You should check out some of Seefeel's stuff again. Each album has a
slightly different style to it.
My favourite is probably "Quique" (Too Pure), which is probably the
best showcase of the entire group's talents (thereafter, Clifford
seemed to take centre stage more). Everything sounds nice and organic,
with a slightly unpolished feel to it that works well.
"Succour" (Warp) is also another favourite, although this time the
style is more stripped down, at times sounding like an IDM-ish hybrid
of Cocteaus and Dead Can Dance with a sprinkling of Autechre for good
measure.
"Ch-Vox" (Rephlex) is quite refreshing -- Seefeel at their most
ambient and minimalist, almost to a SAW2 extent. I didn't take to it
at first, but over the years it's kind of grown on me.
