Sky Sunlight Saxon and The Seeds
Information and reviews for 1960s psychedelic garage-rock pioneers The Seeds. Including Sky Saxon's numerous projects 1960-2009 and beyond.
Album of the day
The 2001 CD Early Sky Saxon compiles nine of the twelve known pre-Seeds Sky Saxon songs which were released on various labels from 1960-4. The artist is given as Richard Marsh and The Hoodwinks; each of Sky's six pre-Seeds singles used a different artist credit and this was one of them. It is unclear why the compilers of this CD chose that name over any of the others. Early Sky Saxon is difficult to find for sale, but fortunately is unnecessary to all except Sky completists: these songs (plus more) are better collected elsewhere. 1. "They Say" 2. "Trouble With My Baby" 3. "Darling I Swear That It's True" 4. "Go Ahead And Cry" 5. "Do The Swim" 6. "Baby Baby Baby" 7. "Half Angel"
Some songs from Sky Saxon and The Seeds
A surprisingly poppy performance from 2002 that finds Sky Saxon and Djin Aquarian trading lead vocals. Conventional song that turns pretty mind-blowing.
"Tripmaker" is a celebration of drugmakers and their lysergic wares. Like Halloween on LSD, this song is a riot. It's on The Seeds' 1966 LP A Web Of Sound.
Sky Saxon's 2004 album Red Planet begins with the blast of garage-fuzz guitar and shiny keyboards that is "101 Colorized Bottles" and it's amazing. The amped-up
One of the new songs on Sky Saxon and Rainbow Neal's 1977 live album Heavenly Earth is "Paradise Power". It's a great throwback to The Seeds, a fast two-chord punk
With its massively fat guitar sound, "World Tribute" takes up a lot wider space than other Just Imagine songs. Most of the song is made up of two grungy chords
