Universal Culture Shock/Undiscovered Numbers & Colors is the debut full-length studio album by American alternative metal band Foreign Objects. Recorded in West Chester, Pennsylvania, it was released by Distant Recordings on October 31, 2004. The collection includes new album Universal Culture Shock and 1995 extended play (EP) The Undiscovered Numbers & Colors.
Band members Deron Miller and Jess Margera recorded Universal Culture Shock with guitarist James Murphy and producer John Teague between 2003 and 2004. Teague also remixed and remastered the band's debut EP, which made up the second half of the release. The collection was later included as part of the 2009 Distant box set Distant Recordings 15 Years, and "Test It Out" was released as a single.
The Undiscovered Numbers & Colors was originally recorded in the summer of 1995 at Trix Trax Recording Studios in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and released by Distant Recordings on October 1, 1995. For its 2004 release, it was remixed and remastered.
Universal Culture Shock was recorded between October 2003 and the spring of 2004 at co-producer John Teague's studio in West Chester, Pennsylvania; some recordings originate from 1998 sessions. In addition to the core lineup of Deron Miller and Jess Margera, former Death guitarist James Murphy (with whom Miller was then working on Death tribute album Within the Mind: In Homage to the Musical Legacy of Chuck Schuldiner) played lead guitar on the album. Miller praised Murphy's contributions, claiming they made the album "a thousand times better".
