What is this band/group like? I think I recall hearing that they are kind of early electronica? What is their sound similar to? What are some of their more accessible (to a wider range of tastes) tracks? Thanks. |

i really like tortoise. they aren't electronica at all. more post rock. they are fantastic, especially if you like xylophones. my favourite tortoise album is tnt. |

They usually are labelled Post Rock group. You should listen to TNT, wich is their best work IMO. Their last album on Warp wasn't bad either. Most of their music is quite accessible. |

Several times when I've heard Tortoise on the radio or as a tv soundtrack I've believed that I was listening to something by Steve Reich.... "TNT" and "Standards" are both great albums! |

yeah tortoise is awesome. TNT was probably their best (it's also a very make-outable record)... standards was awesome too. diehard tortoise fans will disagree and say "millions now living" is their best. whatever the hell post rock is, yeah that's them sure. but they're kinda like jazz/electronic.... but i suppose too premeditated to be jazz and too many members in the band to be electronic. luke vibert did a (some) remix(es) of them on their remix album that is (are) worth checking out. isotope 217 is also worth checking out if you really want to try some more free-jazz mindfuck less "post rock" type of shiz. it's like most of the members of tortoise. check em out... they're top five in my book. |

oh yeah when i first heard them i didnt care too much but they really grew on me. they're not much to get excited about on the first listen... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
cool, i'll give them another go then! |
||||||||

Yep. TNT is def one on my Top 10 list |

Am I the only one that likes Standards the most? Seneca's probably my fave Tortoise track. They're all great though. They're post rock, but you can hear little touches of electronica here and there though. |

Any band with a 20 minute opening track should be shot |

yeah i think i like standards better actually. seneca is awesome... eros and monica are also friggin gooder than crap. |

why does everyone like tnt best? i think its their worst album...too much cheese(theres classic tortoise moments but way too inconsistent and thrown together). i like millions now living will never die way more than any of their other albums. when standards came out i thought it was the best but its just pretty good now, djed is their best work and thats it. i doubt they'll top it. they NEED to try more stuff like that. |

new disc in 2004 too. itll be interesting to see their direction. |
||||||||

standards is the best, by far. i feel tnt had really terrible production, even though the material was good. everythign before is kinda dry, if you ask me... with the exception of "glass museum" on "million now living..." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope. not having it. tnt is ace. |
||||||||
|
|

I like standards the most ophecksksksk seneca rules, and blackjack! and benway |
||||||||
