets is a great track. "[+]Reply

Overall, live drums and percussion, together with guitars and samples dominate, resulting in a complexly-layered and polyrhythmic blend of beats and diverse analogue sounds. With 'Sounds Of The Satellites', Laika produced one of the most original and accomplished albums of the 1990s. "[+]Reply
"One of my favorite albums by Mr.Thompson, it includes my favorite song by him, "1952 Vincent Black Lightning". This song is an acoustic masterpiece!"Reply

My Apple Music player has a mind of its own. It thinks it reigns predominant over the music apps on my Apple iBook. So sometimes, when I’m listening to an album on spotify AND also downloading some mp3s in the background, it will just start playing too. And there’s this blending of the two sounds. The two tracks bleeding into each other as they pour forth my speakers in my living room. Most of the time it sounds like utter crap. Total noise. And I quickly notice & rectify it by pausing Apple player. BUT every now & then, it just sounds like the coolest thing I’ve heard. Like the aural equivalent of peanut butter and banana. All those different tastes in my mouth. Different yet compatible. Like I know it’s two sources, but it just works.
And that’s Disco Inferno’s DI Goes Pop. It’s hard for me to believe that these tracks weren’t conjured together by some AI computer in which you give it TWO different band prompts.
Anyways, I hear a lot of stuff in these tracks. A lot of different bands. But the three that really stand out for me the most are Joy Division, The Duritti Column and The Swell Maps. And I guess some English electronica band. Either The Orb or Orbital. Not sure which. Yet, D.I. Goes Pop sounds nothing like those bands really.
One of those few albums that sounds like nothing else either before or since.

"Nice indie folk album. Similar to the Velvet Underground albums after Cale left. I like it, but I don´t think it´s so much underrated: It´s just good but not overwhelming, the songs are not strong enough."Reply

Each album sounds like the last in it's instruments and vocal delivery.
This Desert Life has a similar spirit as the debut and is a tighter album than Recovering the Satellites. That is why I consider it better than Satellite's personally.
But grand scheme, bigger than just my opinion review it lands 3rd best
Colorblind is classically depressing. Hanging Around is memorable single.
Amy Hit the Atmosphere is a better Counting Crow ballad. All My Friends is good.
Mrs. Potters Lullabye is in the vein of other road tripping 5 minute Crow's songs.
Only dud for me is I Wish I was A Girl because I don't wish that and don't relate. And the lyrics are kind of condescending to the gender just because Duritz is complaining he can't do what they do. Poor him
It's a good album but fans like me start to realize that Duritz doesn't want to help himself around his fears of loneliness and depression. He isn't getting any wiser around his place in the world and the music isn't either.
The band doesn't grow and neither does he. Which is sad because in his younger days you relate to his struggles in his lyrics. More than the average rock star you want to root for him to be happy and figure it out.
All the more tragic that he doesnt't, and worse, sounds like he exploits it all to make successful music around his brand he has created."[+]Reply
"The best album of Heroes del Silencio. Best produced would be Senderos de Traicion, but EEDV is a heavier album plenty of extraordinary songs, almost any of them.

"Enjoyable alternative hip-hop/funky style of their own. Liked this enough to buy three more of their cd's, all in a similar vein. Strong start that unfortunately tails off at the end but enough here to listen to on a fairly regular basis."Reply
