Review
Solid LP from the talented keyboardist/pianist/organist Ronnie Foster. This album represents his style post-Blue Note. Sonically, this is where his sound took off I would say…he really began experimenting with synthesizers, exploring a crisp sound, and including more vocals into his work. He was very successful with this release, Love Satellite. Foster is really good friends with Stevie Wonder, and he contributed to the production of this record, along with other great studio musicians such as drummer Harvey Mason. They all come together to create a great sound here, have a listen…
Check out the sound!

Design
I’m always a fan of a pre-photoshop image manipulation of some sort. This cover was created in 1978, notice the overlay technique of the profile shot, versus the straight-forward shot. Simple, but very graphic! The cream border is a nice elegant touch, and the wide typeface living within it jives nicely. This is an effective cover, and there’s something about it suggesting speed, or some sort of sonic sound (maybe that’s just me).
