I find that the urge to create is paramount, almost primordial. For better or for worse my approach is often reactive, a harmonizing of experiences and intentions. Of late this has yielded an album that reflects my fascination with and idealization of the chiptune scene. Each song therein has begged, borrowed, or stolen from those in whom I found inspiration. My hope is that an identifiable Seed A.I. signature pervades amidst these influences. What I do know is that while it has been a long and scattered process to get this work completed, every step of the way has been taken in fun, patience, and love of music. - BML

Album review by Thom Uliasz: I've given Circadian Rhythm a few solid listens now, and I've just got to say it's turned out great. The title as a conceptual starting point, is dead on. Like the arpeggio that the album starts out with, climbing and falling and repeating - you've illustrated the cyclic nature of organic life by condensing a day into 9 tracks. Where modern electronic music relies so much on convention and short attention spans, you've got a volume here that is best listened to in it's entirety, brimming with unusual notions and orchestrations. Overall, the album's lush organics and digital sparseness really paint an inspiring picture of a day I'll revisit again and again.

Album review by A.J. Jackson: The sophomore release Songs for Samus from Seed A.I. hits all the right spots. An inventive array of 8-bit videogame sounds mixed with live drum tracks, this album has instant appeal. The songs are complex in execution, yet simple in delivering the pleasure gained from reaching a new level, a hidden gem, or defeating a mini-boss. This album is the soundtrack for the brightly colored 2D side-scrolling life you’ve wanted ever since you were twelve. Songs for Samus asks us "What’s wrong with fun?" while taking itself seriously, and that’s exactly what you want from a record of songs written for a deadly girl in a power suit.

Album review by Brendan Dempsey: Imagine if Tron and Depeche Mode collaborated on a ground breaking new electronic music album. It might be cool, it might be strange, but one thing is certain, when compared to Seed A.I.'s new album, Lullabies of the Lost, it would suck. Such is the polished talent, and ecstatic audio pleasure of this much anticipated album. Filled with spiky surprises, but always leaving a smooth satisfying after taste, Lullabies of the Lost is the refreshing release that electronic music fans have long lusted for. Experience a sentient sound that seems to tease and play games with your personal memories. Pushing past the traditional spectrum of computer music, Lullabies of the Lost will both illuminate and shadow, like an optical echo in your mind. Already, listeners have praised Lullabies of the Lost as "beer for the ears," and likened it to "an 8 bit arrow to my head." Said one enthusiastic listener, "My mind was glowing, it made me question the boundaries of music, in fact, even the boundaries of reality!"
