'In 1968, the Plastic Cloud based out of Bay Ridges, Ontario, recorded, quite simply, one of the greatest psychedelic albums ever made. This a record with few equals, full of foreboding melodies and lovely hippie harmonies, as well as some of the most superb and trippiest, Eastern sounding fuzz guitar ever recorded. There is no point singling out a specific 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 terrific back-of-the-mix fuzz guitar as an elusive focal point to its extended pounding-drum laden instrumental breaks; with a great chorus and a plaintive melody in the verse, it doesn't overstay its welcome, winding its way to a final freak out. Essential psychedelia' ~ hype
one of the hardest pills to swallow about starting a blog smack in the middle of 2010 is the realization that many of me favourite slabs have ample representation elsewhere, which leaves me constantly scouring olden posts on other blogs to insure i'm not unwittingly wasting anyone else's flavour. still, this has gotta be the most exciting age to be delving into sweet sounds as none of this was possible like a decade ago & as a result we have the great fortune to finally hear many of the publications we might've previously only heard [or read] about. unsurprisingly this grower of an album owlready lives on at least 5 other blogs, but they seem to be sharing the same tired rip. here goes a much needed upgrade to cure yr sweltering summerthyme blues. 320 tremulous trills to Ontario, Canada :)
