From Transmissions from the Satellite Heart (1993). Transmissions from the Satellite Heart is the sixth studio album by American rock band the Flaming Lips, released in 1993 by Warner Bros. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a driven alternative-rock pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
