Tilt (The Lightning Seeds album) Tilt (The Lightning Seeds album) Tilt is the fifth studio album from British alternative rock band The Lightning Seeds. It was released in 1999. After The Lightning Seeds had become a full band in 1996 with the release of the hugely successful single "Three Lions" and the album "Dizzy Heights" that November, numerous members left the band whilst Zak Starkey joined the group on drums in time for their successful greatest hits album "Like You Do... Best of The Lightning Seeds" (1997). The band's successes alienated band leader Ian Broudie, who preferred being an "outsider more than a safe bet".
Tilt (The Lightning Seeds album) mixed by Bomb the Bass member Tim Simenon who also helped with the dance beats throughout the album. Production duo Cutfather & Joe are also creaited with additional production on the album and for remixing "Sweetest Soul Sensations". Cenzo Townshend, John Grey, Kenny Patterson and Mads Nilsson all engineered the album, whilst in the liner notes of "Tilt", Joe Belmaati gets extra credit for programming work and Dave Bascombe for mixing the album. Departing from the group's indie rock sound, "Tilt" explores electronica and dance music, and features hard dance beats. Music writer Colin Larkin and Jason Ankeny of AllMusic
