"Sleeping Satellite" is a song by British singer-songwriter Tasmin Archer, released in September 1992, by EMI and SBK Records, as the first single from her debut album, Great Expectations (1992). The song was written by Archer with John Beck and John Hughes, and produced by Julian Mendelsohn and Paul Wickens. It received favorable reviews from music critics and became an international hit. "Sleeping Satellite" peaked at number one in the United Kingdom, Greece, Ireland, and Israel, and reached the top 20 in 13 other countries, as well as numbers 32 and 24 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Cash Box Top 100 in June 1993. Two different music videos were produced to promote the single.

Lyrics and music

Although "Sleeping Satellite" was first released in 1992, Archer and her co-writers, John Beck and John Hughes, actually wrote and composed the song in the late 1980s. It was only when Archer got a record deal that the song saw the light of day.

On the song, John Hughes and Robbie McIntosh played guitar, with John Beck and Paul Wickens playing keyboards. The drummer was Graham Broadhead, while Gary Maughan played the Fairlight. Archer sings backing vocals on the track along with Tessa Niles and Carol Kenyon. The lyrics of the song refer to the 1968–1972 Apollo missions, characterised as "man's greatest adventure"; the "sleeping satellite" is the Moon. In a retrospective interview in 2021 Archer stated that the song was not "a criticism of man’s arrogance in leaving Earth, but more about the lack of further space exploration that might have led to a better understanding of ecological issues".{{cite news |last=Bass |first=George |title=How we made: Sleeping Satellite by Tasmin Archer |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/may/24/tasmin-archer-how-we-made-sleeping-satellite-space-no-1 |work=The Guardian |date=24 May 2021 |access-date=27 November 2023}}

Critical reception

In his review of "Sleeping Satellite", Steve Morse from The Boston Globe wrote, "Heady stuff for a newcomer, but Archer sounds timeless with her deep, mind-imprinting voice."Morse, Steve (20 May 1993). "Tasmin Archer – Great Expectations". p. 8. The Boston Globe. Kent Zimmerman from the Gavin Report named it "a treasure of a song from England", adding, "As the seconds tick away, the song keeps right on building, with guitars, keyboards and a fantastic chorus."{{cite magazine|first= Kent |last= Zimmerman |title= New Releases: Album |magazine= Gavin Report |date= 12 February 1993 |page= 76 |access-date= 16 October 2020 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Gavin-Report/90/93/Gavin-Report-1993-02-12.pdf}} In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton considered it a "classy ballad from a new singer-songwriter".{{cite web|last=Masterton|first=James|title=Week Ending November 21st 1992|url=https://chart-watch.uk/archives/1992/week-ending-november-21st-1992|website=Chart Watch UK|date=16 November 1992|access-date=12 September 2021|author-link=James Masterton}} Pan-European magazine Music & Media complimented it as a "brilliant soulful pop song with a slightly spacey production". A reviewer from Music Week called it "stylish", adding that it's "both commercial and credible and should prompt a higher than average take-up for her aptly-named debut album".{{cite magazine|url= https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1992/MW-1992-10-17.pdf |title= Mainstream: Singles |magazine= Music Week |date= 17 October 1992 |page= 20 |access-date= 2 October 2020}}

Ian McCann from New Musical Express said, "There's no hit here, but given the right bullshit production she could stick out the next 'Damn I Wish Etc'".{{cite magazine|first=Ian|last=McCann|title=Singles|magazine=New Musical Express|date=18 September 1992|page=18|access-date=20 February 2023|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/nothingelseon/52698525961/}} Another NME editor, Nancy Culp, stated, "Where she scores is when she manages something which is different, such as the haunting 'Sleeping Satellite'".{{cite magazine|first=Nancy|last=Culp|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/nothingelseon/52737195148/|title=Long Play|magazine=NME|date=7 November 1992|page=34|access-date=13 March 2023}} Gerald Martinez from New Sunday Times wrote, "While the lyrics were evocative and interesting, it was the overall feel of the music, plus her low evocative voice, that had a quietly propulsive rhythm that made it special."{{cite magazine|first=Gerald|last=Martinez|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=owFZAAAAIBAJ|title=CDB — strong on voice, harmony|magazine=New Sunday Times|date=28 April 1998|page=15|access-date=24 October 2021}} Nick Duerden from Select described it as "sultry" and "soulful".{{cite magazine|url=http://selectmagazinescans.monkeon.co.uk/showpage.php?file=wp-content/uploads/2014/09/albums51.jpg|first=Nick|last=Duerden|title=Reviews: New Albums|magazine=Select|date=1 December 1992|page=73|access-date=3 March 2020}} Charles Aaron from Spin commented, "A British-Jamaican soul stylist (shades of Sade and Caron Wheeler) who makes her velvety voice go scratchy so we'll go weak in the knees, such as on the purportedly eco-conscious line: "Still we try to justify the waste for a taste of man's greatest adventure."

=Retrospective response=

Retrospectively, AllMusic editor Roch Parisien complimented the song as a "hypnotic, fashionably retro-psych-soul beauty". In 2011, Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger wrote, "This, it seems to me, is part of what 'Sleeping Satellite'{{'}}s articulating: a sense of disappointment bordering on betrayal that having dreamed of the Moon – or indeed, because it got there – humanity now seems confined to a slowly boiling Earth. This is potent, raw stuff and very difficult indeed to cover effectively in a pop song. And in truth Archer doesn't cover it effectively – the song's ambiguous and flowery, its emotional kick comes from Archer's self-belief more than anything you can read into it. But I have to say I like the idea that she tried."{{cite web|first=Tom|last=Ewing|url=http://freakytrigger.co.uk/popular/2011/10/tasmin-archer-sleeping-satellite/|title=Tasmin Archer – "Sleeping Satellite"|publisher=Freaky Trigger|access-date=4 March 2020}}

In 2012, Porcys ranked the song number 59 in their list of "100 Singles 1990–1999", naming it a "ideal pop-soul ballad", adding that "technically, 'Sleeping Satellite' is an elegant blend of acoustics with synthetics, starting from the chic cascade, unloading the pomposity of a piece on a bridge built of psychedelic keyboard variations."{{cite web|title=100 Singli 1990–1999|url=http://www.porcys.com/ranking/100-singli-1990-1999/5/|website=Porcys|date=20 August 2012|language=pl|access-date=2 April 2020}}

Chart performance

"Sleeping Satellite" was released in the United Kingdom on 1 September 1992 and swiftly rose up the charts, replacing the Shamen's "Ebeneezer Goode" at number one in October. It stayed at the top for two weeks before being dethroned by Boyz II Men's "End of the Road". It also topped the charts in neighbouring Ireland, spending four weeks at number one. It remains Archer's only top-ten hit in both the UK and Ireland to date.

Outside the UK and Ireland, "Sleeping Satellite" topped the chart in Greece and was a top-10 hit in numerous other European countries, including France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland. To date, it is Archer's only charting single in the United States, peaking at numbers 32 and 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Cash Box Top 100 in June 1993, and number 24 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. In neighbouring Canada, "Sleeping Satellite" reached number six.

Music video

Two different music videos were produced to promote the single; a European version and a US version. The European music video was directed by London-based director Zanna.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHfGDsBw2pc |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211219/aHfGDsBw2pc |archive-date=19 December 2021 |url-status=live|title=tasmin archer – sleeping satellite ( viva tv )|date=26 July 2020 |publisher=YouTube|access-date=23 August 2020}}{{cbignore}}
