The Lightning Seeds

[JAZZMANB]

As wet as Dale's handshake

 

[EcosseMackem]

Broudie has a great pedigree - I first heard him as part of the Original Mirrors who were excellent
He produced a few early Bunnymen songs (Rescue and Pride from the first album) and most of the Porcupine album
He also produced a couple of albums by Dodgy which were excellent and the 2nd album from our old friends Republica
The Lightning Seeds were always very listenable if not earth shatteringly brilliant

Any fans?

They took part on listening parties last night and ran through Jollification.

Never bothered with them but found that to be a decent pop record actually.

Me. Was a big fan growing up. Talented bloke Ian Broudie, as a writer and producer.

 

[stapler]

Very good ear for memorable little melody but, Pure aside, nothing special in the general songwriting department.

 

[Paninaro]

Love life of riley as it reminds me of 90s MOTD goal of the month compilations

Me too !

 

[Crayola-Kid]

Strong singles band - I don't listen to many of their albums through but their best of (Like You Do?) was a cracker. Saw them at V years ago, late 90s I suppose, and they essentially played a best of set and it was very good. Excellent pop.

Pleasant enough I suppose, I wouldn’t turn the radio off if they came on but a bit insipid for me.

I’ve seen them live a few times and it’s been a decent enough gig every time.

I always thought Brodie could write a great tune.

 

[daventry cat]

was at virgin when we signed him(id been a fan for a while) then life of riley came out .......honestly thought he was going to be huge

 

[Epping]

Playing latitude.. should be canny.. used to love some of their tunes..

 

[Shambo]

Pure & Simple is a great song

Broudie has had quite a bit to do with helping up and coming bands in the North West iirc. Known to let them use his studio and is around to offer musical tips and general industry advice.

 

[herra soul mob]

Produced pale fountains second album.
Always liked Flaming Sword when he was in Care. another pleasant ditty.
