Flying Saucer Attack - wish

Some things always stick in your mind, one was when John Peel played "wish" by Flying Saucer Attack, he wasn't sure if it should be played at 45 or 33pm so ended up playing the song 3 times at various speeds. "Wish" is a song i love. I imagined this was actually alien rock. Somewhere across the galaxy aliens had picked up our old rock & roll radio transmissions, heavily distorted by the time they got them, and thus tried to reproduce this lo-fi and blissed out noise. And this was the result.

Well i was pretty dreamy in the early 90s, still at uni. Yet to experience the horror of the "real world". This is beautiful music, a delicate melody amid a sea of noise that takes me back. I bet alien rock does sound like this anyway.
