Seeds of Change

• music

Digitally remastered edition of this 1980 album from the former Kansas member. Pieced together during snatched moments of downtime away from Kansas' Audio Visions recording sessions, Livgren's first solo album Seeds of Change is a long forgotten jewel. Featuring guest appearances from most of his Kansas colleagues, as well as cameo's from the likes of Ronnie James Dio, Jethro Tull drummer Barrie Barlow and Ambrosia front man David Pack; it not only showcased the guitarist's versatility as a songwriter, but also allowed him to push the envelope like never before. Songs blessed with striking arrangements and a surfeit of stirring hooks, 'Mask of the Great Deceiver', 'To Live for the King' and their ilk still rank amongst Livgren's greatest contributions to the pantheon of Progressive Rock music. 12 page full color booklet 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork, unpublished photos and new interview with Kerry Livgren.
