Solarflares Burn For You (1973)

March 16, 2012 | Author That's Really Wild!

Road movie or acid trip? Throbbing to a hypnotic soundtrack by Soft Machine’s Robert Wyatt, our journey starts in London – complete with a mime who looks like a refugee from ‘Godspell’. The ’70s then swing into an industry-scarred countryside made magical with day-glo pink skies, tangerine fields and acid-yellow roads. The British landscape has rarely looked more extraordinary.
