	The very short story: behind all this is a very young guy, 20 or 21 I think, who produces other people's albums and releases them through his label (Asiluum, which is basically an internet blog). He also plays in several bands. Since he comes from industrial rock/metal, I wouldn't be surprised that sound quality thing was rather a low-fi poetic statement. Thanks for the thumbs up Henry! What genre would you suggest?

	Yikes, ax B could really use some better production values, or maybe it's just Myspace's low quality streams. Anyway, it sounds like prog to me, although I can't say I understand what the deal with Asiluum is.

	Thanks, yeah the page was available when I first checked it out, and is again. Listening to the tracks from the album now, and hearing the album properly, and I agree that "For bands like these I wish we still had the old "Experimental / Post - Rock" sub-genre".

	That problem with the blog wasn't there when I started this thread. Anyway, the album can alternatively downloaded from here: http://www.archive.org/details/asiluum11

	Thanks, Alex. I like the music, and will definitely download that track (and the rest soon -- as I cleared up some old files on my 'puter I made some space). Was going to listen to that one now, but I'm getting an internal server error from the asiilum.com site now for the download page. Hearing Japanese, even in the background, is always a plus for me. Every time I go to a Japanese restaurant I have to fight the urge not to try to converse in my broken Japanese (or throw out basic comments/ words in Japanese -- it embarrasses the wife, and ultimately me commonly).

	Thanks for supporting this submission, Greg. I was thinking you might enjoy that track with someone speaking japanese in the background (probably taken from an animation), but I don't think it's on their MySpace.

	I didn't want to download the album now since I have an old computer with a wee hard drive, but I am listening to myspace now: http://www.myspace.com/discordless Electronic, or Avant. EDIT:Haven't listened again, but meant to mention yesterday: and it has similarities to ones in Krautrock too, such as Faust, methinks. Edited by Logan - December 16 2009 at 09:24

	This is also a band with an album released as both free download and CD purchase by the Asiluum net label. Free download here: http://asiluum.com/site/2009/10/15/discordless-148-light-years/ The music is not something new in general or to PA, but it's difficult to ascribe to PA sub-genres. It comes from those developments made in that no man's land between post-rock, industrial rock and electronica. I would say this band belongs to where Tortoise also belongs, but it's not post-rock or math rock (but neither is Tortoise). For bands like these I wish we still had the old "Experimental / Post - Rock" sub-genre. I'm volunteering for the bio if this is approved. Edited by harmonium.ro - August 06 2010 at 08:09
