With the band too distraught to tour the album received minimal.

The b 52 s bouncing off the satellites.

Considering their loss it s not surprising that the b 52 s don t sound entirely focused throughout the record and it s easy to forgive them for the momentary loss of direction. 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. Two years after the release of whammy guitarist ricky wilson died of aids a shattering blow for the b 52 s the group recouped and finished bouncing off the satellites the album they were recording when wilson died.
