Mainly led by floating, flowing organ progressive/psych structures, similar in structure to the organ dominated 1st Atomic Rooster album & Aardvark meets the 1st Caravan and the instrumental segments of Soft Machine Vol II ... pleasant original compositions that have the sound collectors of prog psych highly seek....The band began by calling themselves "1,2,3" and played extensively at the Marquee club in London in the late 1960s, notably early in 1967, alongside bands such as The Nice, The Syn (later Yes), Jethro Tull, The Yardbirds and Jimi Hendrix. A young David Bowie wrote an enthusiastic newspaper article on the band. They were taken on by NEMS management company, run by Brian Epstein, in late 1967. After changing their name to The Clouds, they quickly got to work writing and recording the album Scrapbook, which was released in 1968 on Island Records. Deram (London) released the U.S. Export album in 1969, and it was not until 1971 that Clouds released this, their final album, Watercolour Days, arguably their best. Wakeman, Emerson, Lord, Tony Kay (Yes) WERE influenced by Clouds keyboardist Billy Ritchie, the whole concept of lead organ playing came from him...all through the well rounded comlex moves & arrangements you will here bits and pieces that will remind of classic period Nice, Yes, Soft Machine, King Crimson and the like...Clouds were hailed by critics but never pulled it off commercially, perhaps to ahead of their time
