"When I hear new bands like Sky Parade and Tame Impala or alt-rock legends like The Flaming Lips, Bauhaus or The Jesus and Mary Chain, I can’t help but think of the man, and the band who created that signature psychedelic guitar sound. Marc Bolan’s touch on the electric guitar was innovative because the notes rang out clearly, but were buried in edgy, fuzzed-out distortion that would break off into a spacier vibe that would propel you into the stratosphere".
