Eliminator Jr. Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm in for some solid anthrax riffage though. Their first records are fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Two copies of Solace up on Discogs..... http://www.discogs.com/sell/item/308221914?text=Jakob-Solace&format=Vinyl http://www.discogs.com/sell/item/308221728?text=Jakob-Solace&format=Vinyl Kinda price, but I offered the dude $60 for the Graveface variant. That cover is sick. aaaaaaand they're gone. That was fast. Should have pulled the trigger at $80 for the Graveface pressing, but I've spent wayyyyy too much money lately. Damnit. I hope they use that cover for the repress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 So, John over at Spartan Records got an overage of the "Hallie Rose" variant of Shy, Low's "Hiraeth" record, so if you didn't get a chance to grab this sick-looking variant.... now you can! A few copies left, I grabbed one. http://spartanrecords.limitedrun.com/products/558800-shy-low-hiraeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Fuck yeah! I hope it sounds better than the Snowdon Lilly. Maybe it's just the mastering was shitty for the vinyl pressing, but mine sounds pretty flat. The overdriven section of "Nostos" at the beginning is just a giant muddy mess. The rest of the clean sections of that song, especially the bass groove middle section, and the rest of the "chill" songs sound BEAUTIFUL. But the overdriven stuff kinda sounds like ass. :\ Also, the hi-hats sound... shitty. I really wish they used a different set, or EQed them differently. Oh well, the music still rules.

Gumbo72203 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Gumbi, you know too much. It's a curse. Like perfect pitch and all of its derivatives. It is. Whenever I play the record I think "man I wish they used a different set of hi-hats" haha. I don't get that vibe when I spin the CD though! The vinyl pressing just makes them so much more present and dimensional, they really sit independently in the mix, which is great.... if you use a nice-sounding set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Figured I would throw out some bands on here since I haven't done that in a while. Some new, some old, some you might have heard of, some you might haven't heard of. Happy listening. Legendary Skies // Novarupta // Post Rock / Instrumental | Austin, TX || BC: https://legendaryskies.bandcamp.com/album/novarupta || Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1TlJgpYwsU2yysWQ46dmBg Audrey Fall // Mitau // Post Rock / Instrumental / Post Metal | Latvia || BC: https://audreyfall.bandcamp.com/album/mitau || Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/12I1GTB1bBRxnm5KXhjJtU * The production on this album is absolutely beautiful. Save Us From The Archon // Thereafter // Experimental / Math Rock / Instrumental / Post Rock | Pittsburgh, PA || BC: https://saveusfromthearchon.bandcamp.com/album/thereafter-2 || Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5HrtRdKfdnzXKaxkmpisTs mutesite // re:start // Ambient / Instrumental / Post Rock | Malaysia || BC: https://mutesite.bandcamp.com/album/re-start Echoes of the Moon // Entropy // Post Metal / Black Metal / Instrumental / Post Rock | South Bend, Indiana || BC: https://echoesofthemoon.bandcamp.com/album/entropy *Definitely an interesting listen. First 4 tracks are ambient and inviting. Next 4 tracks have the black metal vibe. Spurv // Skarntyde // Instrumental / Post Rock | Oslo, Norway || BC: https://spurv.bandcamp.com/album/skarntyde || Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/2B6REZk8VmWwBzzorOqXnc * This album is fucking fantastic. Definitely has that outdoors / exploring vibe to it. PARQKS // Slow Ascent Melancholia // Instrumental / Post Rock / Ambient | France || BC: https://parqks.bandcamp.com/album/slow-ascent-melancholia || Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/52OK06D3MszDWfDmAYA8dI Square Peg Round Hole // Corners // Instrumental / Post Rock / Ambient / Jazz | Philly, PA || BC: https://squarepegroundholemusic.bandcamp.com/album/corners || Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/7ayCMcHc4Z2apFJ3lK2x99 * The percussion definitely gives this album a jazz vibe, which I dig.

Sad Heart Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Whale Fall // The Madrean // Instrumental / Post Rock / Soundscape | Los Angeles, CA || BC: https://whalefall.bandcamp.com/album/the-madrean || Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/3zCfqpNoi9xG6nPZtvb67N * This band is pretty interesting. They incorporate brass horns, which is a risky move, but I think they pull it off well. They also change up their feel through out, so the album takes on different tones, but blends well as it does so. Compass & Knife // The Setting of the Old Sun // Instrumental / Post Rock | Tacoma, WA || BC: https://compassandknife.bandcamp.com/album/the-setting-of-the-old-sun || Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/2Y407hittAvullTSK3EUVQ * It kind of has a slow start, but keep with it, cause damn does it pick up. Magma Waves // Mitsuki, Hida, 1579 // Instrumental / Post Rock / Post Metal | Germany || BC: https://magmawaves.bandcamp.com/album/mitsuki-hida-1579 * Tobias Stieler of Kokomo mixed and mastered these songs, so you know they sound good. Also, Ansgar Koenig of Kokomo is on guitar. Sleeping Bear // Parinae // Instrumental / Post Rock / Post Metal / Atmospheric | Kiev, Ukraine || BC: https://sbear.bandcamp.com/ * Getting a very strong God Is An Astronaut vibe on this at times, mixed in with some post metal influences. Really fun listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 This confirms my current opinion on post-rock again: there are too many post-something bands out there doing the same thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Echoes of the Moon was a great listen, will check out a couple more later today. Thanks Matt, such educated input is always most welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 This confirms my current opinion on post-rock again: there are too many post-something bands out there doing the same thing... So? You can pretty much say that about any genre. How many bands actually push through boundaries and advance the genres they are accompanied with? Not many. But I like the "post-rock" sound. I don't like all bands, but the more there are, the better chance of me finding something that clicks. That was ultimately the point of this thread. Everyone post bands they have been checking out, and although we won't all like everything, hopefully something will click with someone. I don't disagree with your statement, but I also don't have a problem with that issue you bring up. I genuinely forget, have you suggested any bands we should all check out? I can't remember and don't feel like weeding through 93 pages of stuff. But since you say everything being suggested is pretty stale, who should we check out?

Eliminator Jr. Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 nice! that album is almost impossible to find reasonably priced It is indeed, although both Laughing Stock and Mark Hollis' self titled album have been reissued a mere five years ago. This new repress is supposed to be identical to the '11 one, which is truly breathtaking. Definitely one of the best sounding records I have.
