The Looking Glasses were a band from Los Angeles that time has forgot. They also used the name The Clouds as well. 'Visions' is an extraordinary psych single, capturing the exotic nature of the times, with incredibly tripped out harmony male voices, and fuzz guitar shards everywhere cutting right through the wall. The haunting organ only adds to the vibe. If looking for that perfect "opium den" 1967 soundtrack, then hear you go. Brilliant in every way. One hopes that out of the blue, a canister full of tapes shows from this session!
Despite having a cool name like 'Migada Bus', the flip side can only be considered a disappointment when compared to the tripped out front. It's mostly an acoustic guitar lead instrumental rock song, with some harpsichord and a bit of fuzz toward the end.
'Visions' is part of the compilation above titled 30 Seconds Before the Calico Wall!
