Great lost album by a unique band!
E. Klosterman | Midwest USA | 08/17/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great rock album, it's a shame these guys weren't properly supported during their prime. The first 9 tracks are amazing psych-rock, kinda like the Velvet Underground if they teamed up with the Silver Apples, or maybe kinda like Hawkwind playing the Stooges, or Pink Floyd playing the Troggs, or.....you get the idea. Catchy melodies and chord structures amongst fast and intense guitar freakouts and frantic bubbling analog electronic noises. "Bullet Proof Nothing" could've been a hit, and "Illegal Bodies" and "Nazi Apocalypse" feature wild freakouts at their best. A perfect cocktail of experimental electronic psychedelia with gritty, noisy proto-punk. The bonus tracks show the band after they started to lose steam, playing more pop-oriented punk that's less mind-expanding but not bad. If you ever wondered what really early Syd-era Pink Floyd would've turned out to be after jamming with the Velvets (a-ha, I think i've got the comparison pretty close!) be sure to check this one out!"

"Let me first say I am 22. I had the fortune of seeing Edgar Breau live about 2 weeks before Cyborgs Revisited was re-released. I had NO idea who Simply Saucer was or that he was the singer/main songwriter from them. I enjoyed his set but there were a couple of songs that blew me away. After he was done I told him that I thought his set was really good but that their was one song that just rattled my brain. We talked for a minute or two and that was that. Now I just purchased Cyborgs Revisited about 24 hours ago. It has blown my mind again and again. I have never heard anyone EVER play guitar like the solos in the first three songs. just amazing. the song that blew me away was "Nazi Apocalypce" by the way. So yes after the rambling I highly suggest anyone into anykind of experimental music be it noise or speed just check it out. This might be the CD that sets your head on fire."
(R) EVOLUTION

"You take ideas, you combine them with other ideas and they evolve. Simply Saucer is the logical evolution of late sixties/early seventies ideas, even better it pre-dates punk so they can mix frenzied guitar driven machine music with twisted psychedelics and weird sounds without being self-conscious about it. They rock like the Stones/Chocolate Watchband, freakout like the Stooges/Velvets and basically do everything a good band should. It might be nearly 30 years since the material was recorded it's a new record because you never heard it before.
The result of all this sounds great, no excuses, take nothing into consideration, even the recording quality is pretty good.
Buy it, you won't feel cheated, play it and you'll enjoy it."
