5.0 out of 5 stars hypnotic fuzz at is best, May 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Flying Saucer Attack (Audio CD)

flying saucer attack's self titled(AKA rural psychedelia) release is a hypnotic gem. the theme of the album seems to be the exploration of new realms and soundscapes in music. the cd is consistently perfect throughout its entirety with the strong points being tracks like "my dreaming hill", "wish", and "the drowners". flying saucer attack had combined the dreaminess of my bloody valentine, eroticism of slowdive, and the space rock vibe of subarachnoid space to make a truly wonderful musical masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Noise and Melody; Melody and Noise, September 14, 2002

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...

to describe this record, one must assume that one has fallen asleep while enjoying it. completely relaxing and noisy at the same time, every chance i have to hear it, i end up drifting into a half conscious state, waking up to fininsh it off. luscious waves and noise remind me a bit of the great spacemen 3, with out the rock sensibility, but it works just fine as its own thing.
