As one might expect from a band that includes such slogans as "CDs destroy music" on its CD spines, Bristol's Flying Saucer Attack suffers from a serious aversion to the high fidelity of digital audio. At the core of FSA's fluctuating lineup are avowed vinyl devotees David Pearce and Rachel Brook, and vinyl has always been the medium of choice for their home-recorded, distortion-drenched musings. With FSA's begrudging consent, 1993's eponymous debut was issued Stateside on CD. But the winsome fuzz and hypnagogic haze that envelop FSA's music beg for the warmth, crackle, and amiable flutter of analog anti-fidelity.
1994's superb DISTANCE again concedes to the band's CD-minded fans, compiling early, coveted seven-inch singles and adding more than 20 minutes of unreleased material. The disc represents the two sides of FSA's self-described "rural psychedelia" even more effectively than FLYING SAUCER ATTACK. Pearce's sticky-sweet whisper melts over "Standing Stone," "Crystal Shade," and "Soaring High"--feedback-swaddled, razorblades-and-honey dream-pop of a caliber unheard since the heyday of A.R. Kane or Slowdive. Conversely, FSA pastorals like "Oceans" and "Instrumental Wish" draw inspiration from idyllic folk and from the soundscaping vapor-trails blazed by Klaus Schulze, evoking the swirling, supernatural character of the English countryside's mist and morning light.
