Flying Saucer Attack - "Distance"

Yesterday, my buddy Richard (who will hopefully be doing some writing for this blog!) picked up a CD I hadn't heard for awhile, and showed it to me with excitement he couldn't contain. He was broke due to buying the CD and he didn't care. It was Flying Saucer Attack and suddenly, I remembered.
Hearing Flying Saucer Attack for the first time was like getting hit in the head with a pile of laser beam shooting bricks. My jaw hit the ground and stayed there for awhile, while my mind shut down and just went with it. It was the first time in awhile that I heard something new and didn't instantly analyze it; my mind got wiped and all that was left was giddy, senseless joy. For the first time in awhile, I couldn't find a single element I didn't enjoy, not a single flaw. I was a FSA junkie from that point on and I remain so to this day.
Its just.... noisey, spacey, shoegazy fucking brilliance. Its like white noise making love to mopey folk while trying to conjure magic. Agh. Words fail me. You really gotta listen to get it. So ambient and beautiful, it takes you to some seriously rad places. This band had serious DIY ethic too, recording almost entirely from home and collaborating with a large variety of others. They were AWESOME. If I could only bring 10 albums with me to a desert island somewhere, 4 of them would be Flying Saucer Attack CD's.
Enjoy!
