Sound amplification by stimulated emission of radiation mechanism and an active medium. The pumping procedure can be induced for example by an alternating electric field or with some mechanical vibrations of resonators, followed by acoustic amplification in the active medium. The fact that a SASER operates on principles remarkably similar to a laser, can lead to an easier way of understanding the relevant operation circumstances. Instead of a feedback-built potent wave of electromagnetic radiation, a SASER delivers a potent sound wave. Some methods for sound amplification of GHz-THz have been proposed so far. Some have been explored only theoretically and others have been explored in non-coherent experiments.
A Web of Sound listening to them is humming in a room where another dozen people are humming also, in a constant pitch, never varying, unchanging." Allmusic's Joe Viglione suggested that "A Web of Sound" also influenced such artists as Iggy Pop and The Stooges and Alice Cooper. Stewart Mason, also of Allmusic, remarked that the album blended "the snotty aggression of ["The Seeds"] a bit with some heavier psychedelic flourishes." Writer Malcolm Russell described "A Web of Sound" as being "more adventurous" than the band's debut album, and said it "brimmed with scratchy mid-60s classics." Don Jacobson of "The Beachwood Reporter" called it
