Just been listening to some old Seefeel. You know the original stuff from the 'quique' era, fuck they were a good band. A seriously deep motherfucker of a band. Brings a teer to your eye that they ended. |

hard to believe it's been about ten years since the first records were released. they still sound fresh. have you heard mark clifford's cocteau twins remix ep, called "otherness"? it was released under the cocteau twins name, but all four tracks are mixed a la seefeel. it makes a very nice addition to the seefeel canon. |

Seefeel is one of my favourites. Great stuff. Polyfusia and Quique are amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
quique is good eh? i bought that album almost two years ago and i dont think i have listened to it once. hmm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
intruder, it seems that you've overlooked the obvious point to buying cd's. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) no, i remember that day. i bought so much stuff that day i still have the plone album to listen to as well. i think i'll pop it in today when i get home. i liked succour though. is that what its like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the only seefeel that i own is (ch-vox). i think that is good. anyone heard that one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

quique is different from succour, mostly. quique: more hypnotic repetition, longer tracks, softer and smoother sounds, less grainy, not as dark as succour. the dub influences and cowbell crop up on both albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah exactly, 'quique' and 'Succour' are very different records. I remember getting 'quique' back in like '94 and being very impressed. Actually not quite what I'd expected based on the one track I'd heard which came on a tape with Select magazine or was the NME. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to generalize, ch-vox is in the vein of succour, but leans toward the ambient. the earlier seefeel records (in which i'd include polyfusia (the first two ep's), quique and starethrough) are like pop/dub songs buried in filters and smooth, hypnotic repetition, while the later sound of fracture, succour and ch-vox is more gritty, dark, rough (ambient industrial?). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to me, ch-vox would be the least essential seefeel recording. if you bought only one, i'd probably say get starethrough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
i saw seefeel live when he opened up for the Cocteau Twins about 8 years ago in seattle. the all played together for a handful of songs. it was fucking beautiful |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hearing their older shit there is a depth there akin to BOC. Not quite BOC but kinda close. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
love their early stuff...very meditative. i like the afx mixes on the 'time to find me' vinyl. :) peace. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when face was face is a beautiful track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Totally agree on Seefeel never getting the respect they deserved....Not many people manage to merge the worlds of IDM & guitars without deminishing either... And Rich is obviously a fan; always easy to tell as any tweaks are pretty minor... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right. I need to start to get some Seefeel. where to begin? suggestions? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd say "succour"...pretty good one! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay! just ordered it. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you are aware that i wasnt serious, ofcourse? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you would have done much better if you ordered that bovine life+/vs.komet album i did a thread about ofcourse, but "succour" is also nice :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have vowed never to open any thread that bears your name. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who to? oh, and why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
god. oh, and god. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'Quique' I like a lot, deep shit for sure. That came out of Too Pure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if it's only god you vowed to, we can double cross him...i could post the stuff i post in threads i open in one of your threads...how about that :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah maybe I just got bored of a lot of artists but Seefeel are definitely underrated and not spoke about much which is very very odd seeing as they were serious, I mean serious originators in their time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, I say god, but I kind of mean dariusgriffin made me do it. he'll kick my donkey. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Succour is fine, its like SAWII. Succour and SAWII are kinda of so similar its spooky. Two unique records but a very similar style. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just love their shit because I literally grew up with them as they were happening and basically I got into them exactly the same time near as damn to the day as Aphex Twin. I can remember going to Camden in London and my sister buying SAWII and me buying 'Quique' (literally my first electronic ambient record) and well the rest is history. Beautifal times man, oh I'm gonna cry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooh...im not going to mess around with dariusgriffin |

Seefeel is my favourite band ever (well, so far). I like nearly every of their tracks, especially early stuff like Quique and Polyfusia. Their sound is so unique and beautiful, does great things with your mind when listening to it on headphones. I highly recommend everyone to check out at least two mentioned albums. In fact I like them so much that I would consider having played the last track on their last release CH-VOX ("Net") on my funeral/cremation. I wish they'd reunite :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I heard Seefeel for the first time when I was coming down from E for the first time. Sounded like Angels Breathing. I find Sigur Rios to be very derivative of seefeel. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so, do you agree with tolst. that "succour" is a good startingpoint? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd start with Succour or Starethough. If you like those check them all out. I think Succour is the only one you can actually buy these days though. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
took me some time to find a Dutch shop that stocks it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm listening to 'Moodswing' and I have to say it is one of the deepest motherfucker trax I've listened to in a while. This shit goes deep - real deep! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i found polyfusia used for $8 at relapse records in philly last night (metal label/store) this is the 2nd rare seefeel release i've found there. i got fracture/tied there about 6 months ago. polyfusia goes for about $100 on gemm and $70 on ebay i guess they don't check all the used cds they get in not that i'm going to sell it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really didn't like "succour" at all. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats cause its not as good as quique, just download the tracks 'through you' and 'charlotte's mouth', for gawds sake |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you know that if you say your name out loud it sounds a bit like you're saying "cunt"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes and if you anagramate the letters you get 'a nuts neq', mad eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you've been quite busy with that anagram haven't you? it is amazing. there's also 'suq N E ant', whereby the 'N E' bit has to be read in l33tspeak stylee. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you've lost me, but mines better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think you'll find I win this round |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh ok, nice one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
