2 out of 5 stars Shoegaze noise yang to Slowdive's yin often falls under it's distorted weight.......2006-07-26

2 1/2


This fuzzed-out, psychedelic wave of distortion aesthetic does help to capture some amazing moments, though in this album's case I must argue that those moments do not outweigh the burden of living up to these production values throughout the entire disc. Often way to shrill, the feedback only lends itself to profound contrast when there is an effective and identifiable melody to contrast with, otherwise it often undermines the details found throughout the subtle sonic manipulations. Although the pure noisescapes can keep listeners afloat enough and even overwelm in their simplicity, it is clear that this act works best when both sides of the coin are played with equal measure and intensity, rather then the obsession to consume the listener by drowning them out with it's low-fi reverb.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant fuzziness.......2004-12-07

On my first listen, I was going "huh?" I was hearing this really cool psychadellic spaced-out alternative indie rock (think Porcupine Tree meets Pink Floyd meets Mogwai). But mysterious noisy static keyboard effects were layered over this music. I was wondering if the keyboard were suppose to have this much feedback. I was asking myself that question until the music grew on me. I didn't care anymore, I realized how briiliant these experimental rockers were. What sounded like a mistake was actually an elaborately structured new expression of rock music. My main beef with this album is the times when the filler tracks play. There are tracks where the band is just playing around with obscure sounds, no real melody, just a wall of noise. As for the vocals, it's kind of buried and soft spoken yet isn't boring. It's not like the singer is just blurting out a bunch of words. He puts effort in making the words flow at ease with the music and it's sort of mellow too. Beautiful haunting voice is what it is. This is an album that manages to be real calm but also crazy, the atmosphere fills with blurry fuzz. They don't call this "Flying Saucer Attack" for nothing because I felt a flying saucer was attacking the music.

5 out of 5 stars Flying Saucer Attack - self-titled (VHF Records).......2004-09-11

This is the band's classic 1993 debut CD,often sub-titled as 'Rural Psychedelia'.Along side of their New Zealand import NOW out-of-print 'In Search Of Spaces' title and their 1998 effort 'New Lands',this is pretty much the duo's best work.FSA was made up of two members,Dave Pearce and Rachel Brook.FSA was part experimental,part noisy space rock.A genre that doesn't work for just anyone,but it does well for FSA.My favorite tracks are "My Dreaming Hill","Popol Vuh 2",the short psych-like piece "Still" and "The Season Is Ours".Much worthy of repeated plays.Should appeal to fans of Bardo Pond,Godspeed You Black Emperor,Roy Mongomery and Cul De Sac.

5 out of 5 stars Noise and Melody; Melody and Noise.......2002-09-14

Flying Saucer Attack, with their first release, capture a truly unique blend of melody and sound. Not since the Jesus and Mary Chain released Psyhcocandy, has an album walked the line so well between pop and noise. One of the greatest psychedelic albums of all time, Dave Pierce and friends comb both the depths and the heights of what it means to be alive. If Nick Drake had owned a distortion pedal and effects processor, this might have been the result. One of my top 10 favorite albums. In my opinion a must own...
