“Saturn 5” by Inspiral Carpets

"Saturn 5" comes from Devil Hopping, the fourth studio album by British indie band Inspiral Carpets, released by Mute on 7 March 1994, and the writing credit goes to the band as a unit: Clint Boon, Craig Gill, Tom Hingley, Graham Lambert and Martyn Walsh. Pascal Gabriel produced it, Clif Norrell engineered, and Dave Buchanan assisted on both the recording and the mix.

Gabriel left his mark on more than the sound, since the album's odd title came from the way he said the word "developing". Critics split on the record: the Chicago Tribune heard driving guitars and a booming Walsh bass line nudging the band toward a punchier rock sound, while Trouser Press dismissed the music as nearly lifeless. It was also the end of the road with the label, as Mute dropped them once it was out.
