MauriceHaylett reviews Harry Betts' soundtrack for The Fantastic Plastic Machine. The music blends surf themes with funk, jazz, soul and psychedelia influences. It's enjoyable and listenable but not essential. The album is short (just over half an hour) and rated 3/5 by the reviewer.

For:Listeners interested in 1960s soundtracks, surf-jazz, and funk-influenced instrumental music.

The year was 1969, musicians began to explore the possibilities of funk and its fusion with other genres such as jazz, soul, and even psychedelia, and Harry Betts, a trombonist and composer approaching fifty, composed the soundtrack for The Fantastic Plastic Machine, a documentary about the adventures of a group of American surfers competing in a tournament on the Australian beaches.
