precision posted:What they did with that record reminded me a lot of how Tarentel went from being good but completely by-the-numbers post-rock on their first two records, but then dropped We Move Through Weather and completely confused/impressed everyone. They went from a decent Mogwai-alike to a sound that owed more to Big Black and early Einsturzende Neubauten than anything else. Album is loving bleak and industrial and weird and easily one of the top post-rock (if it even falls into that category, honestly) releases of the 2000s. I'm a huge Tarentel fan, of both their sounds. Honestly, I think The Order Of Things is my favorite Tarentel album (one of my favorite albums in any genre, in fact) but Ghetto Beats on the Surface of the Sun is my second-favorite. I also really like the Paper White EP, "Open Letter To Hummingbirds" is fantastic. EDIT: man i just spent a stupid amount of money on a grooved plastic disc you guys, what am i doing with my life SpruceZeus fucked around with this message at 20:27 on May 18, 2012 |

I did see them live around when it came out though and they managed to do a more "epic" post-rock show in a 50-seat hippie restaurant than Mogwai in a 300+ seat theater.

I have just about all the full-length albums they've ever put out. Plus Ephemera I guess because it's technically a collection of EPs. Ephemera is another particularly good "old sound" album, btw. As for From Bone To Satellite, it's okay, but it's got some kind of dull bits, plus whatever that weird freakout at the start of "When We Almost Killed Ourselves" is. Almost sounds like something off their newer material, always thought it was a bit out of place. Not only are all the songs on The Order of Things fantastic and quite varied, they're also arranged really well, the album itself flows wonderfully. In my opinion it's superior to From Bone To Satellite by far.

WoG posted:Té is great, but yeah, very hard to google. Here's their site, which no longer appears to offer english, but that side was never updated anyway, so muddle through the japanese side. At minimum, it's easy to find titles for their albums and google from there. I just discovered Té a week or so ago, I think from the Chrono Trigger Let's Play thread of all places. Something about them has really grabbed onto me, I find them really easy to listen to. All the members are obviously skilled & talented out the rear end, their playing is technical and varied enough to hold my interest over multiple listens but their music never slides over into wanky-prog territory. Also most of their songs are in the 3-5 minute range, helpful for me as I don't seem to have the attention span/patience for stuff like GSYBE. I'm not particularly into post-rock so maybe these guys don't sound all that unique to the rest of this thread, but they've quickly become one of my favorite bands. I don't know post-rock but I know what I like, and I like Té  So far I've been able to track down their 2005 debut album, If that is what is being thought, liberated sound talks the depth of [musical] world (all of their album and song titles are ridiculously verbose, to make up for being instrumental I suppose). It was re-released in the USA the following year, making it easier to track down. My favorite track has got to be Avarice would speak with every word, it [acts] every part and it even pretends to be not avaricious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zmo-XTJLcmQ Starts off nice and easy, builds for the first half, then completely smokes your rear end for the last 2 minutes  They are indeed a pain in the rear end to Google for, so far I've been able to track down their MySpace page (dormant since 2009), this discography from their official site which at least tells me they've got 4 LPs, 3 singles and just put out a live EP in February. It is now pretty much my goal in life to track down as much of their material as I can get my hands on. Takes No Damage fucked around with this message at 23:04 on May 28, 2012 |

Jackie-O Motherfucker is one of those really esoteric, Set Fire To Flames level impenetrability (but with a lot of folk influence), but as it happens they collaborated with Set Fire To Flames, but didn't release it, most likely just to make people like me sad.Takes No Damage posted:I just discovered Té a week or so ago, I think from the Chrono Trigger Let's Play thread of all places.

The discog on that page is missing their newest album from 2010 (the 'Purple One', which is how I remember all their albums). None of them besides the first (green) LP have official english titles either which makes them even harder to find. I usually just wait and buy a couple of their CDs/DVDs at a time since shipping from Japan is so crazy (their 2 live DVDs are also definitely worth getting if you don't already have them).

I've started to think of all their releases as just [number] [format] [color] because like hell I'm ever going to get these Engrish titles to make sense in my head. So on iTunes they list: If There Is No Word Which Tells Sound, Beutiful Melody Does Not Keep In Mind ($3.96 US) 3rd single, dark blue It Is a Thought to Try to "Sing" the Realistic Sound from the Deeply Resonated World.(9.90 US) 2nd LP, pink It That Is What Is Being Thought, Liberated Sound Talks the Depth of "Musical" (9.90 US) 1st LP, original version, not remastered, no bonus tracks, green Mashite Kokoro To Gokan Ga Icchi Surunara Subete Saijou No Ongaku Ni Henzuru (9.99 US) translates to "Furthermore, when the mind meets all senses, all matters converge to the ultimate [music]." 3rd LP, light blue That's Not a Gift Who Using Words to Sing. It's Just a Memory (3.96 US) 2nd single, orange and a partial album that has no english translation what so ever. (3.87 US) this is the live EP they put out in February. The first 3 tracks are new studio songs, that's just this without the concert included. So iTunes is missing: 1st single - just 3 demos of songs that show up on the first LP (cover is grey) 1st LP US edition - remastered and with 2 bonus tracks 4th LP - this seems to be the hardest to find for some reason... (it's purple) drat, I don't think I've done anything but look up info on these guys since Sunday. Been a long time since I was so instantly and powerfully engaged with a band like this, feels good man

Their catalog is best described as "really good", with a healthy sprinkling of things that can actually induce orgasms. Additionally, I haven't seen anyone talking about The Samuel Jackson Five's new album, The Samuel Jackson Five, which is shameful! It marks a real departure from strict post rock, but it's still exciting and jazzy! It's a great album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkuuRkLn6Zk (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Everyone whined about The Destruction of Small Ideas not having enough bass in the drum mix. That was THE hot-button issue when 65dos released it. Nothing else, just that. I thought it sounded fine and I'm sick of artificially over-compressed music.
