seefeel thread for discussion of relevant informations pertaining to the "quique redux" 2cd superbonus reissue (and other seefeel matters)

ah, ok, just the track for signing up. down a bit it says:

"Preorder at Bleep now to receive the new Faults EP for free instantly
(offer expires 17 December 2010)"

I see Succour is available from Bleep on CD again... the original release somehow got lost in the shuffle, but it's a really good album!

Succour was too sparse and not textured enough IMO. The best part of Quique was that it feels so dense; you could get lost in it.

Yeah but the sparseness is what makes CH-VOX so great. It's a giant spaceship encased in ice.

Seefeel's original trajectory was kind of like watchin the terminator go from a fleshy bulked up Austrian dude to a metal skeleton.

^^^^this makes me want to dig out the entire Seefeel back catalogue and listen to it in slow motion.

loads of scrapes and whirrs.

sounds good.

are playing london on monday. am tempted.

(description sounds good, that is. not actually heard it, is on pre-order. ep was promising)

their new self titled album is pretty good. 'dead guitars' has that lovely bent note / chord change thing happening.

Is it officially out?

monday in the uk. amazon says mine's in the post...

mine arrived, am listening now. sounds like synthesizers were harmed during the making of this album.

went to warp website to check title and tracknames and it's listed as out on the 7th, which is a week later than previously advertised.

"The addition of **DJ Scotch egg** and former Boredoms drummer E-da... immediately align the new-look Seefeel with the aggressive ambience of Oneohtrix Point Never and Emeralds" - Uncut Magazine

!!!!!

lovely lp, if you like dark fuzzy things.

reminds me, somehow, of burial.

Ooh, I'll be ordering this. I've been playing Succour a ton lately.

A ton of these sold of the exact same listing... always makes me nervous but I have to assume it's legit. Waiting for it in the mail now.

These are in every record shop in Seattle. Bought my copy at Everyday Music on Saturday and got the blue vinyl which is supposedly random and limited to 1000 copies.

i have that one track, a harsh truth, on a leaf records ep from 1995)

UNRELEASED MU-ZIQ REMIX OF "CLIMACTIC PHASE 3" WHAT?!?!

https://soundcloud.com/mikep/seefeel-climactic-phase-3-ziq-remix

pretty sweet

y'know, I'm ordinarily not really one for post-rock but I bought the Modern Classics Recordings reissue of Seefeel in a fit of LITA brand loyalty but never bothered to play it until just recently. turns out I love it to death; it feels like it'll slot in perfectly alongside PiL and Harmonia and Kevin Bobby Dunn and other stuff like that. it's a really beautiful pressing too - gorgeous blue vinyl, thick card stock sleeve, nice dust jackets; buy it if you have any interest in this album and ever encounter it while out in the wild.

I was tempted to do so thread necromancy a few weeks ago, but thanks to jamescobo, may I just say:

Anyone who loves 90s Seefeel needs to hear the Eaux album Plastics, from 2014. Spotify.

Yes! I love that Eaux album, still kind of mystified that so few people seemed to notice it.

I was a big fan of the Sian Alice Group, but never really seemed to connect with them when they reconstituted as Eaux. Should listen again...

I really like the Disjecta (sp) album, kind of like the seefeel dude working a wheezy ICBYD-era Aphex vibe

there were two or three (?) disjecta albums iirc

seefeel makes me sick, like leftover salad.

hmm i mean this one, anyway: http://www.discogs.com/Disjecta-Clean-Pit-And-Lid-Promo/master/2452

yeah i love that one

i was thinking of "looking for snags" EP as an album i guess

that one has "kracht", massive beat

the cd ep was originally (simultaneously?) two 12" eps. and has 8 long tracks so you could count it as a compilation lp.

there was a later, self-released disjecta ep on polyfusion, same label as put out the autechre remix of spangle. and almost nothing else: http://www.discogs.com/label/14963-Polyfusia-Records

actually, those two mark clifford eps, #003 and #005 are great. and that second was my first exposure to zavoloka who is worth investigating (ukrainian analogue glitch). (004 was advertised, iirc, as a mira calix release. don't think it ever appeared)

there were a couple of other disjecta tracks on compilations that i have. invisible soundtracks #1, er, others. (oh, discogs says that autechre All Tomorrow Parties lp and one i don't have on Sub Rosa)

two hour seefeel special on nts this afternoon, ch2 16:00-18:00 BST:

https://www.nts.live/shows/in-focus/episodes/in-focus-seefeel-12-th-april-2019

I loved that 2011 album, wish they’d done more with that lineup

they played a couple of european dates this february to celebrate the 25th anniversary of quique - not sure who was in the band though

still love listening to Eyes Alpha/Be Together from Scala's "To You in Alpha"

nts thing is on right now btw, just started

i should listen to these records more.

Meantime, new live single:

https://seefeelshop.bandcamp.com/album/sp-ga-19

ooh, but also i hope they haven't wrecked this.

If said single is how they're doing their live shows in general, I'm v confident in this. (Almost looking forward to next month's show more than Stereolab next week, just because I've seen the latter so many times and never the former, though I got into both pretty much at the same time in 92/93.)

Doesn't sound at all live to me, sounds like Clifford thought he might put out new remixes of Spangle and Gatha. Or if they are live, they sound mostly like triggered elements of the original recordings. I'm disappointed after the wonderful new directions of the self-titled album, to see them retread the same old same old (which was thoroughly played-out by Ch-Vox, much as I hate to say it).

Is Clifford involved again?

he’s the only constant member

for some reason i thought he was the only one NOT involved in the relaunch (which admittedly I haven't paid much attention to). good work, brain.
