 RAPT 4505 FLYING SAUCER ATTACK / JESSAMINE split 7" single.
 Enraptured records, Dom, 8a Penwith Rd, Southfields, London SW18 4QF

 2500 pressed, 500 on clear vinyl.  The FSA track, "At Night", is a
 NEW STUDIO RECORDING!!! Hooray! It's in the "acoustic strumming with
 bacground rumbling and whooshing" mode, one of those sad folky songs
 like most of "Further".  The Jessamine track, "From Hereto and
 Otherwise" is a bit like the latter part of their album - an oddball
 instrumental with one-finger organ, strange guitar noises and
 hyperactive drumming.  This 7" is magnificent - I was expecting the FSA
 track to be one of their live noise pieces, but the appearance of a new
 recording gives me hope for the future.  Magnog and Roy Montgomery will
 release singles on this label soon, Windy & Carl, Amp, Flowchart, Third
 Eye Foundation and Alpha Stone have done, and there's a Silver Apples
 tribute as well.
