Biography
Beginning as a standard rock band in early 1992, the quartet known as Seefeel soon grew bored with the restraints of normal musical forms and started working with loops and programs rather than lyrics and choruses, creating a sound all their own. They combined the ambient guitars and ethereal vocal aesthetics characteristic of the shoegazer/dream pop movement with the rhythmic structure of electronic dance music.
Originally released in 1993, Quique became a must-have for any serious collector of ambient techno in the early nineties. The only artist ever invited to remix The Cocteau Twins, Seefeel remain a real inspiration to a variety of artists, from Boards Of Canada and Ulrich Schnauss through to Analogue Bubblebath-era Aphex Twin and back round to Tom Middleton (contemporaries include KLF's Chillout, Aphex's Ambient Works and The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld).
The key players in Seefeel were Mark Clifford (guitar and programming), Justin Fletcher (drums and programming), Sarah Peacock (vocals) and Darren Seymour (bass).
Seefeel eventually went in an increasingly electronic direction, and splintered off into many side projects before eventually going on indefinite hiatus in 1996.
