The Seeds stand tall amongst the handful of mid-60s American garage bands whose influence is palpable in rock to this day. Led by charismatic frontman Sky Saxon, the original Hollywood-based quartet's unique and exciting brand of minimalist rock'n'roll still sounds contemporary and is perfectly encapsulated on this first album. If second album "A Web Of Sound" was pop-art flash, and 1967's "Future" a florid take on psychedelia, then the July 1966 debut remains The Seeds' grand statement; an all-original programme of rock and R&B-inflected garage punk that buzzed with a peculiar-yet-riveting energy that was the ensemble's very own. Whilst "The Seeds" contains a pair of familiar classics in 'Can't Seem To Make You Mine' and 'Pushin' Too Hard',' it is instructive to remember that it was recorded and released some time before either tune became a hit. Unlike so many albums of that era, the Seeds' debut was not a quickie thrown to together to take advantage of singles chart success. Instead, the record constitutes a sharp definition of their unique and aberrant style, featuring several key items within their canon, be they the rough-hewn rockers 'Girl I Want You' and 'No Escape', the pot-boiling blues 'Nobody Spoil My Fun',' or the lengthy and downright sinister 'Evil Hoodoo'.'
