Quiet Before The Storm/Rainbow/Bullfrog/Love In Your Face/You Don’t Remember/Its All In My Head/Blues With A Feeling
Thunder On A Clear Day was the sole album release from the Phoenix psychedelic group Twentieth Century Zoo. Comprises neat fuzz guitar and organ with a couple of more self indulgent extended tracks.
“Very competent acid rock with some white boy R & B thrown in as well. Rainbow and Love In Your Face are worth the price of admission with the latter having one of the best psych guitar solos I've heard on an obscure 60s record. Solid songwriting and awesome fuzz guitar throughout. Nice Farfisa organ work in You Don't Remember Me. All in all this is a psych masterpiece and is highly recommended.”
“Late sixties US heavy acid psych rarity with fuzz guitars and spaced effects all over the place.”
“A really cool garage psych release by this Arizona band, very influenced by groups like Country Joe & The Fish and Savage Resurrection, but with more garage and lots of fuzz on the guitar.”
“One of the greatest psychedelic albums. Twentieth Century Zoo's Thunder On A Clear Day is everything that the psych-lover wants: incredible fuzz-guitars, lengthy jams, great songwriting and of course, some tasty blues here and there.”
“To my ears, one of the best psych albums ever recorded. It's simply a non-stop fuzz guitar onslaught of psych hard rock, and with nothing short of extraordinarily good material. Sure has what I'm looking for in a psych album.”
“Lots of fat fuzzy guitar here with punk attitude. Two long bluesy jams which take up half the album. Still very good and worth hearing. It's All In My Head is a standout, but all five psych/garage/punk tracks pass the grade.”
“Featuring elongated fuzz-sustain riffs and heavy organ, there was little to make it stand out from the crowd of similar late-sixties American albums. At times there is a hard blues-rock feel, which could break into tedium on longer tracks, such as a tenminute cover of Little Walter's Blues With A Feeling."
