1989–1993: Formation and early years
Prior to forming his own project, Ian Broudie had been a member of the 1970s post-punk band Big in Japan, and later formed the new wave duo Care with vocalist Paul Simpson.[3] By the late 1980s, Broudie was better known as a producer than as a musician and had produced albums for new wave and alternative rock artists such as Echo & The Bunnymen, Wall of Voodoo and The Fall.
In 1989, Broudie began recording alone under the name “Lightning Seeds”. The name derives from a misheard lyric from Prince‘s 1985 hit single “Raspberry Beret“, in which Prince sings the line “thunder drowns out what the lightning sees”. Broudie performed all vocals and instruments on the band’s first album, 1989’s Cloudcuckooland, which he also produced. The Lightning Seeds achieved success with their debut single, the psychedelic hit “Pure“, which reached the top 20 in the UK and the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. Both “Pure” and followup single “All I Want” also reached the Modern Rock Tracks top 10.
Broudie resumed his production career after the success of the first Lightning Seeds album, but returned to song-writing in 1991 and moved labels from Rough Trade to Virgin. He then resumed his Lightning Seeds recording career, drafting Simon Rogers as his studio partner in production, arrangements, and instrumentation. Rogers, who had also helped with programming on the first Lightning Seeds album, would continue as Broudie’s in-studio partner throughout the rest of the Lightning Seeds’ career.
The album Sense (1992) featured the song “The Life of Riley“, written by Broudie for his son, which reached No. 28 in the UK Singles Chart. An instrumental version of the song later became better known as the BBC TV theme for the “Goal of the Month” competition. The album Sense would mark Broudie’s first Lightning Seeds song-writing collaborations with former Specials singer Terry Hall.
