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)

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

Meantime, new live single:

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 03:42 (four years ago) link
ooh, but also i hope they haven't wrecked this.
― koogs, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 09:42 (four years ago) link
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.)
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 16:24 (four years ago) link
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).
― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 22:47 (four years ago) link
Is Clifford involved again?
― With an Extreme Burning (aka The Tormentor) (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 11 October 2019 02:35 (four years ago) link
he’s the only constant member
― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Friday, 11 October 2019 05:59 (four years ago) link
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.

Terrific show tonight in LA!
― Elvis Telecom, Monday, 4 November 2019 11:45 (four years ago) link
Super excited to see Shigeru and Iida are still in the lineup, they brought amazing power and grind to the sound. Instagram feed showed a recording session the other day - fingers crossed it's a new album, I loved the self-title as much as Succour, my favourite of the first incarnation.

Anyone else seen this tour? Very torn on whether to make the two-hour drive next week.

what was the show like, elvis? curious what kind of material they played

I haven’t listened to the S/T is awhile so I’m not sure what the exact set list was but perhaps half was Quique tracks. Ishihara is definitely the MVP-the low end dub way out in front pulling things along. I wish more bands sounded like this.
― Elvis Telecom, Saturday, 9 November 2019 11:26 (four years ago) link
were the peel sessions availble before (other than taped off the radio at the time)? they've been released as part of the huge warp box, but are also available separately (digital only?)

(reading the link that i posted, they are also on vinyl)

Figured this revive had to do with the show last night. Anyway, they were great! Seemed extremely shy but the tunes themselves were hypnotic.
― Evan, Friday, 15 November 2019 15:52 (four years ago) link
I wish I went a couple of days ago but sometimes it's really cold out and you just need to sleep. How loud was it?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 15 November 2019 15:59 (four years ago) link
Pretty loud, but not piercing. Total brain massaging goodness.
― Evan, Friday, 15 November 2019 16:04 (four years ago) link
i saw them at that empty bottle show! they were great, but to be honest the sound system at the bottle was not quite up to the task. not usually a big deal with a lot of shows there, but a big part of seefeel's appeal (for me at least) is the wonderful quality of the sound that they create, so hearing it (unintentionally) distorted was less than ideal. don't get me wrong, though - they ruled. :)
― Peaceful Warrior I Poser (Karl Malone), Friday, 15 November 2019 16:13 (four years ago) link
Only hiccup last night was something not working in the guitar rig on one song, but we wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for him shrugging at the sound guy after twisting knobs on the amp.
― Evan, Friday, 15 November 2019 17:04 (four years ago) link
Chicago show was great. Definitely not too dynamic on stage but my eyes were closed half the time anyway. Massive basslines a la the Orb maybe, incredible control over endlessly permutating waves of feedback. I'd love to see the signal chain on the guitars, keys, vox. The entire show was nearly seamless. Highly recommended.
― Pyschocandles, Friday, 15 November 2019 17:12 (four years ago) link
just in case anyone needs stuff that strongly resembles Polyfusia
http://rxgibbs.bandcamp.com/album/disclosure-ep
happened across him via his remixes for Dead Leaf Echo, which are strongly worth chasing down.

i'm not made of money so i'll probably get the CDs - am pretty glad they've done it that way tbh

all mastered by stefan bettke aka pole btw
Ooohhh cool!

vinyl bundle from Bleep not crazy (ymmv).

Nice t shirt at Bleep too

just to correct my stupid typo because it's bugging me, these are obviously coming out on warp, not warped
― building a hole (NickB), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 15:08 (three years ago) link
the digital versions are £9 each, including rupt and flex which seems to contain all the others. what am i missing?
― koogs, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 16:24 (three years ago) link
ha, bit of an oversight there! might be worth contacting the band about that tbh
― building a hole (NickB), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 16:28 (three years ago) link
yeah. like that time i told the local hmv that the autechre ep box shouldn't be £6.99...
― koogs, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 16:39 (three years ago) link
i think the trick is to buy it first and then tell them afterwards!
― building a hole (NickB), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 16:43 (three years ago) link
ordered the cds. bandcamp wanted an extra £9 for 'tax and delivery', bleep wanted £3.50.

came to about US$50 for the CD box set... a little on the high side, but I wanna hear that unreleased stuff!
― mark e. smith-moon (f. hazel), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 18:03 (three years ago) link
Only $30 for the 4CD set on Bleep! I haven't bought a CD in years but I'm tempted to buy this one. The shirt on the Warp store is cute, there's also a Quique one on their Bandcamp page I like too, I can't decide what to get. Both are much, much better than the shirts they were selling at their show a few years ago (https://seefeel.bandcamp.com/merch/seefeel-sfl4e-graphic-t-shirt-gold-on-red)
― Warmed Regards, (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 18:15 (three years ago) link
$42 with shipping from Bleep in the US... the t-shirts ARe nice tho
― mark e. smith-moon (f. hazel), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 18:28 (three years ago) link
Listening to this set now (was sent promo MP3s). I'd heard this group's name over the years but never actually listened to them before. I wish someone had told me how much they sound like Pole/early Main/various Macro Dub Infection tracks; I would have been all over this 20-25 years ago.
― but also fuck you (unperson), Friday, 16 April 2021 17:18 (three years ago) link
Yeah their shift from being a 'band' in a recognizable but already kinda in-their-own-world sense on the initial EPs and album absolutely ramped up rapidly, in that exact context as you describe.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 16 April 2021 17:20 (three years ago) link
they were on Too Pure at the time, back when it was full of Faith Healers, PJ Harvey, Stereolab and Moonshake. and i didn't get it immediately, but it grew on me and is now a firm favourite.
they are one of those bands where i wish i knew more bands that sounded like them.
