well
vessels are playing a gig tonight at 229 club (Gt Portland Street), they have electronics and many guitar noises. They have a free download somewhere on the boards today too.
God Is An Astronaut
pretty much are the definition of electronic based post-rock.
Saxon Shore?
m83
)
i've already bookmarked them with a view to purchasing one fo their albums.
Red Cities, Dead Seas & Lost Ghosts (whichever way round it is, i get confused)
i'm not more inclined to buy it now.
*i am more inclined to buy it
don't know where the "not" came from.
before the dawn heals us
is great too,
i love saturday=youth
my fav album currently
i wouldnt describe it that post rock particularly tho but def well worth checking out
this will destroy you
have some bleeps.
and the difference is:
they're better.
how wrong you are
why am i wrong?
explain
"they're better"
and that guy below agrees with me.
see below.
bellsack.
???
TWDY better than mogwai and 65dos?¬!
weeeeeeeeeeeellll
no. but, they're better than the last 65 days album.
the truth comes out
you're still wrong though. ;)
yes
the truth!
:)
oh production wise yeah
i fucking hate the production on that album.no amount of LOUD can make it sound good
nah
its a weak album song wise as well.
it sounds great when played loud
Is it fuck
boring formulaic post-rock is waht it is! The last 65dos album was epic in all proportions, and still streets ahead of most instrumental bands.
it is very formulaic
65dos FTW
the stuff off that album
sounded so weak live compared to the 1st 2 albums material they opened the set with (2 of my favourite albums ever)
Maybe they ahd an off night
It sounded awesome when I saw them, 'Don't Go Down To Sorrow' was amazing.
nah
wasn't an off night, the rest of the set was fucking amazing. was just let down by the later material (fuuuuuuuuck, starting to sound like an indie knob-end)
I cannot get the hate that the production on
'The Destruction of small ideas' gets. It sounds absolutely fine to me (different to the others maybe, but no worse for that). If it was just a trebbly mess I could understand people slagging it off, but it has a nice warm organic feel (albeit not as thumpingly powerhouse as on fall of math)
Anyway the last song has CTTS on it and is thus a truckload of win.
^^^^This
Just because it't not as loud as all the other over compressed stuff, especially if you listen to it on your headphones, doesn't mean the production is bad.
It cranks up fine for me, and sounds wonderful in places.
i like the production, understated but brilliantly done IMO.
i love TDOSI, i gave it 10/10 in a user review i did, in hindsight i should've given it 9/10 but it's still a great album.
this will destory you
are tedious and boring and not very original, at all.
Here's a few
I'm lazy with my descriptions so I'll let The Silent Ballet do that for me...ignore the scores in places though, all the bands are what you're after!

Mountain Men Anonymous - www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylauaFgQ-8E
Bit more electronica but should still fit the bill...
Kashiwa Daisuke - http://thesilentballet.com/dnn/Reviews/2008/TopRated/tabid/123/ctl/Details/mid/542/ItemID/1050/Default.aspx
I second the Kashiwa Daisuke recommendation
Program Music I is stunning
Also check out anything by World's End Girlfriend
more electronic but would no doubt cross over
Murcof - Cosmos is an epic orchestral digtial epic beautiful record.
GAS - Nah Und Fern loopy looped up loops of beautiful loops with more loops and looping gourgouse samples and the odd techno beat.
^ seconded
Nah Und Fern is essential if you like SOTL and Basic Channel
Feedle - leave now for adventure
more electronic-y, but still with his fair share of epic moments.
thanks but i have this
;)
good man
I knew I'd forget something off my list!
Very good album that.
thanks good people of DiS
(this isn't an indication that you can stop now) ;)
From Monument to Masses
instrumental, other than lots of vocal samples - mostly revolutionary/political stuff. ace post-rock with electronic input and post-hardcore leanings.
album: The impossible leap in one hundred simple steps.
samples: http://www.monument-masses.com/sound/index.html
^ YES
moker to thread
moker to thread
Double YES
That's a fucking must
Get the remix album too
It's also good
Trans Am are the most electronic post rock I can think of
Also maybe:
Do Make Say Think
This Will Destory You (already mentioned)
Er...
um, that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Gotta go dump (seriously).
Also, look up the post rock article written by Mike Diver about 3 months ago. Really comprehensive.
TOUCHING CLOTH...
triple yes
in my top 10-album ever, just something very special.
new album as well, somepoint in the future, and talk of them commin' to the uk.
Port-Royal
Fairly epic, albiet in an ambient kind of way. There's no crashing guitar cresendos to be found here. They're awesome though. www.myspace.com/uptheroyals
Mogwai, electronic? eh?
I neglected Port-Royal
for being too ambient.
Still good though
a place to bury strangers

permaJAG sorry gotta
Not even close to what he was after
So why bother?
really?
not even close?
you mean "not the exact same thing".
who wants to find out about new music anyway!?
You're being flippant
Of course they're close in terms of guitars and electronics, but not in terms of post-rock, epicness of stuff like 65dos.
Plus, they're not really 'new', in the purest sense of word anyway. They are a great band though.
of course i'll be flippant
when asked "so why bother?" when i'm trying to share good music which, as you point out yourself, share commonalities.
poor.
Don't act like some 'good music' martyr
They don't share strict commonalities with what was asked for, hence I asked 'why bother', when we all know it was just a shameful plug.
I was merely saying that we could all post something 'new' that shared similar characteristics (guitars) that wouldn't give the user what he requested. If he wanted some loud, shoe-gazing type stuff, then fair enough, but he didn't.
It just struck me as a desperate attempted to shoe horn a jag into the thread in the weakest possible way.
we toured with maybeshewill
don't know if that helps?
have a listen to 'take me into your skin' by trentemøller.
Worried by Satan is a good shout
Despite the JAG
yeah yeah
as for some interesting electro/post rock whatever go have a look at:
From Monument To Masses
Trans Am
Atlas Sound
Tortoise
Del Rey
Berg Sans
Atlas Sound is not 'post-rock'
by any stretch of the imagination.
not really "post-rock"
but I immediately thought of 'World's End Girlfriend' when I saw this thread.
Bersky...
That's exactly who I came to post, great minds and all that.
Try Port-Royal. Not very much like 65 or Mogwai but I think you will they are quite brilliant.
*
But I think you will find*
already on my ever growing list of bands to check out.
already on my ever growing list of bands to check out.
on my list twice it would seem
Time.Space.Repeat
in fact you can get their album for free (or you could, I don't know if you still can). The lead singer posts on here does he not?
Indeed he does...
And yes it's still free, and there'll be a single coming out some time soon...
How about...
Fight Fire With Water - alas 'on hiatus'
i have a signed CD of
Fight Fire With Water. They were at World Smog Day.
French Teen Idol
I reckon his album is free....
It is
on Lost Children
World End's Girlfriend..
..or is it World's End Girlfriend? I can never remember, but either way it's definitely worth a pop
it's the second one
