Seid - Creatures of the Underworld

SKU SULATRON0601
The second (and final? it appears that they may have broken up!) album by this spacerock (with the accent on both the rock and the space part!) band from Norway.

"Creatures Of The Underworld is the second album from Norway's psychedelic/progressive spacerock band Seid, following up their 2002 Among The Monster Flowers Again release. With a cover freely adapted from the painting Hell by Hieronymus Bosch this was always going to be an interesting release. If the description of the band given in the previous sentence seems confusing enough (Prog? Psych? Space?!) then it doesn't really help that influences of indie and punk rock as well as Balkan folk music can also be identified within the music. That might sound as if the album is an unholy mixture with no discernable direction but, surprisingly, it all seems to work rather well...Although initially I didn't think I would enjoy this album, it just goes to show that first impressions are often wrong. The album has a lot of humour, features a lot of weird and strange sound experiments and skilfully blends different types of music that one wouldn't think would sit comfortably side-by-side. As a bonus the CD also contains a video for the trippy Meet The Spaceman (a 2003 single) which is very amusing as well as being a jolly good song!"-Mark Hughes/dprp.com
