The Illusion has been played on NTS in shows including Brown Acid Trippin' w/ Lance Barresi of Permanent Records, featured first on 14 September 2023. Songs played include Did You See Her Eyes.

The Illusion were one of the most successful unknown psychedelic bands of their generation. Their personnel included Michael Ricciardella (drums), Richie Cerniglia (guitar), Chuck Alder (bass), Mike Maniscalco (guitar, keyboards), and John Vinci (vocals). They released three albums on Steed Label; "The Illusion" (1969), "Together (As A Way Of Life)" (1969), and "If It's So" (1970).

More psychological than musical, The Illusion created a sound bordering on the distortion and was an affront to the very fundamentals of what a “rock” band should or even could be. The combination of noise and nonsense, any and all things childish, exaggerated, and irrational, resulted in an incredible cacophony that transports you back to a time when you still believed illusion lived under your brain. Hailing all the way from the cold frontier of east java, Malang City , this band won’t just give you the atmosphere of ache and loneliness but will bring you the frost itself. Malang Post-Rock band
