FUTURE by THE SEEDS is a bit of a guilty pleasure. The Seeds, were a very distinctive garage band and on their psychedelic opus, Future, we hear the sound of a band that has a huge recording budget, and ended up creating is a wild 60 s pop art display, which contains tons of charm. Future is the sonic equivalent of a 60 s cult film like The Trip.
The Seeds began life a few years prior to this recording as a prime garage/psych band out of LA. They d already scored a few minor hits with Pushin Too Hard and Can t Seem To Make You Mine. They cashed in on their newfound clout to create this weird and freaky distorted mirror image of Sgt. Pepper s. The strange thing is, Future is arguably a more fun album than that Beatles classic.
Sky Saxon was a notably crazed singer, but he didn t really have the focused punch of somewhat like the 13th Floor Elevator s Rocky Erickson. What raises this album to classic status is in the execution. The Flower Lady And Her Assistant is a far from original composition, but the disorienting harps and strangely meandering clarinet takes song into a brand new realm. Something like March Of The Flower Children becomes a great song because it ends up pointlessly and manically arranged with blaring Pepperisms replacing what would normally be the bass line. The album continues with other random kitchen sink sound effects sonic productions culminating in the epic length and wildly strange Fallin .
It doesn t matter that they really didn t have the talent to create another Sgt. Peppers because they re having so much fun trying. Fortunately, they also had a lot of money to make this quixotic attempt, and that just makes Future all the more charming.
This is a masterpiece of psychedelia and a lot more fun and entertaining that many of the other classics of the era. Future gives guilty pleasure a good name and inhabits a special place in the pantheon of 60 s psychedelic rock.
