Fifty Foot Hose were one of the most unusual '60s San Francisco psychedelic bands, in part because
they weren't really that psychedelic. Like a few other acts of the time (most notably the United States of America),
they were trying to fuse the contemporary sounds of rock with electronic instruments
and avant-garde compositional ideas. Only one album resulted from the ambitious enterprise,
and that record (Cauldron, 1968) still remains unknown to all but hardcore collectors.
Although an erratic work, it was intriguing for its mix of jazzy psychedelic rock tunes
with electronic sound effects that anticipated future models of synthesizers.
In the late '70s and '80s Cauldron influenced a number of experimental outfits,
including Pere Ubu, Throbbing Gristle, and Chrome
"CAULDRON"

Fifty Foot Hose's Cauldron is erratic but fascinating. When married to routine blues-rock,
the electronic squiggles seem to be covering up the inadequacy of the basic material,
and the occasional bleats of pure electronic passages will bore rock-oriented listeners.
Yet when combined with lilting-but-disquieting jazz-psychedelic compositions,
like the title track and "If Not This Time," it's genuinely original, similar in feel
to the oscillation-toned rock of the United States of America...(AllMusic)
