Editorial Review: Album Description: "The Freed Man" was one of the first and most crucial releases in the burgeoning lo-fi movement, which would peak in media attention in the mid-90s with the success of Beck, Guided By Voices, and Pavement. But while it helped inspire and define a global movement, there's little trace of that ambition within these tracks. Sebadoh in this incarnation are a cherishably intimate experience. The 70-odd minutes of wayward brilliance collected here offer the listener a rare and recommended opportunity to transport themselves to the weed-hazed bedroom where these scraps, songs, and pranks were recorded, to imbibe deeply of the haywire creativity that went on in these sessions. This deluxe edition re-issue has been re-mastered and includes a whopping 52 tracks on a single disc, including many that haven't seen the light of day until now. Liner notes by Lou Barlow and Eric Gafney. Amazon.com: The first Sebadoh album feels like a prized artifact from an era when a couple of emotionally wracked college kids could lock themselves in the bathroom with a guitar, drums, and four-track recorder and emerge a few hours later with something truly revolutionary. With 52 tracks crammed in just over an hour, this deluxe reissue of The Freed Man--originally released on cassette tape in 1988 for $1--captures everything that made Lou Barlow and Eric Gaffney progenitors of a lo-fi movement that inspired countless other maverick musicians from Kurt Cobain to Beck. Matching tongue-tied folk confessionals with unruly punk noise and primitive samples, it doesn't really give a good indication of the sharply conceptual work that would follow so much as offer an invaluable insight into the inner workings of one of the most important acts of the DIY era. --Aidin Vaziri Customer Reviews

 Rating: - How is this "The Freed Man"?A lot of good memories are associated with Sebadoh's "The Freed Man." I used to play my LP copy a lot during high school about 10 years ago. It was totally inspirational for me recording with my own four-track at home. Luckily back then, I was able to find a copy on cassette just in case something happened to the vinyl. It's low-quality stuff (audio-wise), but it has a nice feel to it.. not only do-it-yourself, but you-too-can-do-this. Even today, playing these songs makes me want to dust off the four-track all over again. However, this reissue from Domino Records, assembled by Eric and Lou, doesn't have "The Freed Man" resembling what we're used to. It had 32 songs. They cut out "Careless Mind Hands," "Growing up with You," ... Read More: |
