  • Summary: This is the debut solo release for former Jane's Addiction/Porno For Pyros frontman Perry Farrell. Many of the tracks are more electronic in nature than his previous output with the two bands. Dave Navarro, Jon Brion, and the Mad Professor are among the guest contributors.

  1. Oddly enough, he not only makes it work, he makes it a whopping success.
  2. A few dopey passes at world music are forgiven, as he still can't sing.

    Lots of rock stars have proclaimed their kinship for DJ culture, but Perry Farrell's passion seems to be one of the more genuine. [Jul 2001, p.82]

    He's arriving a bit late to the party, as his union of the electronic and organic is yesterday's news to anyone residing within a few miles of the cutting edge.

    The fusion is sweet yet corny... and occasionally it's just baffling. [Aug 2001, p.132]

    Trades smarm-rock for half-baked one-world electro-pop, with predictably unctuous results. [17 Aug 2001, p.72]
  7. The disappointing result is mostly a collection of thin-sounding electronic drum beats and trippy effects that, were it not for Farrell's vocal accompaniment, would be altogether forgettable.

    Just bought this record and it's on heavy rotation!! This is just something else!! IT's beautiful!! I believe this album is highly Just bought this record and it's on heavy rotation!! This is just something else!! IT's beautiful!! I believe this album is highly under appreciated!! You never find a second to this album. It's just a big trip through 10 different musicstyles and it sounds great. Even that is worth a big 10!! I give it 9 because 10 cannot be surpassed... I believ that 10 rating must go to the coming album of Perry Farrell with his new invention: The Satellite Party; that will be another great party!! Another thing; Song yet to be Sung is a very positive and spiritual cd. Somewhere I read it's Perry's 'Ray of light/Madonna' but only 10 times better!! ITs LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!! Expand
