Plastic Fantastic is an album by the English band Flesh for Lulu, released in 1989.[1][2] The band, with a different rhythm section, supported it by opening for Public Image Limited on a North American tour.[3] "Decline and Fall" and "Time and Space" peaked at Nos. 15 and 9, respectively, on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.[4]
The album was produced primarily by Mark Opitz.[5] Flesh for Lulu decided in part to record at INXS' studio in Sydney, Australia, to get away from the English music scene.[5][6] "Slide", which was originally written for the soundtrack to Uncle Buck, was produced by Zeus B. Held.[7][8] The title track was inspired by the band's time in Hollywood; "Decline and Fall" also criticizes American culture and lifestyles.[9][10]
