Despite being only a five-song E.P., Starflyer 59's "Fell In Love at 22" is a brilliant 26-minutes worth of music. Released in 1998 shortly after the full-length album "The Fashion Focus", "Fell In Love at 22" is Starflyer at their most laid-back and for lack of a better word, their most 'ambient'.
The E.P.'s title track also appears on "The Fashion Focus" album and is a beautiful love ballad. "We Want It Bad" is another ballad with a slightly moodier vibe to it. "E.P. Nights" sounds like a mid-80's alternative rock piece in the style of The Cure or Joy Division (especially with the haunting keyboard lines).
The centerpiece of the whole E.P. is the instrumental "Traffic Jam". At 14-minutes, it is still the longest piece of music recorded by Starflyer. The guitar vibrato and slow-paced rhythm gives the music a lazy surf-pop vibe which makes this piece ideal for long drives along the beach. The additional traffic sounds further enhance the overall mood.
After this epic, comes the beautiful laid back closing piece "Samson" with more surf-guitar and soft vocals. Definitely a tender closer.
Despite this E.P. being out-of-print and being rather difficult to find, "Fell In Love at 22" is worth searching out as it includes some of Starflyer 59's most intriguing music. So, if you don't own it yet, now's the time to.

Worth it alone for "Traffic Jam".

5.0 out of 5 stars Starflyer 59 continues it's musical melody journey., October 7, 1999

This review is from: Fell in Love at 22 (Audio CD)

This is another brillant release from the musical genius of Jason Martin and his Starflyer 59 machine. All the tracks are great from "Fell in Love at 22" to "Sampson" and the melodic "These are the nights". Starflyer proves again that it is lightyears ahead of the music industry with it's trance and dream-like vocals plus hypnotic instrumentals. If you have never heard of Starflyer 59, then it's time you listen to this brillant release.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb for anyone who enjoys quality music, May 23, 1999

Starfyler 59 has created a great little snack for fans and those who have always been afraid to spend $15 on a band that they were not sure of. YOU CANNOT GO wrong with this album. The great thing about this little Ep is that all the songs have a slightly different flavor and you wont find your self only listening to one or two songs over and over, but the whole thing over and over and over....
