Lloyd Cole

Cole fashioned these appropriately moody, ambient pieces for his own enjoyment and then released them after they received a positive reaction from his friends. A retro feel permeates Plastic Wood as it has more to do with Eno, Tangerine Dream, Moroder and Bowie's late 1970s soundscapes than the "vegan in a tracksuit" landscape of modern electronica. Another green world -- and a nice place to visit, at that.
