Psychedelic, hypnotic fantasy music for the the criminally insane.
author: Sam Stuart
The music is definitely well thought out. It varies from psychedelic seventies to innovative sound meshing loops and rock n roll. Kind of like a Beck meets Pink Floyd with Bryan Ferry or David Bowie singing. Simon is a must hear work of art. A female in distress. Can't beat capturing time on tape.

Fine recording
author: Gregor Samsa
Been listening to this one non stop between feedings. Very eclectic and is a rare album that works as a whole. I definately recommend listening to this for something new.

This is my new favorite band and album. Frankly, i am disillusioned with music today - over produced, no soul, all glitz, no substance...but this record has all the elements of a perfect musical journey. The vocals give me goose bumps. I am reminded of a time when musicians made music and were not stuck in some record companies idea of it -- all of the songs are different. Each song is complicated and simple and beautiful -- sometimes even creepy, but definetly original. Love it!!!

Wil Robinson vs Jesse & The Plastic Cats, Lost in Space.
The title to this disc may give you the idea that this is a far out musical space odyssey, and you'd be partially right. Replete with synthesizer squirts, squiggles, and oscillations, Lost in Space is a feast of retro-futuristic rock featuring the singing and spoken word of Jesse Lee Jacobs amidst the adventurous production of Wil Robinson. A fat Novation
K-Station and a vintage Minimoog provide grooves and melodies through epic pieces like " Revolution" and "You'll Never Know," uncorking some multi-layered madness around creative structural arrangements. It's hard to categorize songs such as "Instinct is Lost," with its haunting piano and dimensional synth orchestration, and the album cultivates a fresh unexpectedness that commercial radio has bled from mainstream music. But most importantly, underneath the tripped-out production stands some creative songwriting and lyrical work that reveal the depth of Jacobs mind and soul. Let's hope these Plastic Cats don't remain lost in space too long!
