Satellite Bay is the first studio album by the German post rock band Long Distance Calling . It was released on October 5, 2007 via Viva Hate Records.
Emergence
The seven songs on the album were written between early 2006 and early 2007. The recordings for the album took place within three and a half days in April 2007 in the Oldenburger Tonmeisterei . Guest musician on the song The Very Last Day includes singer Peter Dolving from the Swedish band The Haunted .
The idea of naming the first song on the album Jungfernflug came to bassist Jan Hoffmann in the studio. Since it is the first song on the band's first album, the song was given this name. Fire in the Mountain contains a quote from the parable Before the Law by Franz Kafka . The phrase "This door was intended only for you", in German: "This door was only intended for you" is intended to express that a person should jump over his shadow. The song The Very Last Day contains a speech sample from the film AI - Artificial Intelligence .
