Transmissions From the Satellite Heart by The Flaming Lips

Transmissions from the Satellite Heart, the Flaming Lips' sixth album, came out on Warner Bros. in 1993 with a reshuffled lineup: Jonathan Donahue had left for Mercury Rev and Nathan Roberts was gone too, so in came guitarist Ronald Jones and drummer Steven Drozd. The Oklahoma City band had come up on garage punk and noise pop, and here the fuzz gets bent into warped, sugar-rush psychedelia.

"She Don't Use Jelly" is the goofy, lovable centrepiece, and it turned into the band's first charting radio hit only after its video showed up on Beavis and Butt-Head nearly a year after the record came out. "Turn It On" got 2 videos, one of them filmed in a laundromat. By 2002 the album had sold 300,000 copies worldwide.
