Product Review

Reissue of their 1993 debut album from the British Experimental Space Rock band. Since revealed as a loosely collective effort centered around Bristol's David Pearce, Rachel Brook, and Third Eye Foundation (Matt Elliott), FSA's self-titled album marked the dawning of a new age of defiantly lo-fi "Post-Rock" experimentation. FSA's sharply crafted songs, though obscured by avalanches of feedback and torrents of metallic distortion, immediately set the project apart from the swelling ranks of English and American "home-tapers." Remarkably, time and revelation have done little to diffuse the primal, supremely mysterious aura of Flying Saucer Attack. VHF. 2010.
