NeutralThunder12: Kashiwa Daisuke isn't a post-rock artist.



It's hard to say really, the best way to describe all of his music is....ambient/electronic but I say post-rock because it has all the dynamics of post-rock and it gets pretty heavy at some points. But I guess ambient/electronica is the best way to describe it

Most ambient uses that bell-curve structure, at least, most successful ambient. William Basinski basically personifies it.

And Mono is really bad. I mean, like unlistenable rehash bad.

lol Bitchfork I don't think you like symphonic post-rock dude. You came here, and have basically put down every major band in the genre. What are some other good ones then?

Oh I love most of what GY!BE has done, I just have problems with their execution.
And I love Maybeshewill.
Sigur Ros had some good albums, although () is completely overrated.
Tortoise is the shit.
65daysofstatic is godly.
Do Make Say Think is cool.
And So I Watch You From Afar is worth a listen.


Anyone listen to Vespers?

why?

Extremely boring. Nothing special. In the context of the genre, they're not needed. As a solitary piece, their discography is still relatively unpleasant.

() has three really good tracks on it and the rest are aimless drifters.
LYSFLATH is basically as bad as GY!BE could ever be - their concept is fragile and that meandrous piece of crap proves it.
ASIWYFA is amazing. Nuff said.

Outside of 1, 3, and the closer, the album's beyond tedious. Agaetis is near-classic.

LYSF is like a 2, while Yanqui is a 3, F#A# is a 4, and Slow Riot is a 4.5
