just saw Golden and Transam... it's personal but I think they suck... Their
machoset used to be funny but I think what they really really want is to be
superstar. Just pay attention about how they look to the reaction of the
audience and you'll know what I mean. There's no evolution in their music
since two years and they are still humping between electronica and heavy
guitars without finding the link in between... There are some ideas but...
oh yeah, it's Constellation and Tortoise...
tips for postrock (with hints of Idm) Mapa, Deep, Out Of Worship, Him,
Portables, Grinberg, Paddleboat, Tied and Tickled Trio etc... Don't just
stick to these major names...
