Although some won't be swayed that the first Seefeel album, "Quique" is their masterpiece, I'm definitely holding out for this one. "Succour" was the second album, released in 1995. It features the full woozy, loopy Seefeel sound, but it's so beautifully realised and perfectly formed. A design classic, if you will.
Obviously heavily influenced by My Bloody Valentine (though I'm pretty sure the band always denied this and claimed that they were lumped together by a music press who couldn't see the differences), this is a much sweeter affair. Although, having said that, there is a delicious darkness at work here too. Neither ambient nor song-based, this is a wonderful concoction of traditional rock instrumentation which has been grinded through the sampling process in such a way that the resulting noises are somehow indefinable and difficult to get a handle on.
Like a moth fluttering around your head as you drift off to sleep. Pretty, but also horrible and disturbing. Caught in an interzone between light and dark, dream and reality, comfort and discomfort. This is such a brilliant album.
I've got the remastered issue of "Quique" lined up if anyone's interested.
