Hello. I'm late to the "post-rock" party. I really like "Djed" from Tortoise's "Millions Now Living Will Never Die". I enjoy the rest of the record, too, but not as much as "Djed" (perhaps because the other tracks seem to wear recognizable influences too prominently on their sleeves). So, I'm looking for recommendations. Should I get "TNT" (which would seem to be the logical next choice), or something else? Maybe another John McEntire-involved band? Help me out, y'all. Thanks, Bill ObIDM: I just got the Oval remixes of Tortoise from listmember Ernesto Ikerd, which qualifies him as a Good Trader. Thanks, Ernie! -- Sigma6 Interactive Media (a division of AppNet) / http://www.sigma6.com dj sets at: http://www.smallfish.co.uk/pondlife/issue3.html http://www.detroitpeoplemover.com

If you liked 'Millions...' you will like 'TNT'. Although I have owned the disc for a while, it has taken some time to grow on me. Now I think it is quite excellent. Geordan
