You just hate them because they're from Montreal, FASCIST! PROOF! I used to think they were eons ahead of Sigur, but now I listen to Sigur far more. Godspeed are the more rewarding of the two though, ultimately, and the more inventive, if not the most immediate. |
||||||||

Sorry, I really can't listen to these bands more then 2 minutes before getting bored. Nevertheless Sigur Ros is perhaps not bad as background music, but GYBE is absolutely pissing me off each time I hear them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think I hate them near as much as Radiohead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't listen to them then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
That's what I do, but please don't write their names on the messageboard. |

Labradford is great. Mogwai is terrible. |
||||||||
|
|

Oh, and GY!BE - Slow Riot For Zero Kanada is a classic to me. |

q1 : Apart from Hendrix - what about Can, Faust, Neu! ...? didn't they go post-rock too ? q2: And since on TNT Tortoise crossed so many genre borders - what IS post-rock first of all ? What IS post-rock ? What IS it ? ----------------------------------------------------------- --- post-rock/trip-hop = genres i don't really like. cause Portishead, Massive Attack and....that guy...ahh, Tricky - their musics differ too much to throw them into one bag . And even Those Two Portishead records differ from each other. |

Two unrepresented albums I love that are post-rock enough for me- Ulan Bator- Ego Echo Pram- Museum of Imaginary Animals |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not sure if it's an "undisputable classic", but Jaga Jazzist - What We Must is a great post-rock-y album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Below the Sea - Every frickin thing they have done. Another Montreal group. yay Montreal! Anyway is The Arcade Fire post-rock? It's along the line of the Montreal line-up of post-rock groups (check out their demo stuff), recorded in a studio by some GYBE members. |
||||||||

Look, post-rock isn't just any old rock music that has an experimental edge to it. It was a definate tendency during the 90's to push the envelope in regards to what a guitar band could sound like. After "alternative" bands like Nirvana had exploded into the mainstream, it wasn't enough to sound a bit like the Pixies anymore. Musicians like Tortoise and Trans Am were important because they were moving far more into the leftfield than other groups who were perhaps less imaginative. Bands like My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth influenced post-rock but don't fit into the tendency itself. The same way the New York Dolls influenced punk, but were to too early too be considered punk themselves. I think it was all over by the time Radiohead released Kid A anyway. |

|
|
Oh, and Surrender to the Night by Trans Am is the best posty-rocky album of them all! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
Wow, I wonder why post rock died on its arse then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry pa, this is why we go by GY!BE to avoid having to spell the ridiculous name properly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah cos tortoise are not revered in certain circles and havent released anything in years, along with godspeed and sigur ros, and my why did the kranky record label go bust.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What about undisputable Pre-Rock classics? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha, yes :) Although should their first few releases be credited to GYBE! or GY!BE...? Its a hard life |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"in years" ? you mean light years ? or are you from the future ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you don't get it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was being sarcastic... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Kranky hasn't gone bust...? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh I see. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't mean "died on its arse" so much to mean "bankrupt", more as "a cliched joke, yet another genre to make micro variations on, much like IDM etc". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i remember when i used to argue that IDM was a relative term... oh how fucking foolish i was. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are spiritualized post rock? theyre good anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
low - things we lost in the fire mogwai - young team if anyone can recommend me albums like these, please do (i've already heard slint). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yea Spiritualized are excellent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah yeah , i focused on the "bust" bit a bit too much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dispute the term post-rock |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's about as disputable as most genre terms to be honest. Who cares, it's really about categorising bands for the convenience of commercial mediums. Reviewers need to be able to call it something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i had no idea it's like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
post rock was coined by a reviewer... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as all genres were. it is not the musicians who sit and think "what new genre could i invent...", it's journalists. quite obvious, yeah. but it shouldn't stop you from discussing music, right. |
||||||||

"Despite a relatively small recorded output and little media recognition, Bark Psychosis was one of the most innovative artists of their era. From rather uninspired origins as a teenaged Napalm Death cover band, the British group evolved by leaps and bounds, moving from moody, lush pop to ambient soundscapes to taut, atmospheric experimental music; their work was so revolutionary, and so impossible to define, that noted critic Simon Reynolds even found it necessary to invent a new sub-genre -- "post-rock" -- simply to categorize their vision." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it should stop flea disputing the term post rock though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahah....maybe... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So, Simon Reynolds didn't rate the American post rockers. (Tortoise, Trans Am, etc) But he obviously liked Brits such as Bark Psychosis, Disco Inferno, fellas like that.... Now I can't see Reynolds being overly patriotic, as he lives in the States now anyway. So what's his beef? Does he think that the yanks were ripping us off? Or does he just not rate them? "Millions Now Living"...and "Hex" have quite a similar sound, so it makes me wonder. |
