Quite possibly Seefeel's most accomplished release. 'Quique' epitomizes their aesthetic for FX drowned guitar loops, unaffected vocals and percussion that sounds as though it had been dished out on empty oil drums.
Tracks like 'Polyfusion' and 'Plainsong' (a much more fleshed-out version than the one previously available on 'Pure, Impure') represent some of their finest work. 'Filter Dub' is one of the greatest moments in shoegazer history with its dense, hypnotic guitar melodies.
Step forward and smell the ether. A classic album that was definitely well ahead of its time. Hypnotic analog beats, sensual basslines and lush detuned analog textures mixed with looped MBV-like guitar effects and hidden vocals. A true landmark, that has inspired future artists such as Ulrich Schnauss and dare i say Boards of Canada.
There's a promo white label 2XLP version of this record with alternate track listing. I have a copy of it on cassette, and the new tracks are as good as the known published tracks! Still looking for the vinyl though...
