Satellite Paradiso – John Ashton (ex-Psychedelic Furs)

John Ashton has been one of my lifelong guitar heroes. As one of the founders of the Psychedelic Furs, he gave us “Pretty in Pink,” “Love My Way,” “Heaven” and “The Ghost in You,” amongst many others. So imagine my surprise when he not only accepted my friend request on Facebook, but started turning up on my wall. One day, gathering up my courage, I dropped him a line to see if he might be interested in playing on my Secret Agent project. He asked for a sample track, which I sent, and he said yes! “…And by the way, I have this project of my own called Satellite Paradiso.

The production values are great, but they’re four completely different songs, each with completely different lyrics and tempos than this one. Can you help us?” “Sure. I can give you ONE HOUR. Put everything in a bag and send it to me. I’ll figure it out.” [Two hours later] “Here’s your video.” Elizabeth: “It’s absolutely incredible. I’m amazed.” 🙂
