Flying Saucer Attack/Main/White Winged Moth - Mort Aux Vaches
(Staalplaat)
This newest release from the Mort Aux Vaches series
from Staalplaat records in Amsterdam is the best so
far. The CD starts with some odd radio oscillations
that lead into one of the simplest, most beautiful Flying Saucer Attack
songs in recent memory. Dave Pierce plucks elegant
wonder from an acoustic guitar as cars drive by and a
radio emits distant warnings in the background. Upon
first listen, I have to admit that I got chills.
Continuing on, the tracks by Main and White Winged
Moth are somewhat indistinguishable from one another.
This does not take away from them, however, because
they flow wonderfully in-between the Flying Saucer Attack numbers that
are the centerpieces on this release. If not for the
songs by Flying Saucer Attack, this CD would be just another drone
record, albeit a very good one. The prescence of Dave
Pierce makes this CD what it is... great! If anyone
felt betrayed by the dancier side of the last Flying Saucer Attack
album, pick this CD up and have your faith instantly
restored.
