At the CD store I looked for two albums. F#A# and Young Mountain and they had neither. So I just can't find any post rock :/

Most stores don't have F#A# and nobody cares about This Will Destroy You.

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo;14351072]Well, I mean they aren't my favorite thing ever. But I enjoy it, just because something isn't drastically different from the norm doesn't mean it isn't solid music.[/QUOTE]

Blasphemy!

Anyways, uh tight vid of Russian Circles

[url]http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2014512357[/url]

The original track was dubbed over the actual audio, but the footage is pretty cool.

so have any of you newbs checked out rhys chatham yet

he is post rock granddaddy

i got to see that mother live. he didnt have anyone super cool with him though :(

on the same tour i saw him on, some shows he played with members of godspeed, tortoise, sonic youth, and do make say think, among others.

he played his guitar trio piece at this tiny venue and overloaded the power, so in the middle of playing, all the amps cut out and all you had was this beautiful, faint E note rhythm with a super cohesive cymbal furry. after about 10 seconds of this everything came back on. but this happened several times. it was lovely.

his encore was equally great. he told all the guitarists to go into the "precise" tuning (aka get as out of tune as you can) and they pounded away for a few minutes. very interesting.

awesome night that was....

Neither are worth it.

that is a real tight vid, i saw that live. i honestly thing that death rides a horse is the best live song ive ever seend. it was so intense!

It's my least favorite track off Enter.

But with the live footage, it makes the song a ton better.

the entire enter cd is amazing.

Can someone recommend me a good Do Make Say Think album to start with, please?

Also, I've been digging Faraquet a lot.
..Are they considered post rock?
idk..they are good either way ;p

[QUOTE=bwnstl;14348139]You can start with Explosions in the Sky as an introductory course, although many here will tell you they blow (I like them). If you like them, you'll like Mono.
If you want to go a little more experimental, you can check out 65daysofstatic and see how they meld post-rock and electronica.
Pelican, Red Sparowes, and Sigur Ros are all staples of the genre and each have their own unique touch.
We Followed Tigers, despite the glitchy rips floating around, is one of the best post-rock groups out there.
If you want to go into more folk-y territory, Halifax Pier is a good start.
[B]Jakob's "Solace" is an excellent album.[/B] They're like if you took Explosions in the Sky and made it darker and more interesting.
Mouth of the Architect and Rosetta both offer more Isis-esque metal.
Russian Circles is less post-rock and more instrumental rock, but still good (especially if you like Pelican).

That's all I can think of to introduce you to post-rock.[/QUOTE]

Jakob is outstanding - I have a massive music boner for them. :D

Seen them twice this year so far.

[QUOTE=penelope weird hands;14367908]Can someone recommend me a good Do Make Say Think album to start with, please?[/QUOTE]

I'd recommend their newest album over [i]& Yet & Yet[/i].

Jakob is good interesting post Rock.

Just start with Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn

I think faraquet is more in the vein of math rock (i hate that term, but that's the only way i could describe it)

Anyone have a link to A Sun That Never Sets?

the Neurosis album?

[QUOTE=Wotan;14368607]Anyone have a link to A Sun That Never Sets?[/QUOTE]

I don't know, but "Watchfire" is my favorite Neurosis song, even after hearing [I]The Eye of Every Storm[/I].

[QUOTE=Concubine;14368614]the Neurosis album?[/QUOTE]

Yeah

i have the cd, i'll upload it for DU if you want it, or i can just give you the link when i'm done uploading.

I'm not on the DU, but I'd love an upload :) If you have any albums you're looking for, say it and i'll see if I have any that I could upload in return.

You might have to wait until tomorrow though, it's 1:36 am here, so i'm going to bed soon :p

Haha, that's fine. Whenever you have time :)

I would reccomend you to pass on listening to them.

But yes, they are post rock. Not good post rock sadly.

does anybody agree that lift your skinny fists is the best GY!BE album? or am i just crazy? and please dont say F#a#. U.X.O. will be exceptable choice. i have slow riot but never gave it the time to listen to it. it takes time to really get to know a godspeed album

I really need to check out GSY!BE, Sigur Ros, and Explosions in the Sky. I love Pelican, but that's as far as my post-rock education goes at this point.

You have many enjoyable hours of listening coming up with those bands.

Anybody here get into a band called "Saxon Shore"? I think Im the only person on earth who has heard of them.

Nah, there was an album of theirs on the Daily Upload a couple months ago actually.

so has anyon elistened to rhys chatham or are you still all newbs >:[
