SOWING THEIR SEEDS
Once upon a time, Michael Hall sent a query to this mag, hoping to get into its pages as a rock scribe. It didn’t work out and his letter was sent off to freelance writing hell. CREEM hasn’t completely submerged his critical skills, though. His review of the Seeds’ newest LP consists of proud satisfaction for its live-in-the-studio sound tinged with unhappiness with certain parts that he considers “canned.”

"I think you get to a certain point in recording where in order to get a real good sound you have to spend a certain amount of time, but if you1 spend more than that amount of time you lose that sound and it sounds hopelessly muddled and studio-like, like a Fleetwood Mac record. Maybe there’s a certain point, like 12 days. Beyond that it starts to lose its spontaneity.”
