Mogwai - The Hawk is Howling
 
Just seems... more organic than other post-rock albums. Organic might not be the right term, but there is something in this album that hits me.

read this whole thread, everything in here i actually own even though i didnt know what "post-rock" meant, but prog rock man you are the only other person ive met thats an Unwed Sailor fan! Faithful Anchor & Marionette and the Music Box are some of my favorite instrumental albums for sure! good onya!
 
p.s. does Ghastly City Sleep count as "post rock"? what about MeWithoutYou? I think my first introduction to "math rock" was on the hardcore side, Botch and Coalesce bringing in the heavy mathematics

I keep a watch on Unwed Sailor touring, in case they ever come to Scotland. I see a few concerts are coming in Germany, but it is too far!!

 

[Cymbal Monkey]

Post rock, oh man much love.

 

[Mr Do]

It all goes back to CAN in my opinion.

Y'know, I've never gotten around to listening to a Tortoise album before. I should probably start.
 
On the other hand, have any of you heard a band called Shora? It's a darker, more psychadelic sort of post-rock

I agree that part of the origins of post rock is with krautrock and the likes of Faust and Popol Vuh as well. As for Shora, I love Malval...

Happy, poppy, merry post rock
 
                                   

 

[Prog Rock Man]

Electro-post rock
 
     

 

[Prog Rock Man]

Not sure whether this is post rock or not, but it has many elements.......
 
      
 
Richard Barbieri was the keyboard player with British electro/pop/art rock band Japan in the 1980s and is now with prog/metal band Porcupine Tree. This solo album combines all in a wonderful instrumental wash of noises and rhythms.

Norwegian post rock/krautrock band Salvatore

Yesterday i got the album "union" by "the boxer rebellion".   they are not known here in israel and there is only one store in all of israel that have this cd.  but i am curious if you guys know them.  
I wouldn't exactly categorize them as post rock and they consider as alternative rock (at least by wikipedia) but they do have some very interesting stuff and they resemble a little of sigur ros...in the fact that they got some "atmospheric" parts in their music.
this is the best album i got in the past year or so and i very recommend you to take a listen.

So what Mogwai album should I move onto next? I've only listened to Young Team and The Hawk is Howling. Young Team is easily my favourite, but Hawk is damned great.
Have Mogwai got a "heavy" album?

 

[Prog Rock Man]

I would say that 'Come On Die Young' is the heaviest Mogwai album. For heavy I would recommend Grails........

If you are interested in a "heavy Mogwai" you could also check out Jakob (N.Z.) - I suggest starting with "Solace".
