HomogenicBjörk 
You've seen this album cover before, I know you have we all have, it's such an iconic album that by seeing the cover for this album one can tell it's a classic. Considered by many to be the best Björk album and even the best album to come out in 1997 Homogenic by Björk was an album ahead of it's time, with it's delightful and wide rang of instrumentation yet ambitious choice of melody and digital instrumentation, Björk was nominated for a Grammy with this album only to lose by a small amount of votes to Radiohead's Ok Computer (Which is completely fair) featuring amazing tracks like Alarm Call, Jóga and Pluto, this album is not only contains some of my favorite Björk but is my favorite of that decade.

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—
