most post-rock sucks though so you have to stretch to come up with good post-rock

[publius clodius]

i haven't listened to that in ages

my favourite 'conventional' postrock album is probably still the first mogwai one

[ryan patrick]

Et Sans - Par Noussss Touss Les Trous De Vos Crânes!

it's a kraut rock rip but it's good and it technically fits into post-rock

yeah Ten Rapid and Young Team are both pretty good whichever of those you mean

[publius clodius]

[publius clodius]

d would probably like wooden shjips

but if he likes ambient guitar music with drums maybe he should just listen to authentic krautrock

edit: i can never remember where the fucking j goes

actually i am. i transitione into post-rock by being into shoegaze. somehow, the two genres seem to mesh on some blogs.

i like Growing, from what I remember, but I haven't heard BCM or AC yet. I'll check that out. I don't mind noise, but most noise I've heard has been less than impressive.

i haven't listened to much wooden shjips, i'll get on that.

but no, i'm not a huge fan of ambient. i do like EITS (cliche') and Unwed Sailor; that kinda stuff, I guess. I dunno.

listen to this



ash ra tempel - s/t

"In light of the 1990s post-rock scene and the often clear links back to Krautrock of all stripes, Ash Ra Tempel's monster debut album stands as being both astonishingly prescient and just flat out good, a logical extension of the space-jam-freakout ethos into rarified realms. Featuring the original trio of Enke, Gottsching and Schulze, Ash Ra Tempel consists of only two side-long tracks, both of which are gripping examples of technical ability mixed with rock power. If more progressive music was like it, there wouldn't be as many continuing complaints about that genre as a whole. "Amboss" contains the more upfront explosions of sound, though it mixes in restraint as much as crunch. Starting with Gottsching's extended guitar notes and Schulze's cymbals, it begins with a slow, ominous build that is equally haunting, as mysterious as the cryptic artwork of temples and figures found on the inside. Quick, rumbling drums slowly fade up some minutes in, with more crashing guitar mixing in with the previous tones, creating a disorienting drone experience. The active jam then takes over the rest of the song at the point, the three going off just as they want to (Gottsching's soloing in particular is fantastic) before all coming back together for an explosive, shuddering series of climaxes. "Traummaschine," in marked contrast, is a quieter affair, with Gottsching's deep drones setting and continuing the tone throughout. Fading in bit by bit, the guitars are accompanied by equally mesmerizing keyboards from Schulze, creating something that calls to mind everything from Eno's ambient works to Lull's doom-laden soundscapes and, after more distinct guitar pluckings start to surface, Flying Saucer Attack's rural psychedelia. Halfway through, soft percussion blends with the music to create a gentle but persistent intensity, cue for a series of shifts between calmer and more active sections, but all kept more restrained than on "Amboss."" -allmusic.com

btw this was one of the first albums that got me into that whole "genre". in retrospect, few albums in the last few years have had such an impact on my musical taste

Today...

Giraffes?Giraffes! - Superbass blah blah blah...

[ravenguy2000]

oh there's a theme?

[neopryn]

yeah turning into a fish

i'm a fucking retard so i can't up "the body the blood the machine" but it's essential listening. i mean it's from 2006 so of course it's about life in a fascist theocracy but if you're not totally put off by that it's awesome.

[ravenguy2000]

i don't really pay attention to music, i just superficially let it pass through my ears so i can rank it in december
