5.0 out of 5 stars Garage Days, December 30, 2004

This review is from: The Seeds (Audio CD)

Flower punks, extraordinaire! I still have the Pushin' Too Hard single somewhere, but never got one of their albums until the late nineties. That album was Future.

This compilation of their first two albums I bought as an import the other day and it brings back a flood of memories. This was music just about anyone could play! That made it very accessible to kids like me who grew up in the sixties.

It is obvious and has been inferred many times by others that the musicianship was marginal at best but for this type of music, who cares? Personally, I think Rick Andridge, the drummer, was the best musician of the bunch but despite that, they worked well as a team and came out with some crude gems that I still enjoy today.

As I said before, I never had a Seeds album until the late nineties, but I heard nearly all of the songs on this album from friends that had them so when I bought this compilation, there were few surprises.

Nowadays, the members have scattered to the four corners except Sky who is still plugging away with a new version of the Seeds. That man is a real character, a genuine 60's personality.

My favorites off this album are, of course, the hits as in Pushin' Too Hard, Can't Seem to Make You Mine, and Mr. Farmer. But I like the rest of the songs as well and they take me back to the incense burning black light days. I like the 14 minute Up In Her Room but Sky's repetitive vocal style gets a little annoying in spots. Most of the songs sound like they were not the final take, but that is also the charm of this group of songs. It is obvious they copied their own riffs over and over again, but I look at it as a psychedelic symphony (yeah, go ahead and laugh) with a recurring theme. If the music was more refined and perfect, it would not have the same impact on me.

Do not look to the Seeds music for virtuosity, look to it for attitude, atmosphere, and one hell of a good time. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff!, April 5, 2005

Born Rocker (Sedona, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Seeds (Audio CD)

I bought this album after only hearing one of the seeds songs--"Cant Seem To Make You Mine" and hearing samples here on Amazon. My first impression was, these guys are pretty good. I didnt like how most of the songs sounded repetative. I only listened to like 2 times. A few weeks later i started listening the the album like everyday, and i started to really like these guys. Even though the vocals can get repetative and annoying at times, the more i listened to this cd, the more i liked it. Now the seeds are one of my favorite bands. You should give them a listen!

I recommend The seeds album--Travel With Your Mind-- more than this one.....it is even better, and is more psycheldelic. Good stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Plant Them In Your Mind, February 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Seeds (Audio CD)

The Seeds. What a great name. What a great band. You rarely hear them mentioned anymore, but these guys were way ahead of their time. There music is timeless in the true sense of the word, in that it sounds both ancient and futuristic at the same time. It hooks you in and holds your head underwater until you wake up in another world of haunting landscapes filled with shattered hearts and brains throbbing with psychic pain. It murders your resistence and leaves you aching and longing for more. Get the seeds. Plant them in your mind. They will grow. You will grow. Be not afraid. Behold The Seeds.
