hey there-
I just got the new WIRED today (June 94, not the zippie one =) and in the
back in i think the "Street Cred" section they had a review of Quique.
Thought all you would be interested....
Seefeel's thick compositions bombard the listener with repetition in the
hope of tapping into some primal instinct, yet they ultimately fail.
Strip away the excessive layers of judicious echo and delay, and each
track consists merely of a few chords repeated in loop after relentless
loop. A startling homogeneity of tiresome sounds accumulates over a
lifeless drum track and the occaisonal swoop of Sarah Peacock's barely
perceptible voice. Put simply, Seefeel shows genre-bending potential but
ultimately smothers it under the short-lived novelty of noise processing.
