Unheralded masterpieces, number one

Everyone has these in their collection.
This is from Seefeel's Succour, which was the culmination of their brief stay at Warp Records.
Much more glacial than their guitary, vaguely My Bloody Valentine stuff on Too Pure. They split up not long afterwards, with Mark Clifford continuing to make jagged, abstract electronica as Disjecta on Warp for a time. Sort of derivative Aphex, frankly.
But Succour was a tiny, perfectly formed masterpiece. Has so few elements to it, but everything feels just right.
They've recently reformed, sounding more like Fennesz than anything else now, but this early stuff is priceless.
