Bouncing off the Satellites
''Bouncing off the Satellites'' is the fourth studio album by new wave band The B-52's, released on September 8, 1986. It was recorded in July 1985 and was produced by Tony Mansfield. Guitarist Ricky Wilson died of AIDS after the album was completed, but several months prior to the album's release. With the band too distraught to tour, the album received minimal promotion and failed to yield any hits despite some stations initially giving good airplay to "Summer of Love". Summer Of Love had created a buzz, but the band's record company did not promote the album properly due to the band's lack of TV or promotional appearances.
The album was seen as darker and more melancholy than the band's previous work, having more ballads. In terms of magazine coverage, It was a critical and commercial failure. However, said magazines were always unfairly critical of the band at the time, and many fans (and the band) love the album.
== Studio sessions ==
Recording sessions for ''Bouncing off the Satellites'' began in July 1985. A backwards message was deliberately inserted into the album by The B-52's. The message occurs in the song "Detour Thru Your Mind", towards the end of the passage. If Fred Schneider's psychedelic talking is played backwards, he can be heard saying "I buried my parakeet in the backyard. Oh no, you're playing the record backwards. Watch out, you might ruin your needle."〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Backmask Online )〕
During the recording, guitarist Ricky Wilson had been suffering from AIDS.〔(AIDS and the Arts: A Lost Generation - Newsweek Health - MSNBC.com )〕 None of the other band members other than Strickland were aware of his illness. Strickland later stated that Wilson "was very protective of Cindy and his family." 〔https://billmichalski.wordpress.com/2015/06/19/bounce-it-off-your-satellite〕〔 In an interview, fellow band member Kate Pierson stated that Wilson had kept his illness secret from his fellow band members because he "did not want anyone to worry about him or fuss about him."〔(EMP: Experience Music Project: Kate Pierson talking about Ricky Wilson )〕 On October 12, 1985, Wilson finally succumbed to the illness, at the age of 32.〔 Devastated, the band went into seclusion and did not tour to promote the album.〔(Allmusic Guide Bio for The B-52s )〕 Nevertheless, ''Bouncing Off the Satellites'' eventually reached 85 on the Billboard 200.〔(Allmusic Guide Chart Information for ''Bouncing Off the Satellites'' )〕 Cindy went into a deep depression after her brother's death, while Keith retreated to Woodstock, New York, and Kate and Fred stayed in New York City. The band felt that it would be impossible to continue without Ricky.
