Fireworks starts like a sunrise--or, more accurately, like a landscape being illuminated by a sunrise--with "diana slowburner ii" (also the A side on the 7-inch), a gradual emergence of tone and color, a slow deepening of texture that swells until everything can be plainly beheld.
Subdued guitar and Casio-class keyboard sounds combine to seduce the listener away from the literal and invite fancies for which they provide the soundtrack.
Lo-fi need not mean low quality, AAS says with Fireworks, and while space may not be the final frontier, it's by no means fully mapped.

The record was comprised of songs they had been working on since their inception the previous spring and the majority of the record was done in about three weeks.
Kenny and Lee moved to Austin soon after Fireworks was released, and set up house with Mark with the intention of having one roof under which to live, practice and record.
Their dream of having a house which doubled as a place to practice and record was shattered rather quickly by their intolerant new neighbors who complained to their landlord.

Then clever boy felix gave the brillant idea of walking to the curve to join the fun of watching fireworks after the countdown and so one big group of monkeys followed as well.
Pretty fun as there were 7 of us and we couldnt decide what to do after the countdown so we went over to a friend's place and watch dvds.
Nice place to watch some nemo fish swimming around, nice place to let some sharks scare your ass off, also a nice place to see some cute chick ushering people out of the place (Hehe!) but it's definitely not worth RM30+ just to watch all this things.

 Jackson Free Press | The Kindness of Strangers
Soon after their inception, AmAnSet began recording “The Fun of Watching Fireworks” at their Fort Worth home using 8-track equipment—it was released in August 1996.
“Fireworks” received much critical acclaim upon its release and found AmAnSet compared to the highly hyped “drone-rock” of Stereolab and the “space-rock” of Spacemen 3.
The album highlighted their slow-burning musical style, one where Kenny’s cyclical guitar riffs and lilting vocals synergize with the grooves of the Lee’s baseline, Roschmann’s farfisa keyboards and the brushed strokes of Mark’s drums.

 The American Analog Set
Following the success of their debut The Fun of Watching Fireworks, The American Analog Set used the same equipment (eight track recorder and a half-inch tape deck) to capture their second long player, From our Living Room to Yours, in an Austin house this time instead of their native Fort Worth.
The Fun of Watching Fireworks' eight songs offer an early glimpse into the band's creative home recordings to date.
From the joyous and rollicking "On My Way" (clocking in at nine minutes) to the more melancholy "Gone to Earth" and on to the brief, tranced-out bliss of "Trespassers in the Stereo Field," this is a band with a lot of sounds to offer.

The first AmAnSet release, 1996's The Fun of Watching Fireworks, is the sound of wispy weariness captured on primitive equipment.
Even though it was essentially a stopgap release, it proved the band had been sitting on a satchel of good songs, in particular the soft-rock stunner "The Only Living Boy Around," a uniquely personal and spare little tune that's immediately endearing.
The process certainly worked with "Gone to Earth," a track from The Fun of Watching Fireworks that had been reworked and rerecorded for Know by Heart.

Rising from the ashes of a previous living room band (which included, Ken, Mark, and Lisa), what was to become The American Analog Set recruited friend Lee on bass and began in earnest in the spring of 1995.
The record was comprised of songs they had been working on since their inception the previous spring.
And although dedicated to recording, the members were actually living in different cities within Texas, making recording, practicing and playing shows a more arduous task than usual.

Quiet and low-key, the American Analog Set has released three albums in the past two years: The Fun of Watching Fireworks; the follow-up full-length From Our Living Room to Yours; and an EP, Late One Sunday and the Following Morning.
The three records are packaged with no information beyond the song and album titles and were home-recorded on an 8-track machine.
Despite rave reviews in major music magazines, which compared the band favorably to Stereolab and Spiritualized, AmAnSet didn't tour; Roschmann and Smith returned to their studies at the University of Texas and Kenny went back to work in a used book store.

Hushed, melodic vocal harmonies, vibes, and various keyboards add texture to the overall picture--a quiet mystery that seems to hover over all of their records and brings the listener back again and again.
The famed farfisa that won this band so many Stereolab comparisons early on does indeed return for a song or two (see "Million Young") and quickly brings you back to the same feeling of their Fun of Watching Fireworks days.
Yes, it does stand out as something from their past, but at the same time, this is very visibly the same band.

After playing a couple of shows in Fort Worth, the band relocated to Austin, where original keyboardist Lisa Roschmann, who left the band in 1999, and drummer Mark Smith were going to school.
The Fun of Watching Fireworks was released on Emperor Jones/Trance Syndicate in 1996, and the band released three more albums on that label, including this year's Through the '90s: Singles and Beyond, before moving to Tiger Style.
Songs like "The Postman" and "The Kindness of Strangers" rely more on the vocals and the melody than previous American Analog Set mainstays like its first single, "Diana Slowburner II," off The Fun of Watching Fireworks, where the emphasis was on the Farfisa organ loop and the instrumentation.

The first song on American Analog Set's fourth studio album, Know by Heart (Tiger Style), bears the title "Punk as Fuck." Oh, the delicious irony.
Since the Texas band first hit the scene with 1996's The Fun of Watching Fireworks, they've been infamous for penning songs that are not only sleepily slow, but also long and winding.
That began to change slightly when a third album, Golden Band, found the Set breaking free from the homemade insularity of their origins to embrace a more upbeat and folk-based manifest destiny.
