Rageaholic Monkey posted:I've been listening to two songs quite often recently, "Mother" by Meniscus, and "Ruins" by North, because I have them on a mix CD I made for driving in the rain. Both get pretty heavy after a while, but especially the latter. Would you mind posting the tracklisting for it? That sounds cool and I've wanted to make my own for a bit now. It might give me some ideas (or I'll just use yours...)

Kerpal posted:Echoing support for The Samuel Jackson Five, Alcest, and even Agalloch and Fen (as metal as they are post-rock). Is there anything Similar to the Red Sparrowes that isn't Isis, Russian Circles, or North? I think Tides is fairly close.

Anyway to get the first link rehosted, it says it's down, and I don't really want to download the entire set. Also is there anywhere to preview or see anything of that Te DVD?

I don't know if this is the proper place for it since they're slightly more avant-garde or jazz, but also fairly based in psychedelic/noise rock, but I've fallen in love with the band Zu, and especially their latest album Carboniferous. It's such a bass-heavy, powerful and bizarre album that I can't help but love it. I also picked up their album the Zu Side of Chadbourne, which is a collection of "covers" by the band, and although it's a lot different than Carboniferous, it's still amazing. If you're a fan of the more heavy, jazzy or bizarre post-rock/metal/experimental rock stuff, do yourself a favour and check these guys out. edit: also crazy freak-out horn solos that will rock your world Technetium fucked around with this message at Jun 3, 2009 around 01:45 |

Oh wow that came out fast. Their debut was awesome, especially since they shied a little bit away from 65dos worship. I also can't wait for the new Caspian album, their first album is possibly one of my favourite post-rock albums now.

precision posted:Wait, have we gone this whole thread without mentioning Crippled Black Phoenix, the post-rock supergroup occasionally featuring members of Mogwai and many other bands who have released three albums this year and are, to put it incredibly mildly, one of the best loving things on this planet? Better than the new Russian Circles in my book, better than Caspian, better than Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia. Crippled Black Phoenix are probably going to be my artist/album of 2009 because goddamn do their new records kick rear end. Also, they only put out two albums this year, one is a compilation of the other two.  So far I think their new albums kill the new Russian Circles and Caspian; the only thing I've heard which might even come close is the new And So I Watch You From Afar album, that thing is amazing.

Proe Jetson posted:EDIT: Online I've always read countless comparisons of Isis to Neurosis but I'm honestly not hearing any of that. I think Neurosis sucks, their music can't grab me at all, unlike Isis'. Which Neurosis album did you listen to because Isis really are very indebted to them, and for the most part play a less harsh/heavy version of their sound. The two you should listen to, if you didn't, are Through Silver in Blood and Given to the Rising. The best description is Isis took Neurosis' sound and mixed it with some Tool and created their sound. Harsh vocals, slow build-ups to crescendos, "tribal" drumming, slow sludgy guitars. Isis stripped the sound of the weirder stuff, added some clean vocals and that's pretty much it, they're like a softer version of Neurosis. Really, give Neurosis another shot. Listen to the song Aeon off of Through Silver in Blood, they are a really amazing band that influenced countless bands after them. Isis are good in their own right too.

Jan posted:The problem I have with Neurosis is I've heard both awesome, instrumental songs and less awesome lyrical songs. Do they have any mostly instrumental albums I should be looking at, then? As far as I can remember every album has vocals on it. I think Times of Grace may have a bit less so you should check it out. If you can combine it with Tribes of Neurot's Grace (ie: have them both playing at the same time) since I guess that was how they wanted the albums to be played, and it's really good. Other bands and albums like Isis that are highly recommended: Mouth of the Architect's Quietly Irreversible's Age EP Russian Circle's Geneva the aforementioned Red Sparrows

That's a shame, if it really was going to be slower and more ambient than their past two it might've been a return to the older sound which would have been excellent. I'm not a fan of their latest album.

I dunno if it's as good as I say but it's a drat good album. I didn't like Under the Jaguar Sun though.

Rhgr posted:It really didn't strike me until I played the two discs at the same time, else it's just the standard Nadja album with a fairly ok ambient B-side. I'll actually have to try that, I'd almost forgotten they were meant to be played at the same time. Rhgr posted:Album of the year here people.

Dead Flag Blues is a pretty dark GY!BE song I dunno bout you guys. They are also a good entry band alongside Explosions and Sigur Ros and all that. Also GY!BE does some pretty cool ambient interludes with the city sounds and quiet guitar build up like in East Hastings. I'm happy to finally hear a studio version of Come to Me on the new 65dos, I watched the youtube video of that so, so many times, and this version is awesome even if it is fairly different.

Steve Winwood posted:I guess it annoys me because I have to sift through the generic stuff to find anything good. I don't really think this 'rehashed' stuff by definition is actually post-rock. It's sitting on already established laurels and now it's really difficult to find anything good. Meanwhile, there's a large chunk of the fan base seemingly obsessed with 'epicness' and now you have bands just aiming for this instead of actually writing decent songs. But oh such and such a band is different because they have beats here and there or add a voila or some trite poo poo. You realize that what you're saying about post-rock can be applied to any given genre ever in the history of the world when you say you have to sift through the generic stuff to find something really original, right? Is there some reason you expect post-rock to be different? Or some reason why you expect people to not want to emulate their idols in post-rock, as in if they enjoy EITS you expect them to not make music that's obviously based on them in some way? There's always going to be bands that try to emulate the sound of the forefathers of the music they're making. The people killing post-rock are you because if no one ever made a band because they weren't fully original in their sound there'd be so little music coming out, and you seem to want to poo poo on anything that isn't fully original in your angry eyes. Also I already said this but I'm agreeing with the guys who love the new 65dos even if it isn't up to the post-rock "genre" definitions. I can't decide if I honestly like it more than their older stuff or not mostly because it's still so fresh, but right now it's sounding awesome.

I like that song by maybeshewill that has the sample from Network, it's an easy to use sample but it's good. It was strange listening to it the first time though because I'd heard another song that used it like the week before and was confused as hell. And just chiming in to say the new Souvenirs Young America or whatever their name is is awesome.

Yeah the first time I'd heard the sample used in a song was in the maybeshewill one so it was still sort of fresh and cool, but if you kept hearing it different songs over and over that would def get annoying.
