Ultra Wave is the fifth album released by funk musician Bootsy Collins. It was released in October 1980 by Warner Bros. Records. It is the first album credited solely to Bootsy Collins, as opposed to his previous releases, which were credited to Bootsy's Rubber Band. Like Collins' previous album, This Boot is Made for Fonk-N, Ultra Wave showcases a more experimental and progressive approach.
Ultra Wave was produced by George Clinton and Bootsy Collins, except for three songs that were produced only by Collins ("Is That My Song?", "Fat Cat", and "Sound Crack"). It was recorded at the same time as the album Sweat Band by Sweat Band, a Bootsy Collins-led project that had issued one album for CBS/Uncle Jam Records.
In 2007, "Ultra Wave" was licensed through Rhino Records and reissued through the Collectors Choice music service.
The single version of "F-Encounter" features a solo rap by Collins that was not included on the album and has never been released on CD.
The B Side of "Mug Push" contained a non-LP track entitled "Scenery" that was released on the CD compilation Back in the Day: The Best of Bootsy.
