[Kushantaiidan]

If you have heard any music by this strange band, answer me this:

WHAT ThE HELL...


amazing progressive stuff... and funny effects... quite haunting actually.

and I love long songs...

I prefer a silver mount zion But thayey are a godspeed splinter group so.....

And I agree, godspeed are one of the best post rock bands I don't consider Mogwai very post rock tho

post rock....post rock, how to describe it?
ambient, often instrumental, new...you'd have to listen to a bunch of post rock bands though to gain a sense of the sound that contributes to the style.

mogwai identify themselves as post rock, so i guess maybe they are

Yeah, but hey - look at my new smiley (I meant they weren't IMO very post rockey)

Hehe, sorry I love these new ones
