yup, Amplifier played at the DVD gig, unfortunately I did not really like them.
also I was rather tired and wanted to collapse, but didn't want to go out because I was afraid I will never be able to go back

i can't stop listening to that album these days.

 

[Maqus]

That's the clear sign that you've already gone mad.

 

[pistol_pete]

i think you're right

 

[Dwra]

Dunno if it's postrock or not, but i'd suggest Godspeed you black emperor, Cat Power, Death in Vegas, Goldfrapp, The Notwist, Archive, The Magnetic Fields and that's it for today

 

[zupi_clone]

Goldfrapp? my bollix they are, Archive are shite, depressing shite, Death in Vegas arent post rock either, neither are The Notwist, these are leftfield electronic artists, decent producers mind, they also own alien transistor records

 

[marginalé]

I'm just waiting on that Mono album now...

the walking cloud.. one? i got it since a month and i haven't took it out of the cd-player since (ok, maybe two times..)

 

[pistol_pete]

Post-rock

The term post-rock was coined by Simon Reynolds in issue 123 of The Wire (May 1994) to describe a sort of music "using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbres and textures rather than riffs and powerchords."

Originally used to describe the music of such bands as Stereolab, Disco Inferno, Seefeel, Bark Psychosis and Pram, it spread out to be frequently used for all sorts of jazz- and Krautrock-influenced, instrumental, electronica-added music made after 1994. Bands from the early 1990s such as Slint and Talk Talk were influential on this genre. As with many musical genres, the term is arguably inadequate: it is used for the music of Tortoise as well as that of Mogwai, two bands who have very little in common besides the fact that their music is largely instrumental.

The aforementioned Tortoise was among the founders of the movement. After the second Tortoise LP Millions Now Living Will Never Die, the band became a post-rock icon. After Millions... many bands began to record, inspired by the "Tortoise-sound" and were often described as post-rock.

In the late nineties, Chicago, Illinois, became the home base of many different groups. John McEntire (of Tortoise) became an important producer for lots of them, as well as Jim O'Rourke (of Brice-Glace, Gastr del Sol and many more). Post-rock began to range from the slow, guitar-based ambience of Boxhead Ensemble to the up-tempo electronica of Stereolab.

Montreal, Quebec band Godspeed You Black Emperor! — later renamed 'Godspeed You! Black Emperor' — brought a political element with anti-globalization movement leanings.

By the early 2000s, the term had started to fall out of favor, while the major artists kept on making high quality recordings. The wide range of styles covered by the term had robbed it of its usefulness almost from the moment it was coined.

Closely related to post-rock is the genre known as Math rock, characterized by more percussive timbres, and more dissonant harmonic gestures.
