Vocals are great. I wish some of the songs had the harsh, dynamic electro moments like the self titled. Still a great album. I need to give it a one more proper listen.

Listened through this once, and about to go through again. This album is pretty good

Growing on me pretty fast.

don't know why I never bothered to listen to Yndi Halda before today. It's remarkable.

i wish ellis the vacuumchild didnt break up

Back from the TWDY + ASIWYFA gig. Holy ****, it was amazing. ASIWYFA was probably one of the best live performances I've ever seen. Also bought a limited edition vinyl and their album.

ive started to enjoy ASIWYFA's album more and more each time i hear it, but i think i would like them alot more live than on cd. they just seem like one of those bands.

yeah, definitely. they don't sound like one of those bands to me tbh, they have great song writing skills and really proggy sections.

thats awesome, i'm pretty jealous, sounded like an awesome show to go to

May have missed it, but add Caspian to the list... simply amazing.

The new Caspian was a bit of a letdown.

I'd dearly like to see Crippled Black Phoenix live.

ah ok! you like the bass player :-)

...and what about the music? :-)

I think I heard some Sigur Ros on the last episode of V. Just thought I'd share that.

someone make that an avatar

no.

Timmeh jimmeh

working through some Mogwai at the moment

anyone like [i]Kyte[/i]? i'm relistening to their self titled, I didn't like it much first time round but it's pretty good

will check em out

listened to tons of Explosions last night, so good

explosions is pretty good, but whenever they wrote most of the music for Friday Night Lights, every meathead around started listening to them (at least around me), asking me if i ever heard of them lol like they discovered them and kept telling 'that they are sooooo goodoood' lol. idk, just sorta turned me off from listening to them. stupid, but w/e first breath after a coma is an awesome song though

i've only heard one of their albums and it bored me to tears :(

mogwai is sort of doing that to me as well, though I liked [i]Young Team[/i] more than their second album. it's usually the kind of stuff which is just simple guitar patterns and melodies, with not much else going on that most people seem to claim is making so much out of so little I can't really see anything in.

so, trying to break into post rock. I guess i'm up for a lot of ho-hum until I find the good stuff

yea, there is some post rock out there that is alright when served as background music, but thats about it

i enjoy the genre, godspeed is excellent imo, but there is a lot of plain/boring post rock available

I liked Talk Talk, [i]Spirit of Eden[/i] was nice, Mutyumu's [i]Il Ya[/i] was excellent as well. I guess I prefer post rock that is bit more vibrant and exciting with timbral textures, the sort of dreary lo-fi stuff with tremelo picked guitars building up to a climax where some distortion kicks in comes off as dull.

I agree with you on that one with one major exception. Yndi Halda. If you haven't, check them out. They kind of fit the mold of that Explosions type, but they're really (really) good.

Enjoy Eternal Bliss is like a perfect album

i'll look into them, thanks

yeah, Yndi Halda is crap frig amazing.

Also I'm a huge Sigur Ros nutsucker, I think they're absolutely brilliant. You may or may not go for em based on your (very) legitimate complaints about most post-rock; unlike the guitars in Explosions, Jonsi's got a hugely distinct and interesting sound to his playing, really sets it apart. Maybe you'd be bored though :shrug:

And that assumes you haven't listened to Sigur Ros, which is probably silly

I thought the last Sigur Ros album was absolutely terrible but their other stuff is quite good. () is my favorite.

Med Sud doesn't really reflect their sound properly, it was kind of their 'pop' record. For what it was I enjoyed it - Gobbledigook is sheer goofy, happy pop nonsense - but it wasn't the post-rock I was hoping for. ( ), Takk, Agaetis Byrjun, all phenomenal.

Yeah, (), Takk's and Ageatis are the best.

med sud... is amazing. the beginning of the album is great to listen to, but then from ara batur till the end of straumnes is the best 20 minutes of music i think ive heard

anyone listen to new silver mt zion song?

came here to post that, song is so sick

yea, i'm pretty excited to hear how the new album is going to turn out

yes.

talk talk, slint, gy!be, do make say think, tortoise, storm and stress and the six parts seven are probably the only pr groups i like anymore

Mutyumu is so amazing. And do check out Mono if you haven't. My favorite songs from them are Ashes in the Snow, Everlasting Light, Yearning, and Moonlight. Those would be great starting places in terms of songs.
