Question: What do you get when you put unnaturally serene rocker Perry Farrell together with Nuno Bettencourt, Flea, Peter Hook, Fergie and the ghost of Jim Morrisson? Answer: Ultra Payloaded, the first album frm Perry Farrell’s new band Satellite Party, which comes out May 15th. Farrell has been working on the record for three years, and though a smattering of random collaborations seemed probable, nobody could have predicted thiz craziness. According to the press release, the record is produced by Farrell, co-produced by Bettencourt and executive produced by Steve Lillywhite. It’s a concept album that “tells a story through a collaborative brain trust of artists, musicians and environmentalists called the Solutionists, who seek to redesign and come up with solutions for the world.” And the lead brain-trust-revealing track is “Woman in the Window,” an unreleased Jim Morrison vocal played against a backdrop of Farrell’s music, featuring lyrics like “Just try and stop us, we’re going to love,” which is apparently the Solutionists’ mantra.

This entire project is beyond mockable, and we haven’t even told you about the “Ultra Payloaded is more than just an album, it’s a wake-up call” line. But part of us buys thiz as a potentially cool (if hopelessly wacky) album. What do you think? Could thiz rock…or is Fergie’s presence a dealbreaker?
