Lift Yr Skinny Fists...doesn't have many of those long talking samples. It has a couple, but its pretty spread out over each 25 min. song. I would suggest "YanQui U.X.O." has having the least but I don't really care for that album and think it's their worst. MONO is playing here in Nashville in June, I'm pretty excited.neckbeard wrote:seconding Mono because I've only seen it once in here.

I saw Mono once before about 5 years ago, but would like to see them again now since they've developed so much since then

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it -- though their latest album is far and away their worst and I hope they don't play very much from it, the preceding album material that they will play will be definitely worth it.

Seeing Red Sparowes tonight. They were awesome last time with Russian Circles.

I disagree with you 100%, Hymn to the Immortal Wind is by far their most accomplished and ambitious album to date, that album is dripping with tears and emotion, the one that give them a true identity instead of just another cookie-cutter post-rock band amongst the many

I don't see it that way -- I don't mind copy & paste post-rock, I'm not going to listen to every band that does it or anything, but I think Mono does an exceptional job of it. But while thinking about it, I don't think they really sound much like any other post-rock band even though they utilize every genre cliche. Anyway, "Hymn to the Immortal Wind" sounded far too sentimental, too sappy. It lacked the effective juxtapositioning of that inescapable element of post-rock (the sentimental element) with abrasive atmospheres and hopeless moments. The whole album just felt like something...bitter-sweet...and it isn't working for me. Either way, I'm really looking forward to the show.

Re: Suggest Instrumental bands (The kids call it "post rock"?)
nothing else comes close to this one for me; i'm prone to excessive hyperbole, but really, this is one is spectacular, especially if you're a fan of acoustic guitarneckbeard wrote:I like this thread

SHAKTI WITH JOHN MCLAUGHLIN the song 'Joy' is the most ridiculous acoustic guitar and violin shredfest ever laid down to tape. it's 18:13 of pure blissed out lightning guitar with eastern sounding guitar scales. this is technically fusion music, it's John playing with the most ambitious young indian guys he could find at the height of his fame and his technique can only be described as out of this world... after this he seems to have mellowed out a lot, but this one is the goods if you're into fast stuff.
the band features 2 percussionists playing clay pots in a dizzying array of time signatures,a a violin guy who has absolutely stellar intonation and actually manages to trade manic chorus' with Johnny mac without breaking a sweat, and last but not least John himself playing a custom acoustic guitar with drone strings and scalloped frets... the first song is the killer, the rest are the slow spacey come down after the ecstasy of 'Joy' and the percussion guys kind of take over, but it's still good stuff.

Thanks!IwishIwasalittlegirl wrote:Gotcha;la caca eres tu wrote:This thread rules.
Whoever posted just album covers, c'mon dog... 'properties' didn't tell me shit.
For those who care or don't know, here is the albums/artists and a short description;
Fripp & Eno "Eveningstar" (Ambient guitar-soundscapes)
Magwheels "Evebuildingbomb" (Industrial-tinged ambient guitar soundscapes by David Sullivan [ex-Facedowninshit guitarist])
Heldon "II:Allez Teia" (Fripp & Eno worship but a little more folky)
Popol Vuh "Aguirre" (Mesoamerican synth-scapes with krauty-folk parts [yeah, I said it])
Byla "Byla" (I'm sure most here are familiar with these guys; guitar-driven soundscapes)
Nadja "Bodycage" (This is perhaps my favorite Aiden Baker work -- it has an amazingly desperate and suffocating atmosphere; like the audio of a woman giving birth to a stillborn child)
Hjarnidaudi "Pain:Noise:March" (Like a really slooow Isis but not as monotonous as Moss)
Drafted by Minotaurs "Aversion Therapy" (Synthy-droney space-drift rock that flirts with post-rock moments)
Gregor Samsa "55:12" (Very accessible orchestral post-rock)
Jackie-O-Motherfucker "Liberation" (Drone-jams that flirt with psychedelic krauty moments)
Rhys Chatham "An Angel Moves too Fast to See" (Proto-post-rock orchestra that blends into post-punk catchiness)
Earthmonkey "Audiosapien" (Steven Stapleton & Peat Bog [Nurse with Wound]'s kraut-rock jam tribute band)
Ground Zero "Consume Red" (Monolithic Ligeti-jazz)
Heavy Winged "Blacc Lust" (Heavy jam space rock -- fans of Acid Mothers Temple would be interested)
Monopot "Something Is Like Nothing Was" (Quintessential bare-bones post-rock in the vein of Low "Things We Lost in the Fire")
and another worth mentioning;
The White Birch "Star is just a Sun" (Synth-heavy post-rock but vocals on almost every song)
"La caca eres tu is an absolute master of foreskin mechanics."

Big hugs to y'all. McLaughlin is my favorite Guitarist of all time. Birds of Fire is another awesome one. Also check out The Lost Trident Sessions, Apocalypse and Visions of an Emerald Beyond. Have one Shakti album too called Natural Elements. All fucking killer. So go listen to em and like em folks.hooked on sonics wrote:nothing else comes close to this one for me; i'm prone to excessive hyperbole, but really, this is one is spectacular, especially if you're a fan of acoustic guitarneckbeard wrote:I like this thread
