:lol:

Post Rock isn't a trend, it's just been getting more recognition from mainstream magazines and stuff. I doubt it will go much farther past that, though, namely because there's no way these tunes could get significant radio play.

Sigur Ros was my gateway, and still by far my favorite.

I think this genre has turned really snobby since it's become semi-popularised. I think it's nice to see that a band like Explosions in the Sky can acchieve success, and only says positive things about the music industry at the moment. I know they can be quite boring and derrivative at times, but by the same extent I don't think they make [I]bad[/I] music.

I heard Sigur Rós on mtv. That is surely a definitive sign of a trend. >:-[

I need their debut still. Ugh.

Sigur Ros has been pretty big for a while.

They sold out one of the biggest music venues in Houston.

Which was the first Post Rock band?

They're definitely the biggest post rock band right now.

Must be their Radiohead similarities or something.

[size=1]Because it's obvious that it's not their actual music that garnishes so much attention...[/size]

Txus - Bark Psychosis, Slint, Talk Talk, Tortoise, I think all are first wave post rock.

[QUOTE=Txus;14010656]Which was the first Post Rock band?[/QUOTE]

Arguably Bark Psychosis, since if I'm not mistaken the term was coined when describing them. But really the roots of stuff like this was going on in the 70s so idk.

Yeah, I don't mean the roots. I just wanted to know which band was the first to be called "Post Rock". Bark Psychosis sound good, I've heard the name before....I should look for them.

I still haven't heard any first wave post rock.

/nub

I've heard Talk Tallk and Tortoise and I didn't like them :-\

You might like Bark Psychosis though. Hex and Codename:Dustsucker are awesome albums.

I take that's Codename: Dustsucker :p

Nice, I'll try to get my hands over those albums.

[QUOTE=Spiritofmosa;12564016]i realised there are a couple of great Godspeed you black emperor songs like 'speed garage' in limewire but they are not in any album..[/QUOTE]

If nobody answered this, I will.
If somebody did, I still will.

'Speed Garage' is a part of 'Antennas'. I was asked what the favourite GY!BE song of mine was, and I said 'Speed Garage'. And then I found out.. YOU KNOW!

Oh, and post-rock kicks ***.

Been digging Mogwai's [I]Mr. Beast[/I] today, I think I overlooked it on my first listen.

[QUOTE=Kyle;14012160]Been digging Mogwai's [I]Mr. Beast[/I] today, I think I overlooked it on my first listen.[/QUOTE]So am I, as you just gave me a link for it :p

Sigur Ros are boring...

:cool:

Sigur Ros hate on the other hand......:(

I've tried to get into them loads of times but I came to the conclusion that they are just boring.

There are more interesting than most bands out there, foo'

I agree. How can you think Sigur Ros is boring and yet like Mogwai?

I guess Pelican would be Post-Metal, right?

[quote=Txus;14010727]I've heard Talk Tallk and Tortoise and I didn't like them :-\[/quote]

there's no hope for you

[QUOTE=Elmo McCheese;14012732]I guess Pelican would be Post-Metal, right?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, Pelican is post metal.

I used to have my post rock folder separate from my post metal one - in fact, my post metal one was in a subfolder of Doom & Atmospheric Metal.

Recently I've just combined post rock and post metal in a folder together, on the same level as rock, metal and jazz etc. When music becomes atmospheric, it transcends genres, and there's no denying that many so called 'post rock' bands can become rather heavy at times. TBH, it's better to keep them together.

oh yes i found that out long ago after downloading their disco ; thanks . I love that song man.i still think Speed Garage sounded better than that part of Antennas though.

i though eits new album was pretty good too. i like the first and last track ; keyboards really make a difference

and i cant believe the album leaf is coming down to singapore.

anyone have any links to post-rock or post-metal torrents?
anything besides:
ASMZ
DMST
EITS
GY!BE
Isis
Jaga Jazzist
Jesu
Mogwai
Pelican
Red Sparowes
Sigur Ros
Slint
Tortoise


and I have Talk Talk's It's My Life, but I find it far from post-rock.

EDIT: I bought my tickets already to see EITS in Detroit march 26th

get Laughing Stock by talk talk

Listening to [I]& Yet & Yet[/I] by DMST right now, it's really tight.

I don't get how [I]Goodbye Enemy Airship, the Landlord Is Dead[/I] isn't considered dmst's best album by far. I like their other stuff and all, but that album is amazing. Some consider it their weakest album though. :confused:[quote=Dr. Jake Destructo;14010661][SIZE=1][/SIZE]

Txus - Bark Psychosis, Slint, Talk Talk, Tortoise, I think all are first wave post rock.[/quote]Yes, but the Durutti Column too, imo.

[quote=Kyle;14020501]Listening to [I]& Yet & Yet[/I] by DMST right now, it's really tight.[/quote]

i listened to some of it today

it sounded like tortoise light

Except tortoise isn't good.

go listen to karl blau you ****ing faggot

I don't even know who that is., but he's definitely amazing because I listen to him.

Beth Gibbons = Best Woman ever.

Tortoise = Booooring.

[QUOTE=bwnstl;14012491]I agree. How can you think Sigur Ros is boring and yet like Mogwai?[/QUOTE]Sigur Ros has just always been ambient noise to me while Mogwai are more structured so to say.

Weird, for me its the other way around. I like Sigur Ros, but i think Mogwai are boring as hell

yeah there's not much structure to sigur ros just a bunch of ambient noise

retard
