Customer Reviews:

Travel with your mind.......2006-12-02

The Seeds WERE the best psychedelic/garage band of the '60s, and their masterpiece "Future" proves it. Here, the band weaves the sitar, tabla, harpsicord, and even a tuba (!) into their music, and is all the better for it. The opening track with the spoken word intro is a bit hokey, but once past that, the stunning music commences. "Travel with your mind" is a beautiful piece, equalling anything done by groups of the era. The hit-that-got-away, "The Flower Lady and Her Assistant", is an absolutely mesmerising cut, and will haunt you for days afterwards. The melody stays in the brain, a sign of great music. The hit "A Thousand Shadows" was actually a B-side that got airplay; the band's record company was rather clueless at this point when it came to choosing singles, which undoubtedly led to the band's early demise, as did the decision to release the blues album, then credited to The Sky Saxon Blues Band. Something akin to commercial suicide, the band never recovered from this error. Had they been signed to a major label the project would have been nixed.

interesting material, bad compilation.......2001-12-07

The Seeds was not the greatest psychedelic/ garage-rock band. The main problem IMHB was their vocalist who's limited to Mick Jagger-imitation, which get on your nerves after three or four songs. Which is not to say those songs are bad, in fact if you just play the sitar and tabla dominated "Travel With Your Mind," when you're in a trippy mood, it's great, just don't play the whole album at once.

The First half of the album comes from the album "A Spoon full of Seedy Blues" and consists of trashy variation of the early Fleetwood Mac stuff. Some of their spicy musical arrangements of the psychedelic album "Future," which forms the second half on the disc, are truly mind altering.
