Search - Flying Saucer Attack :: Goodbye

Short and sweet

"Clocking in at barely 30 minutes, this is my favorite FSA project (seeing as they are working here with Roy Montgomery). Like the title of the CD, this music implies the idea of a journey... a journey far away. The three songs start off with the most earth-shattering rumble and leads you to the usual wall-of-sound that is FSA. Then, through alternating moments of peace and sonic dreams, we are lead through the landscapes of our mind, going further and further still. This is a trip made into music, the perfect soundtrack to your travelling thoughts. These three songs, as a whole, are the tightest thing in the FSA repertoire. Seeing that even their compilation CDs ("Distance" & "Chorus") are very tight units by themselves, that is saying a lot about this work."

Flying Saucer Attack - 'Goodbye/And Goodbye/Whole Day' (VHF)

"As it turns out,this release is actually an EP.Thought that since the duo worked with New Zealand experimental guitarist/composer Roy Montgomery on this CD,that 'Goodbye...' should be good.It is,but this 3-track effort marks the departure of Rachel Brooks,who was Dave Pearce's(who is,essentially FSA)partner in the band since the start.Each tune is,within itself charming,well played and a bit noisy.Track listing:"Goodbye"(4:48),"And Goodbye"(8:48)-recorded live and "The Whole Day"(9:58).A decent post-rock/ambient effort."
