Acid Dream: The Great LSD Plot

Critic Rating

James Marriot • The Times UK Nov 4, 2022

"a charming little gem from BBC Sounds, is low on gut-wrenching horror, overhyped plot twists and breathless narration. It is (woozily) high on giddy sound effects, quirky detail and trippy music — the score is an original composition by Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals fame.
