Wilhelm Reich was an Austrian psychiatrist who was trained in Vienna by Sigmund Freud. His work combined Marxism and psychoanalysis to advocate sexual freedom. In the 1930s, Reich came up with the concept of “orgone,” a physical energy contained in the atmosphere and in all living matter. The “Cloudbuster” was a device he came up with to manipulate the orgone energy in the atmosphere, which would force clouds to form and bring rain.
Hawkwind and Patti Smith have both released songs about Reich’s concept of Cloudbusting.
Donald Sutherland appears in the video as the inventor/father.

Lyrics
I still dream of Orgonon
I wake up crying
You're making rain
And you're just in reach
When you and sleep escape me

So beautiful. Such an uplifting song... and the strings and vocal sample give all the uplifting power to the early nineties club-anthem "Something Good" by the Utah Saints...
