In “Ultra Payloaded” the already 50-year-old Perry Farrell celebrates life. Life as a new beginning and a creative process - in the name of the power of love, doing it in the best way, with the help of many guest appearances. Wilder rock fans may stay still hungry when it comes to dynamics, as we know it from the claimed to be godfathers of alternative music Jane's Addiction. In exchange for that we have this fresh pop-rock-retro-funky sound from the late 80’s that fits perfectly and gives the album a very variable character. Nostalgia’s been put down for good with songs like “Hard Life Easy” and mostly the punky “Insanity Rains”. For the well-hidden concept we find out from “The Solutionists” - as a sign for becoming aware in social positioning and decisiveness in conscious revolution in search of a solution for the issues of the future, the one we've already lived to see. In this global warming related initiative help is coming from Thievery Corporation. In the long list of guests, featuring John Frusciante and Flea от Red Hot Chili Peppers, Peter Hook with his hard to be mistaken Joy Division bass in the opening track, ex- Pearl Jam’s Jack Irons, and even Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas, we find this Bulgarian name Marin Kirov, responsible for the piano in the first released single, “Wish Upon a Dog Star”. Except for all these appearances of well and not so well known heroes, as a co-producer and multiinstrumentalist takes part Nuno Bettencourt, famous from the time he spent with Boston rockers Extreme. The greatest of all hits on the album though is “Only Love, Let's Celebrate”, calling to dancing on the streets. Of an intoxicated with joy ballad like “Awesome” even someone like David Bowie could get really envious, and the last in line in the apotheosis of love is the "participation" of the voice of one of the gurus of love - the one and only late Mr. Jim Morrison - in “Woman in the Window”. All in all, “Ultra Payloaded” is really a great and adequate album to the summer of love 40 years later.
