It'll take a while though. :) Since i have to look through my DU mails.

I hope this time works because you're missing a great album. A question, Why aren't you in the DU?

That's cool.

I'm not sure. I just think I've been too lazy. I think about when I'm not at the computer, but when I'm sitting in front of it, I've already forgotten about it.

Check your mail, Bjorn.

Thanks.

Guess what everyone! The granduer of Pelican finally hit me.

I'm basically stunned listening to TFIOTWBTF.

Dude, that's awesome. It is a stunning album.

Drought is such a good song.

You guys into Jaga Jazzist?

Yes.

Very much so.

I really love What We Must and then rescently I picked up A Livingroom Hush ( I think thats what its called). Such powerful music.

How much Pelican do you guys think could possibly be improvised? A song like Aurora Borealis sounds to me like it could be completely impromptou..

The thing about Pelican is that their songs are very dependent on the [i]feel[/i] that each instrumentalist puts into their musicianship in order for the songs to build. It's very organic in most cases, which is why they are superior to most bands who have a similar vein of music. As far as improvisation goes, any amount of it could result from what I just described. Who knows?

All I know is that the new song I heard them play live didn't sound nearly as organic, so I was a little upset. They get less brooding with each album.

is mew post rock ? how about thom yorke. Thy are all under the same family to me imo.

Thom Yorke? I don't think so.

Mew is a pokemon if I'm not mistaken.

mew is awsome

Mew is not post-rock.

Mew is alternative rock.

And a pokemon.

So thanks to Kage, I am listening to The Galilean Sattelites by Rosetta right now.

Discuss the grandeur of this band now!

Also, since I don't have the second disc, tell me about it too.

I love Absent. The disgusting chords in the beginning and the transition into that absolutely brutal section..Amazing. Not to mention the drumming, so spastic, so perfect. :p

I never figured out what was so good about Pelican.

I got Australasia, and maybe I'm not listening close enough, but thing I like in my post rock is amazing mellow melodies that just make you feel like you're having a giant orgasm (see: Jesu, 65dos, Yndi Halda) and I just don't hear any melody worth even keeping in my head when I listen to Pelican.

I only got around to appreciating Pelican after I focused on the build ups in the songs. There aren't many beautiful melodies and they aren't the most atmospheric band, but for the minimalistic style of post rock they play, it's really astounding what kind of power they can generate.

Rosetta just scratches me right where I itch. I've listened to that CD a million times, and I just get lost in it every time, sometimes I come out of it and I forgot where I was or what I was doing.

Jake's description of Pelican is really good. Listen to that guy.

I need Australasia. The Fire in Our Throats was such a sick album.

I've been listening to Godspeed's F#A# (Infinity) album on repeat since late yesterday night.

I keep asking Kage for Rosetta but he always ignores me. :( :(

The first half of Fire in Their Throats is okay, but I think the highlight of the album is the untitled track 4, and the last two tracks. Pelican really shines when they play mellow stuff. The best part of Australasia is the acoustic track as well...

Back off, man. :angry:

I'm really sorry, I never saw it. Or maybe I did, I dunno. Really sorry, though.

But, yeah, Jake, if you could go ahead and forward him those links I gave you, that would be cool.

Not a problem.
