The Seeds 
FUTURE
GNP / Big Beat CDWIK2 312 - 2 CD deluxe set 

1967 was a turning point for Sky Saxon, Daryl Hooper, Jan Savage and Rick Andridge, a moment where the hard work of the previous two years was finally paying off. The first six months likely represented the zenith of 
the Seeds' career, as the ascendant quartet seemed completely in the vanguard, with a major national hit under their belt, fan pandemonium wherever they went, and a public profile inflated by a new manager, the voluble "Lord" Tim Hudson. The eponymous debut album and its sequel, "A Web Of Sound", had solidified the attitude implied by the hits, and saw the group made defiantly outrageous gestures, both musically and visually. What would their next move be? The ensuing album, "Future", seemed at once both calculated and confused. For some, it represents the Seeds' grand psychedelic statement, a mind-blowing articulation of the flower power movement of which they had been proclaimed torchbearers. To others, "Future" is Sky Saxon's folly: an over-egged, 
acid-damaged pudding that submerged the true power of the band with meaningless grandeur. The truth lies somewhere between. A narcissistic over-confidence made Sky feel the need to now augment Daryl, Jan and Rick in the studio with numerous overdubs “strings, harp, tuba“ on hastily cobbled material that brimmed with bizarre lyrical concepts. On certain tracks the combination worked fine, on others it seemed almost like a parody of psychedelia. Nevertheless, "Future" contains many fan favourites such as˜Painted Doll", ˜Flower Lady", ˜Two Fingers" and "A Thousand Shadows".
