CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Known for their flushed-face, dilated-pupil sonic extravaganzas, Flying Saucer Attack continue down their late-1990s road of chilling out with Mirror. It's a gentle, almost poetic recording at times. It's also at times a thorny bath of noise, cloaking David Pearce and Rachel Brook in an aura of opaque sound that curiously pushes the ear to seek out the imperceptible. There are hints of a dance beat, but they're off so far in the distance that you feel caught outside the gloomy factory under a slate-grey sky, toe-tapping to the beat of machinery. That's of course the art of Flying Saucer Attack, and for the atmospheres alone, Mirror is worth its weight. It plays over you, drawing you and Pearce into a kind of laconic staring contest that the songs always win. --Andrew Bartlett Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsSimply Stunning Sara Grosky | Ann Arbor, Michigan | 04/21/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This isn't for the faint of heart. If you like those simple 1-2-3 alterna-bands, don't look here. Beautiful, noisy, shimmering layers of guitar (and two beautiful not-so-noisy short tracks) that can make my night anytime. This is even better than FSA's last one. Viva la wall of sound!" Flying Saucer Attack - 'Mirror' (Drag City) Mike Reed | USA | 05/28/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "Follow-up to the UK's duo 'New Lands' CD(see my review).Believe this was FSA's last studio album.First thing one would notice about 'Mirror' is that it's more acoustic than past efforts.Tracks that were the most impressive include the opener "Space(1999)",the eight-minute "Islands"(disc's lengthiest cut),"Winter Song" and "Chemicals".Maybe not the best work by guitarists/vocalists Dave Pearce and Rachel Brook,but still a decent swansong and worth a listen.So-so space pop by a artist that used to be considered more like drone/noise space rock." Hypnotic Brett Lloyd | Newport News, Virginia United States | 01/05/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "Not so much a whole album as it is two EPs. The first half is acoustic/psychedelic, while the other half is more dancey/shoegaze type stuff. (with the two middle tracks tying the two halves together.) Maybe not their best work, but it's worth the price for Wintersong alone..."
