Jaga Jazzist is great, but I never realized they were post rock.
They are experimental, if you refer to that.
Anyway, a great band.
 
 
 
 
I would personally put Jaga Jazzist in acid jazz myself, rather than post rock.
 
And I have yet to reada word of Tarentel on this thread.
 
I think that unfortunately too many groups are effectively plagiarizing the GYBE! (and not GY!BE) and DMST sound.
 
I have a hard time liking newer bands (like EITS or Mogwai) solely because of this trademark sound. Technically all those newer groups are as good as the first generation, but they lack their own "soul", IMHO

Hoping it catches on...

What's a good album/song by Tarentel, Sean? I saw all your reviews on them. Heh.

And I urge everybody to get Envy's newest album, Insomniac Doze. It's fantastic if you don't mind screamo vocals. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

EDIT: I thought I'd also add I never was too fond of this kind of vocals until I heard this band. They turned me around.

I agree with there being alot of clone bands. One has to dig really deep to find a very original band now days.

I only have From bones to satellite and The order of things and I think the latter would be a good place to start. From bones to satellite is a more pasive album and not very welcoming either. I think Sean would have a better recomendation though.

Another plug for Jaga Jazzist over here.

My call would be jazz rock/fusion for them, and here's why:

I've read on mulitple occassions on the site and off the site that jazz rock/fusion is a very inclusive genre, with bands like Planet X which have a clear metal influence to bands like Mahavishnu Orchestra with their Raga Rock influences. So I don't see why Jaga Jazzist, a post-rock influenced jazz rock/fusion band, couldn't be included in the genre.

But yes, for fans of post-rock, check out Jaga Jazzist. I think the closest comparison to Jaga might be some work by Do Make Say Think or Tortoise.

^ I'm listening to it right now! It's a perfect follow up to their debut. I'll give it some more listens and make a better comparisons, but so far so good.Thumbs Up

How did you enjoy that CD, Chamberry?

I'm going to let you guys know what I think of Thee Silver Mt Zion albums soon. I was going to listen to them today, but i had no time to.

Tortoise's 'Standards' is one of the best albums to come out in years, of any genre. And I guess Mogwai is 'post', but to me that's a little vague, more like industrial space rock.

Red Sparowes, Russian Circles, Tarantula Hawk=Good stuff.

All heavy. All "progessive" with a small p. All without vocals, the way I think post-rock should be. After all, no matter how heavy this music is, it seems to be more about atmosphere and ambience then anything a vocaiist might have to say. Even GS!YBE only uses samples, which are more about setting a mood than any particular statement the band might want to make.

At least that's my take Smile
"Life is fleeting, man" - Slick Willie

"Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die" - Another famous Willie

"Don't fear the reaper" -BOC

I haven't heard it as much, but from what I remeber this one is pretty much in the same level as their debut although my opinion might change after giving it a more in deph listening. Great album nonetheless.

and the one who recommended Russian Circles,Clap. Great band. Everyone who's into Isis, Pelican, Red Sparowes and other heavy bands should get their album called Enter.

O.K., they're not in PA and evidently a little unpopular, but Rachel Grimes' ensemble is making some of the sweetest and most beautifully recorded 'chamber-prog'. They deserve to be heard by anyone interested in original post-classical work within a jazz/rock format (drums, bass, piano). The music reminds of Satie's gymnopedies but with a modern progressive flair. I may start a thread on them but I can't figure out where to put it, Non-prog I suppose.

^^ Rachel's is a wonderful band, but IMO they're too classically oriented (There's hardly any rock aspect to their music) to be included here.

IMO Clogs is a band that is also classical oriented that is also named with Rachel's and 1 Mile North and I find them to be more post-rockier than Rachel's. Anyone who likes those two bands might want to check them out.

It so crazy. This genre of music just keeps kicking my ass lately. Every thing I hear is just great. Its so powerful, I just want everyone to love it as much as I do... but there seems to be a lot of disinterest from other prog guys.
I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

I feel the same thing. Running around like crazy recommending Post-Rock to my friends. I have succeeded in getting one of them into it... most of the others don't seem interested... Cry

Hey, so I was just listening to some chorma Key, and I think that maybe this project should be moved into post-rcok. All the music has a very tortoise feel to it, but is deffintely not a rip off. it has a lot of spacey/pyshce elements (which is where they are now, ironically after my suggestion to put them there [they were in prog metal...which is comepltly incorrect]). but i tihnk they would definitely have a nice home in post-rock.
