Bemerkungen / Comments:
Originally from 1995, now reissued on DOUBLE-LP, the raga-like acid rock on 'Superseeder' reminds of the Bevis Frond's early recordings.
'Another year, another album' yawn the liner notes of 1995's Superseeder, a hint that perhaps Nick Saloman was growing tired of the Bevis Frond's work schedule. There's little hint of that on the album itself, though, from the spiraling, Eastern-influenced opener 'Superceded' onwards, this is one of the Bevis Frond's strongest collections. Recorded with the rhythm section of Adrian Shaw and Andy Ward (guest Bari Watts adds a second lead guitar to two tracks, most notably the wild 'I Can't Cry'), Superseeder marks a temporary return to the sort of extended raga-like acid rock workout that typified early Bevis Frond releases, the difference is that with a proper rhythm section pushing things along instead of Saloman overdubbing himself on various instruments, there's a much greater sense of interplay on tracks like the nearly 17-minute workout 'House of Mountains.' The album's high point is the hilarious 'Sue Me,' with Saloman singing mocking lines about being 'the most psychedelic-est of them all' to a backing track that could fit on Electric Ladyland. The garage-punky 'Dolly Bug,' one of Saloman's most concise pop songs, is another goody, but really, the whole album is excellent.
