The Lightning Seeds were founded in 1989, and consisted mainly of just Broudie and who ever he chose to work with at the moment (such as Paul Simpson, and Icicle Works' Ian McNabb and Chris Sharrock).
To promote it, they staged a number of preliminary "pop quizzes" throughout the UK, with the winners receiving all-expenses-paid trips to the final in London, on November 10, the LP's release day.
Celebrity teams also participated in the final, including ones from NME, Xfm, TFI Friday, Top Of The Pops and the Lightning Seeds themselves.

The Lightning Seeds : Like You Do...Best of the Lightning Seeds
Like You Do...Best of the Lightning Seeds is a splendid collection of Ian Broudie's finest moments, offering a definitive portrait of his appealingly sunny, catchy melodicism.
Drawing from all four of the Lightning Seeds' first albums, the collection hits all of the high points -- including "Three Lions" and a re-recorded "Waiting for Today to Happen" -- and adds two new songs, "What You Say" and "Brain Drain," which are as engaging as the group's hit singles.

 Ian Broudie: Tales Told: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Former Lightning Seeds singer Ian Broudie's first release under his own name, Tales Told, is destined to languish alongside the latter releases-- though not before its scattered moments of pop pellucidity spark some second thoughts.
Best known for his shimmering synth-pop as the primary (and often sole) member of The Lightning Seeds, Broudie has taken a requisite turn toward the meditative on his first full-length since 1999's Tilt.
Gentle guitars replace bouncy Casio tones, and Broudie is more likely to whisper words of regret than recite unabashedly over-the-top lyrics like "love is the truth, I realize," from the Seeds' exquisite 1989 hit "Pure" (a clear precursor to The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights", in all its sappy glory).

Many seeds require heat to germinate reliably, so if you've not already got a heated propagator, get that on your Christmas list without delay.
When your seeds arrive keep them in a cool, dry place (safe from mice!) until it's time to start sowing - excessive warmth or dampness can do a lot of damage.

The Seeds, mainly the one-man project of Liverpool artist-producer Ian Brodie, have more of a groove than their peers.
Many of the songs tend to fall in the New Order camp, except that the vocals are more upfront than the rhythm tracks.

But talking of football, it hasn't all been European Championship glory for the Lightning Seeds.
Their excellent new album Dizzy Heights is the Lightning Seeds fourth collection of delicate, bittersweet melodic songs and last year's Jollification LP produced four top 20 singles with apt titles like 'Marvellous', 'Perfect', and 'Lucky you'.
The Lightning Seeds are a little different from most pop bands because up until Dizzy Heights, Paul Hemmings (guitar), Martyn Campbell (bass), and Chris Sharrock (drums), were just Ian's mates who backed him when the Lightning Seeds played live.

Chris Sharrock, original drummer with the Icicle Works, later joined Broudie as the Lightning Seed's "resident drummer."
"Sense," an incredible debut album for the Seeds, immediatly placed them at the top of the pop firmament when "Life of Riley" achieved Top 40 success in the UK.
Although his collaboration with Paul Simpson, during his time in "Care", was (for me) the pinnacle of the man's achievments, the work that he went on to produce with the Seeds is by no means a poor second.
