HMz Think Smashing Pumpkings but noiser but also more atmospheric. Favorite track: Popol Vuh 1.

T. Klotzbücher One of the most subtle shoegaze albums I ever listened to. I like the song title "My dreaming hill" as it fits so well to the atmosphere the album creates.

certain trips This is one of the dreamiest, beautiful, ambitious albums I've ever had to pleasure to indulge myself in. Incredibly immersive lo fi recordings with distortion that will cover you like a blanket. It set a certain mood for me as I listened to it driving into the country as the sun just barely peaked over the horizon as the sky emulated this amazing album art. There are very few albums that transport me to a certain memory like this does Favorite track: Wish.

brantly It 2 degrees with heavy snow here in Minneapolis today, it whites so much out, leaving a disorienting, dreamy view of the cold city outside, (as seen from my warm house inside {as through a 'Cod's eye' or other filmy lens}) FSA's debut LP is a pretty good encapsulation of that description...narcotic-shoegaze-space-indie-drone-classic!

about

Aka Rural Psychedelia, Flying Saucer Attack’s first album was released in 1993 after a couple of instantly sold-out singles. Released at the height of the shoegaze boom, the album is a blend of memorable fuzzed out songs and far-out instrumental doodles, sidestepping the rock bombast of many contemporaries in favor of a home-made aesthetic. FSA’s blend of razor-edged static, softly sung melody, and echoing atmospherics builds an atmosphere of dour beauty that sustains itself over the course of the entire program. "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, steeped in the hushed atmosphere of the best Vuh records (if not exactly the sound).

Rachel left in 1995 to focus on Movietone; David soldiered on to the millennium before a long silence fell, broken in 2015 with Instrumentals 2015. ... more
