I seem to remember the name Tortoise, but havn't checked them out yet (nor even know if they're good or not). Anyone a fan of the genre?

I remember Tortoise being associated with the post-rock movement. in fact, i think they influenced most post-rock bands.

I guess tortoise are post-rock, but i never really liked that genre name to begin with. They have a lot of electronic sounds going on in their music, but not usually overkill. TNT and It's All Around You are my favorite tortoise albums, very unique stuff.

thats true, they are the clear innovators of the genre called "post rock" or "art rock." cool genre, cool bands, cool music :goggly:

godspeed you! black emperor, sigur ros and mogwai happen to be my favorites...and lets not forget the japanese band, mono. they do deserve a mention too.
 
i am giving sigur ros another chance. last time i listened to it i wasn't impressed, now i like it much better.
 
most prog heads know these records, but ill mention them anyway, because they deserve it.

Unless you a) have a vagina or b) have sex with men, please never use that phrase again. Cheers man.

ps. Benighted1, foolish yanks don't seem to know about the magic of meat pies. To them they only seem to be sweet desserts.
