^I'm glad you found it interesting. I agree, the post-rock tag can be applied to this only very broadly, mainly as a time frame. It's interesting to me that you felt an industrial vibe there. That metallic feel of 'Underdog' (which is probably my favorite) and other tracks, I usually associate with that weird tunings one can find in early Sonic Youth and Glenn Branca, that hollow sound. But, yeah, metallic, industrial...I can see the connection, except, that vibe is gained with traditional rock instruments (guitars mainly). And, yeah, the best tracks are those where that improvisation is utilized in concrete structures and 'Snowy' is truly epic. It's really sad that they haven't recorded anything else.
Sure, I'll check out Manafon by David Sylvian. I've heard very little by him, but he was always one of those musicians I've been meaning to explore. Thanks.
