Vinyl LP pressing. First ever US vinyl of the second album by Bristol's Flying Saucer Attack. This edition of the LP is produced in full collaboration with FSA/Dave Pearce. Originally released on VHF as a compact disc at the end of 1994, this was the second FSA album, compiling five tracks from impossible-to-get seven-inches with twenty minutes of previously unreleased (and good) material. Similar in blend to the band's first LP, the songs hang together as a collection that improves on the individual singles. The two proper singles that make up half of Distance - Soaring High / Standing Stone and Crystal Shade / Distance were instant collectables upon their release, so this album was compiled to make the songs permanently available. Soaring High and Crystal Shade are jagged bits of fuzzed-out pop genius; tracks like the mutant concrete techno of Distance and the two lengthy glissando workouts on Oceans and Oceans II offset the more conventional tunes, upping the overall impact as a whole album. Oceans Featuring Percussion - the Third Eye Foundation 5:16, Standing Stone 3:48, Crystal Shade 4:56, Instrumental Wish 6:39, Distance Featuring [Features the Talents of] Computer - Rocker 4:52, November Mist Recorded By - Richard 4:58, Soaring High 4:19, Oceans 2 5:37
