If you really want a *post-rock* sound, try Pluramon's "Render Bandits". Gotta say, though, its much closer to Fridge or maybe Tortoise than to Pole. I hear that latter as minimalism informed by airy Detroit and a house touch. It gets cloudier when you toss in Kreidler and depends on the TRR you're spinning. 'Sall good, though. np- Veiculo ...TRR jeff -- wrote:

I'm really starting to get into this post-rock sounding stuff, its a great change from the ae-style stuff that I've been obsessing over lately. Also the Pan*American CD is really good, its kind of a cross between pole and low. any one else into this that can make some recommendations of other bands like this (urls would be nice too) thanks

Mogwai. Prolapse are good too, and get sorta Slinty, but I don't think they're what you want.

It's Mark Nelson of Labradford - plenty of Labradford style guitar atmospherics plus a looser feel, some bossa nova beats and Pole-style pops and clicks (and his ubiquitous metal-pipe-rolling- across-the-concrete-floor sample). Check out Labradford if you like the guitar sounds. For that organic poppier sound, try: - Kiln "Holo" (on Thalassa) - Waterwheel "Panchroma" (Alley Sweeper) - Fibreforms "Stone" (?) (these three all all connected member-wise somehow) - plenty of those leftfield UK/etc things - Acceleradeck, Flowchart, Piano Magic, Silvania For droning guitar atmospherics - anything by Labradford (maybe s/t 3rd album for starters?) - anything by Windy&Carl (Antartica's really good) - anything by Stars of the Lid (*seriously* drony) - Transient Waves (there's a new 12" on Fat Cat too) - Tomorrowland - most things on Kranky Beatier and noisier: - Chessie "Signal Series" - Eight Frozen Modules - The Confused Electrician - Bowery Electric (Vertigo remixes is good too) - Third Eye Foundation - You Guys Kill Me / Fear of a Wack Planet Germanic stuff: - anything by Kriedler, To Rococo Rot as you said - Tarwater "Silur" (really cool - quite structured, wistful, watery feel, with vocals that sound somewhat Kraftwerky) - Burger/Ink - Las Vegas - Lithops (unstructured and experimental) - Pluramon - Nuno Canavarro - Bergheim 34 - Ma Cherie for Painting And probably heaps more that have just slipped my mind.
