In late 1998, singer/songwriter Robert Oakes formed the folk-rock/world-fusion band Seedensoul, an eclectic group that drew inspiration from a wide array of cultural sources. The band – which also featured Jason Loughlin, David Hunscher, Jonathan Ward and Michael Robbins – finished its self-titled debut album in May, 1999 and played a series of gigs in the NYC-area, where audiences began to take notice of their artful, passionate music and exciting live performances. Not long after the completion of the record, however, members of the group decided to pursue other interests, and by fall of that year, Seedensoul had disbanded.

In early 2010, Oakes worked with Mastering Engineer Garrett Haines of Treelady Studio,
Turtle Creek, PA on a remaster of the 1999 release, which is now available online.
