Flying Saucer Attack - Futher...

While sitting at my desk last night basically wasting my time on the Internet I found myself listening to the Flying Saucer Attack album, Further. Sometimes I just flat out don’t listen to some albums enough, and this would be one of them. It’s terrible too because this is quite honestly of the most beautiful albums ever made and I consistently neglect to put it in my CD player.

Further when compared to the majority of the Flying Saucer Attack’s other output is the middle ground of sorts. The distortion isn’t over whelming while absolutely laying waste to your ears and it isn’t minimal to the point of losing interest. On Further, David Pearce managed to take his ambient experiment and find the perfect balance between all of that. The resulting effect is beautiful melodies that are eventually melted down with white noise that seemingly creeps out of nowhere. Combine that with the subtle hints of acoustic guitars, distant tribal drumming, rain falling, and soft male/female vocals and it becomes something completely trance inducing and mind altering. Wherever this takes or puts you, it will in all likelihood be good.

Whether it be dawn, dusk, raining, or snowing this album pretty much fits it all. Pearce may or may not have known it at the time, but when making Further he definitely hit on something that is practically perfection and hasn’t been touched upon in quite sometime by a lot of different artists or groups that have undoubtedly tried.
