Out Now on too pure
"Quique stills sounds jaw-droppingly beautiful."
- Uncut - 4/5
"...in the anything-goes laptop age, Quique still sounds timeless."
- Pitchfork - 8.4
Seefeel have been defunct for over a decade now but affection for the band has not dwindled since.
In the early-nineties they resided on too pure - a burgeoning London independent label with a killer roster - and after a handful of EPs, they released their debut album, Quique, to much fanfare. It turned out to be their only album for the label (if you discount Polyfusia, a collection of EP tracks) before decamping to Sheffield's iconic Warp Records and then on to Aphex Twin's own Rephlex label.
Quique is regarded by many as their finest work and has become both a landmark and collectible record. It's long been deleted but good news arrives in too pure and the band joining forces to finally reissue it; it's been digitally remastered, given a 21st century facelift and had an extra disc of mostly unreleased material added.
A document of its time, Quique returns to the shelves on May 14th 2007 and still has that charm, incredible craft and density to keep the existing fans happy and should also win over a whole new audience.

"The listener never just listened to Seefeel, rather became enveloped and consumed by their music. Their live concert experience was something akin to being hit by a train. They made the most uncompromising, beautiful noise and I miss them."
Robin Guthrie, Cocteau Twins
