talking about Pelican, "City of Echoes" was so disappointing...

 

[martha]

It was alright.

 

[Axver]

I actually quite liked City Of Echoes. It was interesting to hear them go for a different sort of structure.

 

[Jack In The Box]

c'mon, listen "Australasia" and then "City of Echoes", there is a big difference

I'm ok with taking new directions and risks, but this kind of directions and risks are not my cup of tea

boooooring

GOOD

Loved Spiderland!

Checked out my first Godspeed! You Black Emperor track, Motherfucker = Redeemer Part 2, and I really enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Ros, so it's cool to sort of discover this whole other genre of music.

I just got The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place on vinyl.

Sweet sassy molassey, it sounds more amazing than ever.

 

[Jack In The Box]

I just have it on cd, I bought it in Madrid I think, because here in Mexico nobody knows a thing about post-rock ¬¬

funny, EitS, Mogwai, Tristeza (twice!) have visited Mexico

 

[impy13]

It was only 11.99, too. 2 LPs even.

I'd highly recommend sending away for the vinyl. It's ever so worth it.

 

[LMP]

I need to get my record player to work, then concentrate on getting some vinyl.

Me too. I liked it a great deal actually.

For the first time ever, JitB is WRONG.

Yeah, man. I've been going crazy since Christmas. I've got about 25 albums now. It's really great. Do it to it, Lars.

teehee

GOOD

 

[Jack In The Box]

in the article I wrote (and I will traslate someday ) I ascended "Spiderland" as the godfather of post-rock... but for me, I made it clear, just for me

 

[onebloodonelife]

I listened to Eluvium's Copia as I was going to bed last night, really good stuff

 

[LMP]

I will... thank you, Juanita.

It's one of the singularly most depressing / moving albums I've listened to in a long time. Damn good though.

 

[Jack In The Box]

I recommend "An Accidental Memory in the Case od Death" by Eluvium

amazing album

 

[onebloodonelife]

^I'll have to check that one out too. Thanks!

 

[u2popmofo]

Copia = beauty

 

[Jack In The Box]

"Copia" it's like "Lambent Material" meets "An Accidental Memory..."

Singapore's very own post-rock band. Aren't half-bad too.

 

[Jack In The Box]

thanks :up. they sound interesting, actually good and this is one of the things I like about post-rock, it's global

mexican post-rock:

The Polar Dream

 

[Dalton]

The problem I have with Mexican Post Rock is that it always sounds like it wants to be somewhere else...

 

[Jack In The Box]

that is the problem with most of the mexican rock

 

[Jack In The Box]

I'm thinking about writing a paper for my rock history class comparing art rock/progressive rock to post-rock.

Though, I'm not terribly well versed in progressive rock, any ideas there?

 

[Jack In The Box]

you can start with this line:

prog rock is pretentious and sucks, post-rock is emotional and rocks


j/k!

 

[onebloodonelife]

I have a feeling that the TA wouldn't care for a paper that starts like that...
