Album Review

Steven McDonald [allmusic.com]

Guitarist/leader Bill Nelson has always had his head in a space that's defined by the 1950s World's Fair idea of the future - a world of monorails and strange machines. This is particularly evident here, with Nelson's affection for Japan competing for space with paeans to electrical communication. At times charming and even romantic, at other times outre, Drastic Plastic marked the end of the band and hinted at Nelson's musical experiments to come.
