the siger is Sarah Peacock who is (obviously) female.but the main guy behind seefeel is Mark Clifford,who has also released records on Warp under the name Disjecta.oh,and the EP this year on Polyfusia Records.

this is an amazing track, i always tend to play it if im doing really chilled dj sets at cafes or a lounge type venue...
...as a release tho i think its a touch odd... if they included the original spangle it would have been 10 times more justifiable...
but not complaining... awesome track, happy it was released.

I like Seefeel, but the original Spangle has got nothing on the Autechre remix.

The original Spangle is not bad, but Air-Eyes from the same EP is so much more beautiful. Pure Seefeel-yumminess.

SEEFEEL were/are(?) so underrated...one of the very few bands that successfully merged the bliss of IDM with Guitars without it sounding like an after-thought....
Well worth picking up any of their albums if you see them....I know AFX is a big fan (as shown by his wonderful mixes, which actually make use of the original tune - a sure sign that Rich respects em...)....

The AE remix is OK, but it doesn't hold up to the original IMO.

i remember reading an interview with Aphex where he was talking about Seefeel and about how when he did the remix he had so much respect for the original track 'time to find me' that he couldnt bring himself to tear it apart.and how Seefeel just blew him away because when he listened to their music it just left him in a space or a void or something.

Oh yeah, I really recommend you to do so, I'm a big fan myself :)
Their albums: Polyfusia: Shoegazer electronica. Beautiful, droning, swirling effected guitar loops. More Like Space is fantastic.
Quique: A lot like Polyfusia, but more electronic and more stripped down. Imperial and Plainsong are my favs
Starethrough EP: Lot less guitar effects, yet Sarah Peacock's serene vocals are still in it. Ideal for chilling out late at night. The original Spangle is probably my least favourite on it.
Succour: A lot like Starethrough EP but more abrasive for the greater part. Guitar FX, like in their Polyfusia or Quique are hardly there or hardly noticeable anymore.
Ch-Vox: Soothing dark ambient soundscapes. Great stuff for listening to in bed, if it weren't for Hive brutally disrupting your being half-asleep. This release is hardly representative for their work in general. Still an excellent mini-album though, but hey, I'm biased ;)

Autechre can't be described with words, it must be heard. Whenever I'm asked what kind of stuff I'm into, I don't even try to describe it. I just pull out a cd and let them hear for themselves. I don't think there is any point in trying to describe it. I have never even read autechre describing themselves.
Anyone could hear any degree of description on an AE song, go and listen to it, and no matter what, it aint going to sound like what you told them it was going to sound like.

um HELLOOOO i would very much like to see some people agree with me on the cover art subject THANK YOU.
and none of this 'well cover art doesnt always need to look pretty' rubbish.
it needs to convey the beauty of the music. this image conveys how you'd feel after a raw egg cocktail.
damnit :(

it looks a bit amateurish, like someone made it at home on their computer in about 30 minutes.
but it's not so bad as to warrant anyone to start yelling "um HELLOOOO" as if she's some kind of character from "Sex and the city"..

does cover art fucking matter? if the tunes are solid, so what?
if i was bothered about art my 12" collection would be half the size it is. dont get me wrong, i love a good cover, but the lack of one would not stop me buying a release....but then again i do listen to my records.

The amateurism of this cover pales in comparison to the MANY Designer's Republic covers like on Port Rhombus EP, Venus No. 17, GAK etc.

my comment was in favour of the spangle cover. the 3 mentioned covers in my previous posts are boring and uninspired, to say the least.

they're standard template covers they use for some releases - my guess would be they use them if the artist isn't bothered with having any coverart.

And even a simple template can be better looking than those standard purple ones they have now.
That's just my opinion though, I'm guessing they try to keep it as simple and neutral as possible.

yes i now regret the 'umm HELLOOO' thing, but i have never watched a single episode of that show, just so you know. I am deeply offended. 'as if she's a character from..' i guarantee you that i'm not female, whatever you're implying.
there are not many cases of cover art this awful imo, hence my reaction. it struck me as extremely odd not having seen a single comment on it.
simple and neutral is good. a white cover with only black letters (in a decent font) saying 'spangle' would've done nicely.
i agree that the music IS what a release is about, but cover art DOES make a difference when you go out and buy records.
For example, the cover art for MHTRTC captures the entire feel of the record in that single image, as does geogaddi, imo.
maybe funkmaster could do a (another?) 'favorite cover art?' thread. I'd like that.
