you can throw in A Minor Forest too ....they get a little noisy sometimes but most tracks are instrumental and epic in length. Really complicated and abrupt but beautiful at the same time... ------ emosissy

Sounds terrifying. But gives me a good idea. Next IDM-y show I attend, I'll yell "FreeBird" for the encore. Just can't wait to hear Autechre's version. This happened to Zappa once. For his next tour, he had his band play a Zappification of the song. Be careful what you wish for... By the way, listened to Patrick O'Hearn today, and one track sounded very Autechrish. Well, Autechre on Prozac. Go figure. I don't know any Ui other than the red remix album, which is quite groovy. Just basses and drums for the most part. Why, oh why, Crusher of Chairs, dost thou have such a cruel name? Thou has undoubtedly slain many a wild chair and thereby saved many a fair maiden! Regards, Zenon M. Feszczak Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorderly on now, at long last, for the first time ever, yes it's true: SAW II

That's just math-rock. Or prog. I think postrock implies that you have other influences besides rock and A Minor Forest just sound like a plain ol' rock band. People have been mentioning Slint and I'd say the same thing about them. emosissy wrote:

I had a similar experience seeing Tortoise live. In fact that show left such a bad taste in my mouth that I've lost interest in anything they've done post "Millions Now...". They were trying to improvise and it was so obvious that they haven't done their homework it was disgusting. ChairCrusher wrote:
