Oh, they definitely played older material at the Barbican. I'm never good with track names but at the very least they did Time To Find Me.
And yeah, that show made me want to hear the new album now.

faults is very good, yes. can't decide whether track 4 (which is a lot emptier) is the best or worst thing on it though.
ooh, new gig date, 31st jan. king's place too.

btw, the warp link above says you can get free copy of Faults ep for signing up to their seefeel info list.
― koogs, Sunday, 24 October 2010 20:42 (fourteen years ago) link
I am not liking Faults so far. I want to, but it just sounds kinda cheesy and bad and not very Seefeel to me.
― BENDLESS WOOKIEE (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 25 October 2010 02:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Just checked the Warp link - you get the song, not the whole EP, if you sign up.
― scott pgwp (pgwp), Monday, 25 October 2010 14:19 (fourteen years ago) link
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)"
― koogs, Monday, 25 October 2010 15:10 (fourteen years ago) link
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!
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Monday, 25 October 2010 18:45 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― mother cabrini maxwell (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 25 October 2010 22:51 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

are playing london on monday. am tempted.

(description sounds good, that is. not actually heard it, is on pre-order. ep was promising)
― koogs, Thursday, 27 January 2011 13:32 (thirteen years ago) link
their new self titled album is pretty good. 'dead guitars' has that lovely bent note / chord change thing happening.
― nonightsweats, Saturday, 29 January 2011 03:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Is it officially out?
― scott pgwp (pgwp), Saturday, 29 January 2011 17:16 (thirteen years ago) link
monday in the uk. amazon says mine's in the post...
― koogs, Saturday, 29 January 2011 18:10 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

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.

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

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.
― Flesh emoji (Sanpaku), Sunday, 24 January 2016 07:59 (eight years ago) link
Yes! I love that Eaux album, still kind of mystified that so few people seemed to notice it.
― stupid children forever (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Sunday, 24 January 2016 08:06 (eight years ago) link
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...
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 28 January 2016 23:00 (eight years ago) link
I really like the Disjecta (sp) album, kind of like the seefeel dude working a wheezy ICBYD-era Aphex vibe
― lute bro (brimstead), Friday, 29 January 2016 04:07 (eight years ago) link
there were two or three (?) disjecta albums iirc

― lute bro (brimstead), Friday, 29 January 2016 06:29 (eight years ago) link
yeah i love that one
i was thinking of "looking for snags" EP as an album i guess
― the late great, Friday, 29 January 2016 06:35 (eight years ago) link
that one has "kracht", massive beat
― the late great, Friday, 29 January 2016 06:44 (eight years ago) link
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)
