notes
Weaving melodies that swirl like the images inside a kaleidoscope, Chicago’s Red Plastic Buddha have crafted an amazing psychedelic debut. The songs on Sunflower Sessions very nearly drip with lysergic influence, and although you'll hear Barrett’s Pink Floyd, Love, the Soft Machine and the 13th Floor Elevators, the Red Plastic Buddha bring a new level of energy and excitement to the genre.
Unabashed studio fiends, the Red Plastic Buddha spent 18 months at Strobe Recording patiently recording this release. The result is a gleaming silver spaceship of sound, bursting at the seams with light and energy.

The Red Plastic Buddha
author: Zed NextWhirling,swirling and pulsating like any psychedelia worth its weight in windowpanes, The Red Plastic Buddha weaves memories of the dreamy, moody and driving psychedelic sounds of the '60s and '70s with their own personal touches for a very enjoyable and trippy blend. Their CD, "Sunflower Sessions", opens with "Forget Me Not", a chunk of psychedelic punk. Pugnacious guitar work sets the song on fire as lyrics of desperation are defiantly flung at the listener. Tears of rage not easily forgotten. In "Rollercoaster" a sunglasses-clad, beret-wearing carnival barker hipster with a lava lamp wristwatch standing outside a coffeehouse that's wrapped in Peter Max snake charmer music urges you to come take a ride on the rollercoaster, "Come on! Let it happen to you!" Like "Clouds", the next offering, the RPB encircle, swirl and fold into themselves. Beautiful and tough. "Kerosene"---This one singes. A lovelorn lament told in the incinerating tones of a lysergic lullaby. Diane Arbus and Joan of Arc at the Teddy Bear's Picnic. "Over and Over" delivers dreamy reconsiderations riding waves of repetition and regret. Over and over, over and over...again. "Gingerbread Pornography" is my personal favorite. Driving, urgent, head-banging psychedelia with some very cool keyboard work. Red Plastic Buddha, my friends, will surely awaken something within you. Good buy.
