Pitchfork

Before verb-happy Do Make Say Think, there was Seefeel, the London quartet who helped forge an ambient bridge between the ethereal shoegaze sound de rigeur in the early 1990s and the burgeoning IDM scene. They garnered a loyal cult following with a series of increasingly danceable releases on Too Pure, Warp, and Aphex Twin's Rephlex imprint, before going on indefinite hiatus in 1996.

At least one of those releases, 1993's debut Seefeel LP Quique, continues to command considerable sums on eBay since falling out of print some years back. All that price-gouging comes to an abrupt end April 24, as Too Pure reissues the Seefeel classic and influential LP Stateside in deluxe, two-disc format. Rejoice!

Quique (Redux Edition) collects a remastered edition of the original LP and a second disc comprised of rarities, compilation tracks, alternate mixes, and six songs which have not yet graced the ears of man, nor woman. Outside of the band, and probably their friends, and maybe some closer relatives and studio employees and pets-- and those pets may well be dead by now. But we digress!

Quique Redux arrives in the UK May 14 with the same goodies. The release also features super-nifty packaging and liner notes by Seefeel principal Mark Clifford, so that you may see something while you're totally feeling that lovely music.
