I like toroise, they seem a post rock version of autechre. I started with standards only because it was on warp and I'm a huge warp fan. At first listen I thought it was crap and tedious, i liked only few tracks like benway, then I adored it and I think it's their best. Then i moved to the rest and found it nice as well, but they are a bit underrated for me

a tortoise lives on land and a turtle lives in water.
the band makes good varied music.

clever guy but i don't consider them as the indie rock version of autechre
all their albums except "the brave and the bold" and "everything is all around you" is almost perfect
check their latest boxset full of rarities and remixes + dvd!
i consider it the best release of year 2k6

If you're worried about liking Tortoise, check out "The Brave and the Bold". That should put you right off.

I like bonnie prince billy as well so I shoud check the album. I'd like they did a gig in Italy i want to see them live, and I don't think they are over-rated

Will Oldham is one of my all-time favourite artists and I really like Tortoise, but that album just doesn't work for either of them.

Nice. I think standards are their weakest album actually. TNT and Millions are my favourites

ya, that's pretty perceptive linking them to autechre. there are plenty of similarities. the track listing on the new lazarus taxon retrospect highlights the parallels. on the first disc autechre's 'today retrieval' is the only remix and is sandwiched between 'sexual for elizabeth' and 'whitewater' which i think both show similarities to autechre's style. Its ridiculous to say they're completely influenced... but they borrow ideas from them and go as far as highlighting it.

they're amazing live, catch them if you can. i enjoy their albums, but they tend to put me to sleep a little bit. their live show is invigorating, however. two drummers, two xlylophonists, and some other lovely shit going on.

The Brave and the Bold is great dood. It made me love Tortoise again when I was beginning to hate them a little bit.

Tortoise is an older band arn't they?
If they arn't I'm sure there is a band from the 60-70s (prog) named tortoise .
