Geekhack Post-Rock/Ambient Thread
« on: Sun, 09 December 2018, 18:08:04 »
One of my other passions in life is Post-Rock and Ambient music. I have met a few people in the community that also share this passion. I thought this would be a good place for us to talk about it!

Who are some of your favorite artists?





Here are my ongoing Spotify Playlists:
Post-Rock:

Who are some of your favorite artists?

In post-rock, definitely too many, including the standards:


However, although I saw them live last June, I mostly prefer the uncommon ones, because some day you just know everything that sounds like Mogwai...  :)

Sigur Rós:


Jambinai:


Godspeed You! Black Emperor (and their side project A Silver Mt. Zion):



Meniscus:


Assuming they count as "proto post-rock" as well, Talk Talk:


Some of my other "post-rock" favorites (like boris and Plurals) are probably rather "doom metal" bands, so I won't list them here - I try to make a difference between those, at least. :)

Do the early Silent Hill soundtracks count as Ambient? I know some are industrial, which is kind of off-topic for this thread.

T1000 , Firmware ver. Doge.

Most deadly of them all.

Nice! I had not heard of some of these. I love Sigur Ros and GSY!BE.

Have you listened to Jonsi and Alex? (Jonsi from Sigur Ros and his Boyfriend Alex Sommers).

Their album Riceboy Sleeps is a constant rotation for me.

I'm really not sure about all this because I am an old geezer, but back in the day we had this:

"It turns out that for a decade, whenever Trump wanted to get a loan, or make a deal, he would inflate the value of his real estate. For instance, suggesting that his 11,000-square foot penthouse was a 30,000-square foot penthouse.
And the attorney general of New York knew that Trump's property values were inflated because when it came time to pay taxes, Trump undervalued the very same properties.
It was all part of a very sophisticated real estate practice known as “lying.”

One of my hometown favorites: The Mercury Program. Never had the chance to see them live (thankfully people upload recordings when possible).
