Predicting wavebashing ITT

>>51254673
Check out Bark Psychosis and Tortoise. Disco Inferno are brilliant too, but not really anything like any other post rock.
>>51254682
This.
>muh atmospheres

>>51254682
yeah, probably

the father

the son

the holy ghost

listen to the other 'post-rock' Talk Talk album, Spirit of Eden. Also check our their The Color of Spring, and Mark Hollis's solo album.

My favorite post-rock band is GY!BE, so I'd go ahead and listen to all their releases if you liked Skinny Fists.

Others:
- Bark Psychosis
- Tortoise
- The For Carnation
- Yume Bitsu
- Silver Mt. Zion (basically Godspeed w/ emphasis on vocals)
- all of the Godspeed offshoots (particularly Set Fire to Flames, Esmerine, HRSTA)
- Red Sparowes

>>51254700
>>51254724
tx 4 these, gonna check it out

>>51254733
maybe GY!BE is a bit too crescendo driven, but it is after all great music i think from my non post rock point of view

>>51254733
lel

>>51254673
In this order:

Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die
Tortoise - TNT
GY!BE - F#A#8
Stereolab - Transient Random Announcements with Noise Burts
Swans - Soundtracks For The Blind
Hash Jar Tempo - Well Oiled
Mogwai - Young Team

>>51254673

>shame noone posts aoty's : ^*
You don't want to hear 2014 "post rock". We don't talk about 2014 "post rock". Don't bring it up again.

>>51254985
is it that bad?

Check out some Proto-Post Rock. If Talk Talk is the father of Post-Rock, then those two are the grandfathers.

King Crimson - Larks Tongues in Aspic
Henry Cow - Legend

Tortoise is the third essential after Talk Talk and Slint.

>>51255042
Please.

new ASIWYFA album will be 'post-rock' aoty if it comes out this year, otherwise next year.

>>51254833
best list itt

>>51255042
fick off

>>51255078
don't shun ppl in my thread, give some explanation to yr opinions

>>51255078
Huh?

>>51255096
What did I do?

>>51255042
Progressive rock isn't proto-post-rock, you fucking drooling retard.

>>51255112
>fuckinh drubg blah
rude...

also math rock isn't post rock and jazz rock isn't post rock also so what?

>>51255112
Obviously not, but those two albums are Post-Rock.

>>51255105
being obnoxious, stating stupid statements, making stupid relations between prog rock/avant-rock and post-rock

and just being a retarded trip in general

>>51255105
>What did I do?
Speak outside of a chart thread.

Djed is the best song to come out of the genre, right?

Right?

>>51255162
no, East Hastings is

I'd say Breadcrumb Trail or For Dinner...
Most influential on later post rock.

>>51255162
what is after the flood

>>51255145
I don't get why people refuse to recognize those two albums as Post-Rock.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b12F5H10-k
>tfw no Larks Tongues on YouTube
It fits perfectly!

>and just being a retarded trip in general
hey!

>>51255146
>boo hoo!

>>51255162
>>51255186

Rodan- Rusty
Rodan came from the same scene as Slint, although they're a little more post-hardcore.
Also Tortoise and Toe are great post-rock bands to listen to.

>>51255192
Please.

>>51255224
Okay, in all seriousness. How is the track I posted NOT Post-Rock? It fits PERECTLY!
The same goes for KC's Larks Tongues Part 1

>>51255244
Explain how it fits.

>>51254682
Good prediction, but in the end it was "prog is proto-post" faggotry.

>>51255273
Okay. What definition do you want to use?

>>51255290
Nope. It's just that those two Prog albums were doing Post-Rock at the same time.

>>51254733
(not true, by the way)

>>51255290
>>51255273
>>51255146

>>51255096
>>51255078

>>51254733

>>51254673
Check out F#A# Infinity after Lift your skinny fists; it's much better in my opinion

>>51255311
>Okay. What definition do you want to use?
Whichever you want. Now explain please.

Post-rock is a buzzword

>>51255450
>Post-rock means using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbres and textures rather than riffs and powerchords.
Is this okay to you?

Okay, in the case of Legend, the instruments are used to create a very particular texture. I think that's evident.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b12F5H10-k

Do you agree with this?

>>51255513
>Is this okay to you?
Too general a definition. A shit ton of prog would get lumped in by that definition.

>>51255550
Propose a better definition then.

Macha - See it in another way
Moonshake - Eva Luna
Pram - The Stars are so Big
Bark Psychosis - Hex
Escape the Day - Ghostless
Rodan - Rusty
The For Carnation - s/t
Grails - Deep Politics
Disco Inferno - D.i. Go Pop
Swans - SFTB
Cul de Sac - China Gate
Gastr del Sol - Upgrade and Afterlife
Long Fin Killie - Houdini
Dirty Three - Ocean Songs

>>51255172
but their best song is blaise bailey finnegan III

>>51255425
nowhere near as good. F# is overrated af

>>51255190
but their best song is myrrhman

Check out mono and toe from Japan

>>51255563
rock influenced by ambient music, the track length of prog and steve reich-style minimalism

>>51255583
>nowhere near as good. F# is overrated af
Agreed. It has some nice parts but for the most part it just meanders in its own atmosphere.

>>51255634
In that case, Larks Tonuges Part 1 is PERFECT!
>Ambient Music influences
Check!
>Track lenght
Check!
>Steve Reich Minimalism
Check!

Seriously, why do people honestly refuse to accept this?

>>51255222
This. June of 44 is great too.

>>51255364
i would agree for gybe and sigur ros but kasabian and weg dont really strike me as post rock, while its still alright music

>>51255662
>ambient music influences
where?
>track length
ok
>steve reich minimalism
where?

Dirty Three
Gastr Del Sol
For Carnation
Papa M, Aerial M (same guy, just different names, guitarist for Slint and Tortoise btw)

>>51255715
First 5 minutes of it is a mix of Steve Reich minimalism and ambient music. Can you see it?

>>51255701
>kasabian
Wot.

>>51255364
how the fuck is kasabian post-rock

>>51255738
no

>>51255761
fuck off idiot

>>51254733
>gastr del sol
WHY? Can someone explain this band to me and why is it post-rock. Everything else is 10/10 though

>>51255761
Okay. I feel like trying to explain why 2 + 2 is 4, but let me try.
The first part is very repetitive, they even use marimbas for this (SR's favorite instrument?). Second, there are a lot of ambient passages through the whole album. How can you not see this? I mean, have you even heard the song?

>>51255810
stop replying to him please

>>51255795
because it's associated with 1st wave, influenced lots of 2nd and 3rd wave bands, fits basically all criteria and even belonged to the same scene as slint, june of 44, etc
how the fuck is it not post-rock? seriously i've never even seen anyone question it

>>51255819
N-no!

2014 Post-Rock AOTY coming through

>>51255810
Not enough prolonged and dense instrumentation.

>>51255887
leave please

>>51255222
>Rodan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BLzM7GbFEY nice

>>51255887
How is it not prolonged for long enough? wtf
And dense instrumentation? what?!
By that logic not even Talk Talk and Slint would be Post-Rock.

>>51255904
Put your trip back on. Then take it off and leave forever.

>>51255908
That's the worst song on the album though

>>51255742
hmm, i'd heard other kasabian, i thought the album with the purple was kasabian

>>51255916
i'm not the trip tho

>>51255916
That wasn't me.

>>51255910
>And dense instrumentation? what?!
>By that logic not even Talk Talk and Slint would be Post-Rock.
No, they would. Both feature prolonged and dense instrumentation, broken apart by almost silences.

Breadcrumb Trail: 4:00 - end
After The Flood: Feedback solo
Ascension Day: Outro
Washer: Quiet and minimal until the wall of instrumentation at the end.

etc.

>>51256004
oh boy you are grasping

>>51255910
Adding: That Crimson track is avant garde, ambient and all that good stuff but lacks important attributes seen in the music sparked by Talk Talk and Slint.

>>51254733
>Thumbs up if you were born in le wrong generation and listen to trvue post-rawk! :D

>>51255967 (You)
>>51256026 (You)
But you're another trip.

>>51254673
Opinions on Crippled Blaack Phoenix? I'm surprised they are almost never mentioned in post-rock threads

>>51256004
>prolonged
First of all, every song from Talk Talk and Slint is less than 10 minutes long.
>dense instrumentation
What exactly do you mean with this?
>broken apart by almost silences
Larks Tongues did that too.

Also, the first 5 minutes are a crescendo of marimbas and all of that, followed by that monstrous riff.

>>51256032
Which ones?

>>51256056
Who?

>>51256056
not really no
btw post-rock doesn't mean anything

>>51256072
i don't know im OP just trying to get into postrock

>>51256072
I, Vigilante is one of the best albums of 2010, so they're pretty good

>>51256111
Have you heard the new one?
It has some great moments despite lots of weaker tracks

>>51256134
That was a huge let down for me, especially considering how flawless their discography was up until that point. Personal favourite is A Love of Shared Disasters.

Guys
Allalujah Don't Bend Ascend finally clicked for me.
I had always loved Godspeed but had always thought ADBA was too one-note, but when I was walking my dog in the freezing cold, U realized something.
It's not supposed to be emotional like their other albums. It's supposed to be heavy as fuck, which it is.

>>51256072
I missed the opportunity to see them live, I regret it now.

>>51256083
>>dense instrumentation
>What exactly do you mean with this?
Really, dog? Lots of instruments playing loud all at once.

>>prolonged
>First of all, every song from Talk Talk and Slint is less than 10 minutes long.
And? Does that make it short and not prolonged somehow?
I mean that the parts featuring dense instrumentation are prolonged. And by prolonged, I mean stretching out an idea beyond relative lengths seen in conventional rock music.

Quit going by Wikipedia's definition and try paying attention to the music first.

>>51256234
if the trip was indeed going by the wiki definition, he wouldn't even suggest something most people wouldn't consider "post-rock".
ergo you're a turd

>>51254733
>lumping GY!BE and Sigur Rós in with garbage like GIAA, WEG, Kashiwa Daisuke and EitS
top heh

>>51256259
Yet that's exactly what he did, numbskull.

>Listen to Winter Hymn Coutnry Hymn
>man, this is really good! what other stuff do they have
>cant get into anything else in their discography

A really underrated 2nd-wave album is Le Fly Pan Am's "Ceux Qui Inventent N'ont Jamais Vecu". It's a little on the artsy side, but the songs are groovy as fuck, and there is an excellent emphasis on atmosphere.

>>51256272
read what you just wrote out loud
jesus christ i gotta go back to work

>>51256134
That slipped under my radar, downloading it now

>>51256283
Really? I like DMST but I always thought they were pretty consistent, even too much so.
Their first album is a little jazzier if you're into that.

>>51256219
I saw them live at ATP in 2007, Dominic from Mogwai was playing bass for them back then.

Speaking of underrated 2nd wave

Ive listened to Spiderland at least 15 times, and it still doesnt sound like Post rock at all

It seems more like harsh/noise

>>51256312
Isn't their frontman from Electric Wizard?

>>51256283
That's interesting, because I think that's when they started to suck. I love their first three, and Winter Hymn is okay. You, You're a History in Rust just sounds cheesy to me. Didn't even bother with their latest.

I really recommend Goodbye Enemy Airship

Tortoise fans should check out Isotope 217.

It's three members of Tortoise plus a couple of members of the Chicago Underground Orchestra. They're like Tortoise if they were even jazzier.

>>51256285
This album is great.
I was really disappointed by their latest one though, even the Tim Hecker track didn't redeem it. They were just trying too hard to be 2avant.

>>51256360
Yep

Is this post rock?

>>51256313
>http://www.scaruffi.com/vol5/cerberus.html
>better rated than GYBE
gonna check 'em out, thanks anon

>>51256368
Not that guy, but I liked their latest one. It has more of a rock flavor to it and less jazzy stuff, it's a little more fast-moving overall.

>>51256396
yep
