Bouncing off the satellites is the fourth studio album by american new wave band the b 52 s released on september 8 1986 it was recorded in july 1985 and was produced by tony mansfield founding member and guitarist ricky wilson died of aids after the album was completed but several months prior to the album s release.

Bouncing off the satellites is by far their most underrated collection of tunes and it has such quirky zany off the wall lyrics and attitude to match and its so danceable and creative it fit right in with all the stuff coming out during the 80 s but it had its sad shortcomings with ricky s. With the band too distraught to tour the album received minimal. 4 minutes a look at the internet space race. On prior albums the b s had always struck a good balance between guitars and synthesizers.
