Anyone dig Jesu? Freaking great stuff. Broaderick is a genius. Listen to Sun Down, Sun Rise. Some awesome instrumentation.
I love Jesu and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

Jesu are excellent, haven't been keeping up with them over the past few years though. Their first two or three releases were brilliant. The Silver EP is my favourite.

I've listened to a lot of post-rock, but I just keep going back time and time again to Godspeed. As far as depth and scope goes, they are unmatched.

Hell yeah man Jesu are amazing!

Has anybody else heard the new *shels album Plains of the Purple Buffalo yet? If not then you really need to grab yourself a copy and give it a good listen with headphones. I don't know how they one-upped their debut Sea of the Dying Dhow (2007) but they've somehow managed to do it. Beautiful melodies that sound good heavy and soft with great musicianship and atmosphere. Seriously do not miss out on this one.

Don't know if most of you consider 'Porcupine Tree' as post-rock, but I am going to list them at the top!

Also Love:
Eluvium
Explosions in the sky
Everything is made in china
Spock's Beard
Mars Volta
Sunny Day Real Estate
Slowdive
Six Organs of Admittance
The Dead Texans
Portishead
Tool
Kitchens of Distinction
King Crimson
House Of Love
Dream Theatre
Blackfield
No-man
Bass Communion
I.E.M. (Incredible Expanding Mind ****)
Godspeed you black Emperor
Mogwai

Wouldn't classify all that as post-rock necessarily but okay okay, das wassup. Good list. Got the Portishead, Godspeed, Mogwai and Explosions on their, can't argue with that.

If Jesu is in the same post as Godspeed, than I will check them out.

Anyways, I'll just post some vids of some (imo) good post rock.



Don't know what the video has to do with the music.

I'm going to grab a copy/download of this just because you seem so passionate about this group. :beer:

Too many pages to see if any of this has been mentioned before, but here are a few tunes I like.

Pram: It's difficult to say if they're actually post-rock or not, but I don't know what else I would call them. Very diverse discography with a lot of interesting sounds. My favorite is Dark Island which is probably their most cohesive album. If noir post-rock were a real genre, Dark Island would be king.



contrasting the rest of their discography with their first album (Gash, 1992) makes for one of the most impressive sound shifts of any music career that I know of



Long Fin Killie: This group kind of demands that you like the singer in order to enjoy their sound. I'm not always a big fan of effeminate male vocals, but for some reason I think this guy has a really attractive style. They're bass heavy and have some bipolarity going on at times. Long Fin Killie definitely has one of the most unique musical personalities I've heard in the post-rock scene.





Quickspace: Kind of a post-rock group with a pseudo-punk approach. They have amazing guitar work and a really raw sound. Oh yeah, and they occasionally use a theremin, which I think is a criminally underrated instrument.
