Search - Flying Saucer Attack :: New Lands

Dreamy blissed out heaven through a shimmering haze of noise

"FSA's danciest release to date. A comment which might seem completely erroneous, but they've always had a hypnotic, irresistible sound. And now they have regular percussion that impels you to swing your head around in a demented tribalistic rhythm. Swathes and swathes of guitar noise, fuzz and these mesmerising beats come at you demolishing any form of thought you had and lead your mind into a nether region of unrealised and undefined dreams, images and a simple delight."

Flying Saucer Attack - 'New Lands' (Drag City)

"FSA, was by this point just one member, Dave Pearce for Rachel Brooks had already left. FSA is based in Bristol, England. What made me FIRST aware of FSA is hearing this disc's tune "Forever" on a community radio station. I knew that I wanted to obtain this CD. The opener "Past" sounds great, but it ends very suddenly. The songs "Present", "Up In Her Eyes", and "Respect" seem to fuse together with Syd Barrett-like vocals and some noisy feedback. "The Sea" is a very cool psychedelic track. So, how would I describe FSA's sound? Perhaps tidbits of Pink Floyd,Legendary Pink Dots and some of the complexity of Can. In my opinion anyway, one of the BEST drone CD's ever made. Right along side with their 'In Search Of Spaces' release."

"This is my least favourite Flying Saucer Attack album. The aspect I like best is the heaviness of the beats and bass on the first few tracks, which give them a weird, home-made kind of power. This album is kind of ugly, but it's totally unique."
