''Quique'' is the debut album by British music group Seefeel and was released through Too Pure Records. The album was recorded in July 1993 and released in December later that year. ''Quique'' is a predominantly instrumental recording that is a mixture of both electronic and rock music. Guitarist Mark Clifford worked continuously on tracks while other members either completed them or provided component ideas. The album was released in December 1993 in the United Kingdom where it received positive reviews from the British music critics. The album was followed up with the EP ''Starethrough'' on Warp in 1994. It was re-released in 2007 in a deluxe format that included unreleased, re-mixed tracks and other music that was only released on compilations. The album continued to receive praise on its re-issue. ==Background and production== Mark Clifford formed Seefeel in 1992 after posting advertisements for potential group members. After performing a few shows and recording demos, Seefeel signed to the Too Pure Records label in late 1992.〔 Too Pure's co-owner Richard Roberts stated that upon hearing Seefeel's demo "there was no obvious song for radio, but in my opinion it felt good. As we viewed ourselves as an experimental label that didn't want to be tied to a sound or a scene, it seemed to make sense to release something with the band." Seefeel chose Too Pure as they felt the label had respect for its artists, despite the low budget given to them to record ''Quique''. Clifford described the composition of the track as "messing around with a particular sound and then that sound would quite often just evoke a melody. Because the sounds we used were very much based around harmonics and stuff."〔 The songs were completed before recording in the studio and many tracks had been performed live prior to the album's release.〔 The only song written in the recording studio was "Charlotte's Mouth".〔 All the songs on the album were completed in a way that would allow Seefeel to re-create their music in a live setting.〔 ''Quique'' was recorded in July 1993. During their time in the studio, Seefeel also recorded the EP ''More Like Space''.〔 Clifford felt that the tracks on ''More Like Space'' were simpler to create while those on ''Quique'' were more involved and took longer.〔 Daren Seymour stated that Clifford was "working on a constant basis. The other members of the band contributed either complete tracks or component ideas into the process – some where accepted or not as Mark acted as the editor, and quite rightly so at times!"〔 After the album was mastered, the group had Too Pure remove a track from the album before it was released. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quique」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
