Great stuff cheers. Funnily enough I checked my Last.FM events about 30 seconds after posting that and saw that Maybeshewill are playing up here soon. I'll check them out.

I need to get into some of this Muon and Maybeshewill myself.

Also, for those interested, here's a list of post-rock groups I'm somewhat familiar with. As time passes I'll kind of give an overview of each group's sound so those interested can pick and choose what they may be partial to. They're not all straight "post-rock" per say, but they all have elements.

Aesthyses
The Album Leaf
The American Dollar
Anoice
The Calm Blue Sea
Caspian
Crippled Black Phoenix
Do Make Say Think
EF
Glowworm
God is an Astronaut
Godspeed You Black Emperor!
Halves
Hammock
Helios
Jakob
Johann Johannsson (not exactly post-rock by any means, but somehow I feel it belongs...)
M83
Mono
Red Sparowes
Saxon Shore
Set Fire To Flames
A Silver Mt. Zion
This Is Your Captain Speaking
This Will Destroy You
Yndi Halda

I could definitely give you a couple suggestions. For starters, I think Saint by Jakob is a great track, and it builds up a lot while being extremely simple. Beauties Can Die by M83 is also really powerful and "epic" in my eyes; it's not quite straight post-rock, but it definitely builds to an incredible climax.

Well Blue, I liked In a Safe Place better than Into the Blue Again, but I'll definitely have to check out the rest of their stuff, as it's quite good.

I also have "This is Your Captain Speaking," "Red Sparowes," and "This Will Destroy You" sitting untouched on my computer. Which of those would you recommend the most?

I haven't heard 'this is..' but the other two I was dissapointed with personally.

i tried Red Sparrowes the other day. didn't really enjoy it either.

just got a bunch of A Silver Mount Zion, but i'm having a hard time with it. the samples i heard were great, lots of strings, very epic sounds. but the actual tracks are not quite like that...

but i'm enjoying the Tortoise and Hammock albums i just got

This Is Your Captain Speaking have their moments. I have Storyboard and at times its really quite nicely melodic but I also thought it was quite lifeless and dull at times. I do need to give it another few listens though.

I've been getting into David Grubbs' stuff lately. He was a big part of the post-rock movement in the 90's but, he doesn't seem to get the credit he deserves.

Grubbs is the man.

I might be seeing Caspian on Tuesday. The only thing keeping me from it is the fact that it's a school night and I won't be home until about 1-1:30.
