Saturns Pattern is comprised of a strong nine song cycle of futuristic sounds and styles. Drums were recorded by Ben Gordelier, keyboards and backing vocals by Andy Crofts both from Weller’s band, additional guitar parts were contributed by Steve Cradock (Paul Weller Band, Ocean Colour Scene), Josh McClorey (The Strypes), and Steve Brooks, with whom Weller formed the short-lived original line-up of The Jam in 1972.
“It’s a little bit of a leap into the unknown really,” says Weller. “I don’t know where it will take me… It’s got a lot of movement to it. I think that’s it’s going to be a bit of an inspiration to people,” he recently quoted in Q Magazine (U.K.).
