DeBaser reviews portray Flying Saucer Attack as a Bristol-based, David Pearce–led project that blends shoegaze, psychedelia and heavy feedback. The self-titled 1993 debut (aka "Rural Psychedelia") is widely praised for its acid, enveloping sound. Later releases divide opinion: some listeners find spiritual calm and beauty, others call certain records listless drone. Overall the reception is polarizing but centered on distinctive home-recorded textures.

For:Fans of shoegaze, psychedelic and experimental guitar music; listeners of My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, The Jesus and Mary Chain.

 "Are you ready to fly through quantum clouds? To sail stormy seas of psychedelic equations? To play with clusters of bits?"

 An album devoid of ideas, and not very interesting.
