Following the release of the EPs ''Screaming Life'' (1987), and ''Fopp'' (1988), both for the Sub Pop record label, Soundgarden signed with the independent record label SST and went to work on its first full-length studio album. The resulting album contained elements of heavy metal, psychedelic rock and hardcore punk. The band supported the album with a tour of the United States as well as its first overseas tour. In 1990, the album earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Metal Performance. ==Recording== The album was recorded in spring 1988 in Seattle, Washington and Newberg, Oregon with producer Drew Canulette. Frontman Chris Cornell said that during the recording sessions the band wasn't on the same page with Canulette. He said, "Material-wise we went through the process that we always do, but the producer wasn't used to the sound we wanted and didn't know what was happening in Seattle."〔Alexander, Phil. "Soundgarden". ''Raw''. 1989.〕 He later said that "we made a huge mistake with ''Ultramega OK'', because we left our home surroundings and people we'd been involved with and used this producer that really did affect our album in a kind of negative way. The producer was suggested by SST because they could get a good deal. I regret it, because in terms of material, it should have been one of the best records we ever did. It actually slowed down our momentum a little bit because it didn't really sound like us."〔"Yeah! I'm a Moody Bastard". ''Kerrang!''. August 19, 1995.〕 Veteran Seattle producer Jack Endino, who also produced Soundgarden's first EP, ''Screaming Life'', was in the process of re-mixing the album, and actually completed a rough mix of "Flower". But, due to the band wanting to move on and the financial costs involved with repressing and redistributing the record, it was put on hold.〔Nickson, Chris. ''New Metal Crown'' 1995. p. 89.〕 The project has since been resumed by Jack Endino and Kim Thayil.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SOUNDGARDEN Planning To Reissue Remixed First Album )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ultramega OK」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
