Seefeel - Quique (9 tracks) +Album Reviews

Just gorgeous

"Seefeel's Quique steps in right where 'My Bloody Valentine' left off. Loveless and Quique are 2 of my favorite CD's of all time. The 2 are just perfect together. I now know why MBV never had a follow up to Loveless. It was because it would have sounded exactly like Quique, and they would have looked like rip-off artists. I say, this was the MBV killer. But, even if you aren't an MBV fan, get it. It's one of the most important releases of the early 90s."

Seefeel - 'Quique' (Astralwerks) 4 1/2 stars

Mike Reed | USA | 10/21/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I've been trying to snatch up a copy of this CD for awhile now.'Quique' is apparently this UK band's first release.A worthy title where dreamy electronic successfully cross-breeds with techno.Most of the nine cuts here average seven minutes in length.Total duration is 63:23.Good song structure,I thought.Great chill-out music to fully experience.No best tunes here,they're all good.But,the ones that I thought were most impressive are "Climactic Phase #3","Industrious" and "Plainsong".Line-up:Sarah Peacock-vocals,Mark Clifford-guitar,Darren Seymour-bass and Justin Fletcher-drums.Might appeal to fans of My Bloody Valentine,Orbital,Spacetime Continuum and Mouse On Mars."

A pillow of sound

"I can't really supply you with any background about this band, but I can tell you that this is a splendidly crafted album. A blend of floaty My Bloody Valentinish mood, and catchy digital atmospherics, See Feel is a sedative. I play this album at the end of long days....just enough rhythm to keep your attention on the melody, and not too much to distract you from the true ambience that drips from every song. You wont' regret this one, truly beautiful from beginning to end."

The prettiest and most entrancing electronic music

"I love Seefeel. This album is extremely difficult to find. I have a burned copy, my friend made it for me after I somehow lost the original? I've listened to this for many years now as my head was at rest against a pillow. I never get tired of it, ever. If you love washes and waves of soothing music floating above your head, you'll love seefeel."

Seefeel's Twinkles Frozen In Time

"Seefeel was a relatively shortlived band, and this album serves as their peak release. They collaged a couple of EPs to make their closest thing to an equal effort when they made Polyfusia, but it would seem Quiqe was the most conceptual and full effort they would make. When starting out, with the idea of being a sort of contemporary rock band, Seefeel would become drawn to electronic instrumentation and looping and multi-instrumental compositions that combined all of those elements along with lush and subtle female vocals. Some songs have a more human touch and others have a more synthetic production edge. This album alludes to ideas of new wave and shoegaze beginning days, sometimes in aesthetics, other times by way of experimentation aspects. The splicing together of all the electronica and guitaring and bass work and sometimes acoustic drums/sometimes drum machines really turned out to be something of a different breed. Lots of sound washes and thick ambient layering. With the adding and subtracting of soft drones accompanied by the tender and angelic voice of Sarah Peacock, Seefeel was sure to make a mark as completely unique and soul-charming. This album is very much psychedllic and atmospheric, and it remains humble all the while. Real shame the band never captured that creative premise later on with the Soccour LP; the Starethrough EP seems to run along the same angle as Quique, but leaves much to be desired, as it is only four songs long. For the amount of time Seefeel were together Quique, to me, showcases how wonderful things can turn out if people think outside the box and push themselves to create expression that they haven't done before."
