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:

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.

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:

"The old Republican Party was a stool with three legs: social conservatism, economic conservatism and national security conservatism.
So too is the MAGA Republican Party. One of those legs is the nativist extremism of Stephen Miller. The second is the anti-government extremism of Russell Vought.
And the last is the open, flamboyant corruption of Donald Trump — a corruption that degrades a people’s faith in government and makes it all the easier to remake the state in the image of a single man."  - Jamelle Bouie 2025-11-17

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