Mr Farmer/Pictures & Designs/Tripmaker/I Tell Myself/A Faded Picture/Rollin’ Machine/Just Let Go/Up In Her Room
A Web Of Sound is the quick follow up album from garage rock band The Seeds. Includes the track Up In Her Room which, at over 14 minutes long, was the longest extended jam track at the time.
“Though slightly off pace from their debut, this one is much more consistent, and shows the band much more confident in the studio, and more comfortable with their new punk sound. It's primarily organ driven, with some good fuzz guitar. Depending on your frame of mind, the long track can get rather tedious toward the end.”
“For me, a bit stronger than their debut. While it is still firmly in the garage, there are hints that the lysergically influenced times were making an impact on The Seeds. The music is still pretty simple but there is more added to the garage sound to give it just a whiff of psychedelia. Mr. Farmer is excellent as is the creepy Faded Picture and the 14 minute Up In Her Room is a trance like groove that just goes around and around quiet pleasurably. A definite step up from the debut.”
“Dirty, noisy garage rock with thin, kitschy sonic things floating around. Delightfully amateurish riffs and much proto-punkish repetition.” “The weakest link here is an extra long track, Up In Her Room, repetitive for nothing. A Web Of Sound is a good psychedelic garage/proto-punk album, a bit ahead of its time.”
“Apart from the inclusion of the instant garage rock classic Mr. Farmer, one of the most important, yet least impressive tracks on A Web Of Sound is Up In Her Room."
“Second LP from 1966 and much better than their debut. Great garage/psych with organ and fuzz guitar. The whole of side one of the LP is great. Second side begins good with Just Let Go, but the studio version of Up In Her Room is too slow and goes on too long.”
“For fans of The Seeds this is worth checking out. The band wasn't a top tier group but with the passage of time, their music stands as an example of that whole exciting, weird era.”
