"What remains so remarkable about the band's album is that the performances retain an energy, but also a naivety, that somehow evokes both the Jefferson Airplane and the Velvet Underground -- often within the same song" --Shindig! Magazine

Plastic Cloud recorded,quite simply, one of the greatest underground psychedelic albums ever made: a swirl of gossamer vocals and Tolkien references, swathed in the some of the most relentless fuzz guitar you will ever hear.There is no point singling out a specifc track, they are all excellent--one is equally as good as the next. Take for example the album centerpiece, the ten-and-a-half-minute 'You Don't Care,' an insane piece of social commentary that features terrifc back- of-the- mix fuzz guitar as an elusive focal point to its extended pounding-drum laden instrumental breaks; a ten-minute swath of lysergic fuzz guitar that closes out the frst side, it doesn't overstay its welcome, winding its way to a fnal freak out.A record with few equals, full of foreboding melodies and lovely hippie harmonies, as well as some of the trippiest fuzz guitar ever recorded. Essential psychedelia!
