From Aural Innovations #19 (April 2002) Seid is a new band that hail from Trondheim, Norway (home of Motorpsycho) and describe themselves as a Space Rock Orchestra (6 members). I had received a 4 song promo CD before this and I quite enjoyed it a lot and all those songs are contained on this CD due out in May on LuftWaffel Records. The band have quite their own style and use a mixture of far out electronic sounds and 60´s organ sound very effectively and develop some good melodies, but they have a lot of twists and turns in their music and don´t make it predictable at all. One thing that sets them apart on their style of Space Rock is the use of an more twangy, undistorted guitar sound on many songs. "Jellyfish" is the heavy song on this CD but mixes a cool eastern organ into the psychedelic mix. Great song. Sounds like sitar as well. "5/4" (w/intermission) is a really excellent floating space rock song with great vocal lines and spaced out guitars. The last several minutes or so of the song, I guess the intermission is pure electronic space sounds. "Lois Loona" starts very mellow but develops into a sort of strange mixture of dissonant sounds, freaky organ and driving guitar. "The Red Planet" is a very catchy song but quite psychedelic. Sleep is the last song on the CD before the "Among The Monster Flowers Again" all instrumental electronic theme closes the CD. Check out this band.. Reviewed by Scott Heller

Seid - Among The Monster Flowers Again CD Daredevil.de Luftwaffel Records Fetch your Bongs and sit down, cause this is really psychedelic and mindblowing. Six guys and they do their job more than well. It´s like Pink Floyd back in the 70´s, one sound experiment follows the other, but it never, I said never goes on your nerves, it´s always in the groove and what I also like on them is that the voice is pretty raw for that kind of music, but it fits perfect, no it brings the rock into heavy psychedelia. Seid are defnetly explorers of new sounds in music and this album is food for your mind, your body and your soul. You should try for yourself, here´s a guide how to use that CD: #1 Buy it! #2 Buy some of the funky stuff! #3 Inhale! #4 Put in the Seid CD! #5 Press Replay! #6 Lay Down! #7 Pass out! #8 Wake up and Seid is still running! #9 Start again. Excellent realease. Trondheim must have something in the coffee or good weed in the backyard. rating: 1 rating: 1 (for the label name) home: flying.to/seid RB
