Billy Mackenzie

★★★ Satellite Life: Recordings 1994-96 CHERRY RED. CD

The Associate’s mid-’90s work, mostly unreleased in his lifetime and only ever spottily available, gets a 3-CD box. Too uneven for casual listeners, but fans will dig 16 unreleased cuts (Tallahatchie Pass a gem), while the Paul Haig co-write Give Me Time sounds like a lost Bond theme. KC
