Well, Silvania are a Spanish band. They started off sounding exactly like a
Spanish Slowdive but have become more electronic. They released an album
called Passaje III which is supposed to be fantastic and very much along
the lines of Seefeel Quique era. I havn't heard it yet but I mail ordered
it a while ago and expect to get it this week. They also released a remix
album of songs from Passeje III that are remixed by Autechre and a bunch of
other really big names (I just can't remember who they are right now). They're
stuff is really hard to find unless you live in Spain but if you're
interested drop me a line and I can give you the email address of the guy
I mail ordered it from.
