I have to admit, im fairly ignorant as far as Post-rock goes. The only album i have is Agaetis Byrun by Sigur Ros, which i thought was pretty boring after five or so listens. It is certainly peaceful, but it fails to capture my attention. Does anyone have recommendations for an album that might break me into this genre?

On regards to putting Yowie in RIO
That sound fair. If anyone wants to hear them I could only find one song and its on their myspace. http://www.myspace.com/yowie Edited by Hatters - November 01 2006 at 14:18 |

Post-rock? What? When?
Good to see people liking this genre and having the "patience" to listen to the bands mentioned. 
There are many albums to help you get into the genre, but first I would like some info on your musical taste to give you a good starting point. |

Godspeed You Black Emperor is certainly very good. Other than that, I have little experience with the genre, and I won't until I get more money

I'm always shocked whenever people talk about Post rock, how little mention () gets.
IMO it is the greatest album ever recorded. There is simply nothing better. It has the perfect blend of beauty, ethereal moods, and driving melodies. I listen to it at lest twice a day...

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 like this album, but I need to be in a certain mood to appreciate it. I don't have the same problem with the other Sigur Ros albums except that I only listen to Agaetis Byrjum at mornings or nights and never in the day, but with () I need to be sad or in a melancholic mood in wich I rarely am. Still a great album. |

My favorite part of post-rock is that it encompasses many styles throughout it's influences - listen to a band like Pelican and you'll hear some metal, or listen to Do Make Say Think/Tortiose and there's some jazz... or better yet, some Magyar Posse can offer you a slightly classical sound.
I'm a big fan of what post-rock is doing for music, as it's moving away from the simplistic forms of modern pop music. While the music itself isn't usually too complex, the form of a post-rock song definitely varies and shows some more artful treatment of dynamics. Good stuff, overall. |

Go and listen to my music.

I’m not sure either of the decline of prog- metal. A couple of Tool’s albums have managed to cart at #1 in the That said Sigur Ros has achieved tremendous success also, and their latest album Takk… has gone gold in two countries after just a year or so. In conclusion both genres are growing and expect to see the two intertwine. |

Neurosis, Isis, Pelican, Cult of Luna, Irepress, Red Sparrowes... I think the two have already intertwined quite firmly. |

As I say, it is a wonderful album.  How is Bell Orchestre, in your opinion? I'm interested. |

Agreed.
Many progressive Metal and Avant bands also use post-rock elements, e.g. maudlin of the Well, Kayo Dot, Novembre(latest), Agalloch(the two last albums).

Well, I hope to buy some GYBE, as of now I've only heard it on the radio. Then I'll probably move to Sigur Ros. If they impress me as well, I might move beyond that, but I have no idea where.
