1993's Transmissions From The Satellite Heart served as the Flaming Lips' second release for Warner Bros. and first with guitarist Ronald Jones and drummer Steven Drozd. The band's transition from indie noisemakers to pop provocateurs was magnified tenfold here by the out of nowhere smash "She Don't Use Jelly," which was not only their first charting radio hit but heavily rotated on MTV. No one trick pony, the ambitious 11-song set balances further pop fare like "Turn It On" and extended numbers like "Moth In The Incubator" and "Slow Nerve Action," with an acoustic folk cut in "Plastic Jesus," all with a post-modern style and grace.
