Sounds of the Satellites

Sounds of the Satellites is the second studio album by the English band Laika. It was released on 24 February 1997 by Too Pure.

Critical reception
Rob Brunner of Entertainment Weekly said, "Sounds of the Satellites' entrancing blend of heavy bass, gurgling electronics, and moody melodies – sung with low-key intensity by former Moonshaker Margaret Fiedler – is rich enough to hold your attention even when it doesn't move your feet." Jason Ankeny of AllMusic wrote that the album "is even better than its predecessor, a simultaneous expansion of the band's sonic palette and a brilliant refinement of their past innovations."
