I've been listening to this this afternoon, its quite good. My favourite tracks are Vex and Gatha Although in my opinion I must say that I think 'Quique' is a better CD IMO Anyone else like Seefeel? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yep. I have their last single on Too Pure Records, called 'Pure, Impure', which has the excellent 'Moodswing' on it; plus it also contains AFX's finest remix, 'Time To Find Me' (fast and slow mixes). They also did a song for Artificial Intelligence II called 'Spangle', which I thought was really good. And I heard some Disjecta stuff, which was also v. good. What are their albums like, and should I perhaps invest in them? |

"Moodswing" is a good track I have to agree |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah i have all the seefeel cds... i love succour... |
||||||||
|

I like seefeel. But it is something i have to be in the mood for. I can't just toss on a seefeel album when i am bored. It has to be the right time! |
||||||||

i can put on quique any time i want, and it PUTS me in the mood for seefeel. :D that's the only one i have though, what other albums are as good? |
||||||||
|

I like all their albums, but Quique is probably my favorite as well. It's unique - I've never heard anything that sounds close to it. If you liked Quique you'd probably also like their first two EPs (which are out of print). Their sound lost a bit of its organic quality when they moved to Warp. If you like that style check out Mark Clifford's solo stuff as Disjecta and Woodenspoon. |

the rephlex album chi vox or whatever it's called is good - very minimal and dark though |
||||||||

yeah i think seefeel generally and 'succour' especially are vastly underated.i reckon they have influenced so many artists its not true.i was just listening to jim o'rourkes 'i'm happy and im singing...' album,and i kept being reminded of seefeel (not saying he has ripped them off or anything...just that they were ahead of their time). you might want to check out the recent disjecta ep (thats mark clifford,seefeels main-man)...called 'true-love by normal' (on Polyfusia,but you can get it through WarpMart).its sublime loopy klanky guitarwonderment. |

"spangle" was first released on the "Starethrough ep" - that ep is great - the last track, "lux 3" is the best... the us label "Astralwerks" have released seefeels two first out of print eps as "Polyfusia" and feautures 10 great tracks (both AFX mixes). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As far as I know Succour is the only thing still in print. I hope I'm wrong, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think you are right, I had a look on Amazon. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i agree with the jim o'rourke similarities. i recently got interested in seefeel and was reminded of o'rourkes more avant garde stuff, indeed. seefeel were massively ahead of their time, apparently although they did stick quite some bland or even annoying tracks on succour, taking away much of the prettiness of the album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the autechre remix of spangle is great, kind of sawII-ish |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Succour, Clean Pit and Lid and Looking For Snags are my favourite albums on Warp. Those and Tri Repetae. There's just something really special about the atmosphere of Succour, it gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. |
||||||||

|
|
yeah,i think 'quique' is out of print.too pure are such slackers.i know a lot of folks who dont have the album but want it.its well overdue a re-issue.perhaps Warp should do it.after all they signed seefeel cos of that album.agree with xceque about the seefeel and disjecta releases on warp as well.some of the labels finest moments. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Yeah, all seefeel stuff is good, they have their own unique sound, I personally prefer Quique (plainsong and imperial are so very good) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got succour only recently, listening to it now, i like it so far |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like Seefeel and I like Disjecta. Mark Clifford's latest (I think) project is called Sneakster. They have an excellent album called Pseudo-Nouveau, released on Bella Union in 1999. Anyone heard this? |

Succour is definately underrated.Seefeel are one band I've listened to consistently since their early career and they never bore me.I always admired them for the change in direction with "Succour",they could have easily done another "quique" but didn't.They have a unique sound that's definately been poorly emulated by others for years.Some of the side projects that emerged from seefeel were really good.Scala had some great stuff and the collaborations with Locust were brilliant too.Talking of underrated artists,Locust is IMO."Weathered well" and "truth is born of arguments" are 2 of my most listened to electronic albums of the 90's and the latter album has an amazing seefeel colab track on it "Penetration".Seefeel also did my favourite Ae remix so there.:) |

i prefer john williams' soundtracks to star wars episodes IV through VI |
||||||||

I like Scala, but it really shows the weakness of Sarah Peacock's voice. Beauty Nowhere is always a worthwhile listen though. Locust is great, though not strictly speaking a Seefeel spinoff; Van Hoen produces them I believe. Van Hoen and Darren Seymour cut a record called Aurobindo: Involution which is some cool noise. |

ha ha ha! |

I find that CH-VOX sounds totally different realising it's their last release. Sounds so dark and minimalistic, as if seefeel is disappearing forever in a void. Gives it a whole new dimension. |
||||||||

|
|
Well put. I love that album. |

One of the few bands that actually got Techno & did something cool with it... Narcotically hypnotic... |

jivver: Maybe you should consider stop bashing Jedi Chris? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
maybe you should tell him to stop bashing just about everyone... which he's seemed to be doing of late! |
