Seeds - 'Evil Hoodoo' (Drop Out).......2006-12-03

Here's one Seeds compilation I've never seen until here recently. Good sixteen track retrospect of the garage / psych band's short-lived career. Tunes I liked best were "The Wind Blows Your Hair",the jamming "Chocolate River","Pushing Too Hard" and "Up In Her Room". Could swear I heard that Seed's main man Sky Saxon had made a comeback with a revamped line-up of the Seeds and toured with Electric Prunes (was it?). Don't you just love reunions of such? A should-have.

The Seeds: Way more than just a few songs on Nuggets!.......2005-03-25

This compilation wisely eschews a chronological running order for a mix-and-match sequencing of the Seeds' various singles, album tracks and rarities. I say wisely because this band had two distinct phases in only a couple of years; first as proto garage-rock punks, then as a psychedelic "head" band. These two styles, though they happened in a remarkably short time in real life, might make for a CD that would seem more like two halves than a whole. Therefore, I really like the shifting songs and styles on this compilation from the late-80's on DropOut.

The Seeds' earlier 3-chord punk assaults have often been criticised as the hit "Pushin' Too Hard" re-recorded over and over. I've never really agreed with that somewhat lazy assessment, since if they mean 3-chords, raw performances and a ton of attitude, that pretty much describes garage rock as a whole. Still, there's a certain sameness of sound that makes the psyche era stuff a welcome change-up.

Being a single CD comp, Evil Hoodoo spares us any material from the horrible "blues" and "live" albums, but hasn't enough room for any of the later material from Sky Saxon and the New Seeds or even enough room for the entire "Up In Her Room," the band's penultimate garage/punk/psyche/sludge freak-out. It's presented here, regrettably, in edited form.

My favourites: the classic singles "Pushin' Too Hard" and "Can't Seem to Make You Mine." The aforementioned "Up in Her Room" despite the edit (grrrr) plus "Chocolate River," "Pictures and Designs" and the glorious and perfectly titled "Evil Hoodoo."

DropOut does a very nice job from the sound to the liner notes to the way-cool retro cover art. Great compilation of a pivotal few years in the group's career.
