Any Post-Rockers in the house?

[Scott Dolan]

Heh. 

Brother, you're going to have to work a lot harder than that if you want to troll me.  

[Dmitry]

Not trolling. Just don't understand what you mean. That PF and SR have anything in common...don't hear any similarities, overt or otherwise.

I don't hear it.

I've been listening to A Lazarus Taxon over the past couple days. Especially welcomed on this quiet, rainy morning. 

 

The first time I heard Tortoise was "djed" on the HEADZ compilation. It was not out of place, but different. I listen back to that collection now and there really wasn't all that much going on. Very static, laid-back aesthetic with almost no dynamics. The Tortoise track was almost the negative of that. This set connects back to that DJ and trip-hop culture, minimalism, 'seventies Miles Davis, Pygmy music, or krautrock on a track-by-track basis. Oftentimes, many of these disparate influences seem complimentary within a given track.
