(Ch-Vox) Redux

Seefeel’s third studio album was recorded for Richard D James and Grant Wilson-Claridge’s Rephlex label, as a return favour for two remixes Aphex Twin (a huge fan of the group) did in their Too Pure period. This is the first time it has been available on vinyl since 1996 and adds an extra LP of bonus material, mastered from original DAT transfers by Stefan Betke aka Pole. Comes housed in a new gatefold sleeve by the Designers Republic with poly lined inners and digital download code. “Mark Clifford and his mates have moved through labels like Astralwerks and Warp before landing at the front door of the Richard James label Rephlex, and along the way they have scattered some wonderful pearls. For ‘(CH-VOX)’, it’s an especially lush match of aesthetics -- sort of a condensed version of the Aphex Twin landmark record, ‘Selected Ambient Works II’. Picking up at the tail end of Seefeel's last album, ‘Succour’, we once again hear ‘Utreat’, a dark meditation of phrases that makes Darren Seymour’s bass sound like an electric piano, or is it Clifford’s electric piano that sounds like a bass? Sarah Peacock’s dreamy vocals hover almost out of earshot, and possibly her guitar is plugged in somewhere, too.” - Keir Langley, All Music
