This two-track EP is an excellent introduction to Flying Saucer Attack, displaying a minimalist brilliance that leaves one aching for more. The opener, "Sally Free and Easy," contains an understated vocal and melody, not surprisingly awash in reverb-laden feedback. The composition's tone is itself understated but still hopeful; there exists a comfortable feeling throughout the song. "Three Seas," though, is eerie and foreboding, a giant open field where being "free and easy" is scary and confining. FSA creates a steely machine of fear, but one that drones on long enough for a steady groove to appear. Then, just when relief seems victorious, a new wave of high-pitched unease concludes "Three Seas," leaving one with the feeling that there is no way out. It's an unforgiving "anti-resolution" that makes the listener wish for another chance. Understand though, the genius of FSA is that this is only one interpretation. Their music, based mostly on pure sound, is a fluid, atmospheric journey that invites both body and mind, open to different readings by each individual. ~ Matthew Kantor, All Music Guide [-] Collapse
