Flying Saucer Attack "Further" (Drag City/VHF)
I have a pretty lackadaisical attitude toward picking up new FSA product
(this one's been out for a year or so, right?) but it always goes down a
treat. If the first one was the "rock album" and Distance was the
"ambient album" then this must be the "folk album" (he said,
overgeneralizing wildly.) Many of the songs are at heart plaintive little
acoustic-guitar ditties with HUGE SLABS OF WILDLY ECHOING AND LOOPING
SAWTOOTH FEEDBACK on top, thus providing that mixture of delicate
fragility and horrendous violence that we all dig so much (he said,
stating an objective fact.)
Very appropriate music to read Delany's "Dhalgren" to, I must say, since
that's what I've been doing. [Any other fans of this book want to chat
about it, send me private mail...]
