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

By A Customer

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

By	Dennis Hodges (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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...

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant fuzziness, December 6, 2004

By	Jose Angeles "some dork" (Chazzwuzzles USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
