Seefeel "Quique" re=issued in deluxe version

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Seefeel was a wonderful early 90's band influenced by My Bloody Valentine and The Orb (wasn't everyone then?) but DEFINITELY had their own thing happening. Their first album "Quique", and a collection of EP's "Polyfusia" were fabulous. Dreamy, ethereal singing compliments of Sarah Peakock combine with Mark Clifford's effects laden guitar backdrops, along with dub-heavy bass lines and what sounds like both electronic and acoustic drums/ percussion to make a very impressive sonic landscape that should appeal to fans of ambient/shoegazer/dream pop music.
Imagine The Coucteau Twins jamming with Jah Wobble and having Kevin Shields add some of his (at least at one time!!) trademark guitar warblings and you have some idea.
Their first album/cd "Quique" has been remastered and a second disc of remixes and extra tracks from the same sessions has been added. I got mine for $17 from CD Universe.
Listen and be prepared to be transported to your favorite place in your mind and listen to sounds of cosmic tones for mental therapy.
