Hi @ all. What kind of music makes Seefeel ? Where can I listen to some samples ? Thx @ all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The sadly missed, and long lamented Seefeel were an experimental rock outfit....that made beautiful soundscapes of guitar sound...much like an experimental electronic version of MBV. Plenty of dubby effects, howling feedback...and plenty of distortion... The Polyfusia release should give you a good idea of what they sound like...and my fave is their last release in 1996...called CH VOX. Pick it up at warpmart (?). Or slsk. :P |

perhaps you can find some samples on warp site their music is kind of alike black dog, early warp stuff succour is excellent |
||||||||
|

I don't think they sound anything like The Black Dog...but that is just my opinion...I'll shut up. Their closest relative is probably Mouse On Mars...or maybe Oval...and definitely a MBV/shoegazing influence there. (IMHO) |
||||||||

|
|
well, black dog could be a bit of...how about lfo? :) |
||||||||

I dunno...as I said...I see not much similarities with LFO...excpet maybe the love for deep deep bass tones. But I feel that comes from a deep reggae/dub background rather than a techno background... LFO was more of a distillation/evolution of the acid-house aesthetic. I dunno...but I don't see much of that in Seefeel as well. What they DO sound like is a rock band with filters and a love for dub basslines...but what the heck...all this is just talk...I could call them whatever and you could call them whatever...what actually matters is that they made some great music while they were at it. Hail Seefeel! |

'Starethrough' EP is fine too.and Mark Cliffords remixes of the Cocteau twins are incredible (his new Disjecta cd 'True-Love By Normal' is a bit of a belter too if any of you Seefeel junkies havent yet got it) |
||||||||

|

Oh yeah...those remixes were quite spectacular...were they on the Otherness EP? |
||||||||

Wow thanks @ all who answered. |

What about Fracture Tied from Seefeel ? |
||||||||
|

Quique is SOO underrated |

seefeel definitely does not sound like black dog, lfo, mouse on mars, or oval. take my bloody valentine, add some dubby qualities, smooth out the rough edges til everything is soft and flowing, add hypnotic repetition and you've got the classic seefeel sound. from polyfusia (a compilation of the first two ep's) through the starethrough ep, their sound was ethereal, repetitive, flowing dubby soundscapes with mostly unintellible echoey female vocals. basically, everything except the bass and percussion is dependent on extensive fx processing. the first ep has an indie feel, rough around the edges, and the sound is gradually smoothed out and refined in later recordings. for fracture/tied, succour and ch-vox the sound is more experimental, abrasive, with rumbling and grainy textures with ambient touches. a few tracks here and there resurrect the vocals and dubbiness, but not much. if you like seefeel, seek out the "come alive (climactic phase) remix" that was released on the volume seven compilation, (or was it eight?), and the remix of ae's "basscadet," and as someone mentioned the fantastic "otherness" ep by cocteau twins (remade by seefeel's mark clifford). |

Your post is awesome. Seefeel rules. (the remix is on Volume 7) Don't forget the Starethrough EP with the Incredible lux1. Sadly almost all of it is out of print. |

everyone talkes in past sense... and says things like 'the sadly missed' etc whatever happened to them? |
||||||||

Hard to say, but I imagine it was Mark Clifford pulling a Roger Waters on the band and taking it in his direction with little input from the rest of the members. After the split all the members got involved in quite a lot of other projects. In my opinion none of them were as good as the original band, but Mark Clifford's work as Disjecta and Woodenspoon was pretty good. |

I stumbled across a new . It's a good read for old Seefeel fans. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
that was an excellent interview. that site had a lot of other interesting interviewees, bachir attar and terry riley, to name two. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good find....he rarely ever seems to do interviews...i can only think of about two or three others in all the years ive been a fan of his music. |

A while ago I stumbled across some Seefeel white label 12" with 'stare through [charlotte's dub]', 'signals [momentum 1.3]' and 'filter dub [low pass]' Anyone know anything about it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Again: Quique cannot be mentioned enough! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only know that I want to hear it. Seriously, this is the first I've heard about this 12". I hope 'stumbled across' implies 'purchased'! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I purchased it, rather than got drunk and walked over it. You still running the server? Not been able to connect in oooh ages. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, and people still chat about 'the good ol' days when xceque was here...' Nothing has changed on this end, though. I'll reset your password and send you the details though email. |
