  1. also im SO bummed i missed out on the past couple of pages and the post-rock argument... here is my late addition to the discussion:

    an except from an interview with Godspeed You! Black Emperor

     

    —there ain’t a lot in this world that excites me—fucking around with sound-volume-texture-melody—this is something that sets me off for sure and knowing that godspeed is around definitely gets me out of bed most mornings—textural washes of sound without clumsy attempts by some vocalist to fix a literal context with poorly written lyrics has a tendency to create images in yr skull—images of your own—music explodes into millions of different scenarios behind the eyelids—landscapes are common—building up a landscape in your skull with washes of texture played at loud volumes with some crapped out reverb and a little drunkeness is often fun—we have never composed a piece of music to a particular set of images though—to reverse the process and build the soundtrack first and then lay film projections on top is infinitely rewarding—

     

  2. From the top of my head:

     

    'Contact' from Come Now Sleep by As Cities Burn
    'The Birth and Death of the Day' from All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone by Explosions in the Sky

    'A Three Legged Workhorse' from This Will Destroy You by This Will Destroy You

     

    also 'Torches Together', 'Messes of Men', and 'February 1878' by mewithoutYou, from Catch For Us the Foxes, Brother Sister, and Ten Stories respectively.
