Review from Wire Magazine (May 2007):
"The best of the first, superior wave of postrock, Seefeel obliterated the beginnings and endpoints of the guitar. Their shuddering mosaics of weightless, flickering loops and quietly insinuating rhythms traversed the chasms separating rock, Ambient and electronic music long before Radiohead climbed out of their bunk beds. 1993’s Quique was Seefeel’s debut album and it still sounds staggering, processing the guitar via dub tactics until it becomes a transient, ever-shifting instrument without organs. The group were often acclaimed as the next step after My Bloody Valentine’s evacuated song skeletons; it’s worth noting that Seefeel were saddled with that tagline while people were still hopeful that Kevin Shields might actually make another record. This ‘redux edition’ features an extra disc which mostly contains abstractions of album tracks, different versions of “Charlotte’s Mouth”, “Filter Dub” and “Climactic Phase #3”; it’s all completely essential."

By Cathi Unsworth from Wire Magazine (January 2010):
"At the inspired instigation of their friend Geoff Cox, who became the project’s unofficial PR, Johnston and Edwards made an album with the noir writer Derek Raymond, an adaptation of his 1990 book I Was Dora Suarez. The novel was a revelation. Raymond wrote of a London “scoured with vile psychic weather”, a frightening, fracturing city that evinced Margaret Thatcher’s curse: “There is no such thing as society.” His nameless Detective Sergeant worked a grim adjunct of the Met called A14 Unexplained Deaths, tending to the souls of the lost like a grievous, avenging angel. The black-haired girl at the centre of this story was a picture in a book of crime scene photographs that had affected Raymond so deeply he spent the next 18 months constructing the identity of Dora Suarez and, as he put it, taking her out of “that lifeless place”. Johnston, then living off Brick Lane, channelled the score from long walks around the East End, taking particular inspiration from the sounds of Liverpool Street Station. Empathetic sensitivity to the text is reflected in the soundtrack he and Edwards constructed, the sound of the trains forming the opening piano motif, the ominous drones and fractious free jazz squawks and screams that render the atmosphere of terror and decay, bringing the private hells of Suarez, her killer and the DS into focus."

Review from Wire Magazine (August 2006):
"Brooklyn guitarist Kip Uhlhorn and German multi-instrumentalist Simon Wojan first met in 2002 when Uhlhorn was touring Europe with his group Panthers. Requiems Der Natur 20022004 combines the guitarist’s rock stance with Wojan’s more electronically inclined leanings. Other hands were invited to leave their mark on the project and the tapes were further treated by the duo before being finally let loose. The pleasing result is a sometimes stunning neo-psychedelic experience where the musical spirits of This Heat, Ash Ra Tempel and The Mahavishnu Orchestra are evoked, celebrated and absorbed inside Uhlhorn and Wojan’s shifting cloud formations of sound."
