I woke up really early this morning and had a wonder in the park near my house hoping to catch a glimpse of the usual congregation of birds there when a strange ambient [embientona in Russian!] song started playing on my mobile Walkman. I've been rediscovering Seefeel lately and I thought it might make a good post so that other folks could discover this amazing band for themselves. Between '93-96, Seefeel developed a form of sample-based rock that used guitars to generate a sound closer to ambient techno. Following the release of Quique, their first [and probably best] album, Seefeel represented a new point on the map where shoegaze met the more euphoric, ethereal end of rave. The song is called Hive, but it should really be listened to as part of the album [and in order]. It's a haunting tune with all manner of brilliance encoded therein. Here it is in FLAC for those well-meaning perfectionist folks:
Seefeel - Hive
