2) A hard rock/heavy psych band from Germany, they only released one album, titled Weed...!, in 1971. This is the Weed responsible for the songs "Sweet Morning Light, "Lonely Ship," "My Dream," "Slowin' Down," "Before I Die," and "Weed."
(Info from Crack in the Cosmic Egg)

Between the release of Uriah Heep’s albums “Salisbury” and “Look At Yourself”, in 1971, Ken Hensley went to Germany to record an album for a project simply called “Weed”.

This “concept” album related to an infamous rock’n'roll habit! Unfortunately the album sleeve didn’t list the line-up. Aside from Ken Hensley, some members of the 1970/71 Virus line-up were also involved, Bernd Hohmann and Werner Monka at least and possibly their rhythm section as well. All six tracks were composed by the concert promoter Bobo Albes and Phillips’ household producer Rainer Goltermann made sure the sessions in the Windrose Studios in Hamburg were preserved for posterity. The album comprised straight-forward heavy progressive blues-rock with twin guitars and organ to the fore, culminating in the excellent, long instrumental title track. Weed can be compared to other German heavy progsters of the era, such as Zarathustra, Blackwater Park, Epitaph and Armaggedon, as well as Ken Hensley’s similarly obscure (Head Machine) album Orgasm dating from 1969 or 1970.

Track List:
01. Sweet Morning Light
02. Lonely Ship
03. My Dream
04. Slowin’ Down
05. Before I Die
06. Weed

3) An elusive producer billed as +++WEED was included on Astro Nautico label's 2009 Atlantics compilation. Genre categorization is difficult, but the music can be described as psychedelic abstract hip hop, or experimental electronic. Hints of lo-fi recording, vintage ephemera sampling, and hazy, stoned out melodies.

About another music project called Weed:

Husband-and-wife team Dan and Cristina Handrabur, who were both born in Bucharest and fled Romania to live in Geneva, though they did not meet until they were both students in Geneva.
Dan was born in Bucharest, Romania. He began violin and classical music training at an early age. Even earlier he began a lifelong fascination with tape machines and tapes fed in backwards, the distant transmissions of Radio Free Europe coming through distorted frequencies and the phasing effects one can create by playing with a short wave receptor.

Granted a scholarship to study at the Conservatoire de Geneve at only sixteen, Dan sought music everywhere, spending time in record shops, meeting DJs who soon led him into clubs. Earning a set of Technics DJing at the landmark Club 58 on the resident's days off and soon after dropping out of musical studies and college to work odd jobs in order to acquire a Korg synthesiser and a Roland beat box, Dan was on his way to making reality out of the dream of composing and producing electronic music.

Drawn together by similar tastes in music and art, Dan and Cristina fell in love. Dan moved with his family to Toronto, Canada, shortly after his graduation; a year later, Cristina joined him, they married and later on they collaborated on music. Having relocated to Canada, he quickly became known among a new electronic music community that had grown in early nineties Vancouver, more in touch with Detroit and Uk.techno, Ambient, than the Industrial sounds this city is more readily associated with.

A string of projects followed: Outersanctum, Floatpoint, Vuemorph, Mere Mortals, Off and Gone, Weed.

As Weed, they blend ambient, psychedelic, trip-hop and electronica elements into their own unique musical blend and top it with Cristina's distinctive vocals.

In 1999 he returns to native Romania for a visit and decide to settle in a mountain village where life is as it was two hundred years ago. Horse drawn carriages, wooden stoves, secular traditional customs and lots of fresh air, the home of Outersanctum Studios.

He continues to produce albums, tours in Europe and hopes to be able to travel to India to learn the techniques of indian violin playing as well as the sarangi, an ancient, almost rudimentary stringed instrument with a distinctive sound.

My Dream
Weed Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my dream I saw ahead another thousand years
I saw a vision of the world in fear
In my dream

Then I saw, the battle of the whole world lost
And left no-one to sit and count the cost
In my dream

But my head, was flying high above the tired strife

I saw beyond the actual waste of life
In my dream

Overall Meaning

In Weed's song "My Dream," the singer recounts a vivid and foreboding dream. In this dream, the singer sees a thousand years into the future and witnesses a world consumed by fear. The language used to describe this vision is ominous and unsettling, suggesting that the future is bleak and uncertain. However, the singer's focus then shifts to a specific event: the battle that led to the world's demise. This event is portrayed as tragic, with no one left to count the cost of what has been lost.

Despite this bleak outlook, the singer's own perspective is elevated. Their head is "flying high" above the strife of the world, suggesting that they have a broader view of existence. The language of the final line, "I saw beyond the actual waste of life," underscores this sense of transcendence. Even in the face of doom and destruction, the singer is able to maintain a sense of hope and possibility.

Overall, "My Dream" is a song that grapples with profound existential questions. It asks what might happen if humanity continues on its current path, and what we can do to prevent or mitigate such a future. It also suggests that, even in the face of such darkness, there is room for hope and transcendence.
