(Neo Progressive) [CD] Earthstone - Seed (1994), FLAC (image+.cue+artwork), lossless

EARTHSTONE began as a Chris Phillips solo project. After the breakup of his latest band, Ranata Spirit, in 1984 he decided the only way to make the music he liked was to do it alone. Over time, he wrote music, and made home recordings. It was almost ten years before the original dream started to become a reality. However, when the deal with Kinesis came through, Phillips realized he needed some help. Chris Bond had been working with Phillips on some other projects, so he became the other official member of the band. "Seed" was released by Kinesis in 1994. Mark Richards does play guitar on one track, but this was really a two-man operation. Phillips did most of the instrumental work, and vocals. Bond provided some keyboards, and co-wrote many of the songs. The drums were programmed, which would become the biggest sore spot for many listeners, especially Phillips. Even though the album was reviewed favorably, and they sold all of the original pressings, Phillips is very disappointed with the final product.
Although the door was open for another EARTHSTONE album, Phillips and Bond realized that their musical vision was too different. The funny thing is, that didn't stop them from collaborating in another (very similar) band. They went on to become members of Stealing the Fire. Some have called the album "Hot Ice and Wonderous Strange Snow" the follow up to "Seed."
Chris Phillips states that EARTHSTONE never disbanded, since it has been an idea in motion since 1984. He has also never ruled out Chris Bond as his partner in crime for a future Earthstone album. However, recent news doesn't make that a likely proposition. The number two spot is currently being filled by Paul Redden, and a new album is in the works. "These Are the Days That Were" is set for release in the summer of 2008.
They are described as a "pagan" music outfit. Their emphasis being earth and water. These themes are prevalent in the music. Other influences range from King Crimson and Atomic Rooster, to Art of Noise and Ozric Tentacles. The new album is to be based on retro instrumentation (Hammond organ, and even valve tape recorders), and modern recording techniques.
