the word on mirror ...

after the ragged new lands, flying saucer attack finally get sensible, learn from their mistakes and spend two years fine-tuning their most diverse and yet most coherent album to date. when you listen to mirror, you hear eleven proper songs, no instrumental filler, better recording, better melodies, better singing, and yet, perhaps sadly for some, no sell out.

'proper' song stylings include: some straight acoustic, one traditional folk melody rewrite, one chemical brothers pastiche, one can rip off, one tom rapp tribute, and two jungle rhythm-based songs, all balanced together to sound like a whole journey from one end of mirror to the other.

drag city press release...

the long-awaited follow-up to further has been a long time coming -- over two years to be honest. since that acoustically-tinged offering, the sound of fsa has revolved into metallic pastures...

this new fsa sound steers through the past pop music into the direction of rhythmic loopery. bass anchors the familiar guitar fuzz, edgelessly felt through the wall of sound and giving it a beat where one was only imagined before.

previously only hinted at, this pulse booms forth in a bigger way, although still obscured by clouds.

kranky (usa) #krank 062 lp

clear horizon “clear horizon” long playing record

  • watching the sea
  • death's dance
  • for days
  • sunrise drift

  • millenium blues
  • distortion song
  • a child's eyes
  • dusk
  • open road
again, one of the things i love about kranky: nowhere in the press release below do the words “flying saucer attack” appear (despite the fact that this record is essentially a fcollaboration between david pearce and kranky mainstaple jessica bailiff).
kranky press release...
artist: clear horizon
title: clear horizon
catalog #: krank062
formats available: cd / lp
release date: nov. 17, 2003

suffused with folky textures and bleached white noise (often simultaneously), the clear horizon album collects the band's first formative recordings. both bailiff and pearce contribute vocals and guitar, with piano, various effects and occasional percussive elements entering into the mix as well. although the resulting nine songs do embody some of each member's trademark sounds; something strange, interesting and new seems to have developed in their fusion here as clear horizon.

vhf#14 flying saucer attack distance cd

this was the 2nd lp from fsa (released at the end of 1994), compiling 5 tracks from impossible to get 7"s ("soaring high," "standing stone," "oceans," "crystal shade," & "distance") with 20 mins of previously unreleased (and good) material. similar in blend to the first lp and it all hangs together very nicely as a collection.

as we wrote at the time: "attempting to fuse the irresistible force of white noise with the immovable object of mopey uk folk, fsa conjure spells that are rarely heard in such pure form - i.e. without silly affectation. impossibly beautiful stuff covering a surprisingly rich and diverse territory."

8 tracks, 40 minutes.

1993 release ; the debut from mr. dave pearce (with matt ‘third eye foundation’ elliot on the assist) ... easily one of the most influential records from the long-lost 90s, and along with my bloody valentine’s ‘loveless’ the one that, imho, stands the cruel test of time the best ...

a perfect encapsulation of the bedroom psych invasion that’s still nestling tentacles in brain-stems world wide. hasn’t aged a day. some of the most personal music ever committed to 1/32” strips of cro2 tape ...

vhf#11 flying saucer attack s/t cd

aka rural psychedelia. 1993 debut from dave pearce, with the assistance of rachel brook and matt elliot (aka third eye foundation), which in retrospect is still the touchstone for the whole bristol "scene" that emerged shortly thereafter. roughly a blend of half "songs" and half far-out instrumental doodles, the record builds an atmosphere of dour beauty that sustains itself over the course of the entire program, no small thing.

"my dreaming hill," "wish," and "the season is ours" are couched in fuzz and whispery reverb, but are beautiful and accessible tunes, able to stand on their own in any context. "popol vuh 1" and "popol vuh 2" are straight up tributes to the now much better known german masters, steeping in the hushed atmosphere of the best pv records (if not exactly the sound). the jarring cover of "the drowners" is a strange interlude in the middle of the otherwise very cosmic second half, but most people seem to like it, so what do i know?

10 tracks, 50 minutes.
