Ride would be a cool band to check out. "Nowhere" is a great album, and they also have a new best of that just came out called "OX4"...I think.
Early records by The Flaming Lips would also be a good choice. They have a comp of their early, acid soaked, years that just came out called "The Day They Shot A Hole In The Jesus Egg." It's all really good. I'm a big fan of the song "Chrome Plated Suicide."
And dude, Pink Floyd of course.
Slowdive's "Souvlaki" is another good one. The Velvet Underground "White Light/White Heat" is as close to a must-own that you can get.
For post-rock, Chicago's Tortoise is the place to go. Their "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" was a biggie in the genre. Sigur Ros too...I guess. Mogwai as well.
Check all this stuff out at allmusicguide.com if you don't already. I'm sure they have a genre trees about all this type of stuff that would scratch your itch.

Way too broad. Is Borbetomagus post-rock, in that case? What about the Mahavishnu Orchestra?

Shityeah. And Pram's The Stars Are So Big, The Earth Is So Small - Stay As You Are album, and Bowery Electric's Beat, and anything by Ui especially Lifelike and their Uilab collaboration with Stereolab.
Stereolab, now I think about it, probably fit better than any other band to ALL FOUR genres mentioned in the thread title - start off with the Mars Audiac Quintet and Emperor Tomato Ketchup albums, then delve into the splendid Refried Ectoplasm (Switched On Vol.2) compilation and life will never be the same again.

Slowdive, FSA, Tortoise, Seefeel (also check out Mark Clifford's outings as Disjecta and 'production' work with Mira Calix) etc. etc. are all good entry points :)
... Bowery Electric are a bit too half-way-house if you ask me...

And may I please just say... THE NEW MEDICINE ROXORS!!! OK, maybe it doesn't roXor, but it does KICK ASS. Or wibble ass. Which doesn't sound pleasant, but my god does it make me happy happy happy happy happy. Capitol Who?
Get yerself some Medicine if you want some yummy chewy shoe/drone/shimmerpop. Shot Forth Self Living is a good place to start.
But my god, this new album shows Manitoba and Capitol K and all those screengazer kids HOW IT IS DONE!!! I was having a rubbish day until I put it on. Now life is perfect. The end.

Saw a band called The Germans (who are changing there name) who were good, I was more fascinated by the fact they stole a D5 from high school and didn't know enough to cover the R so it becomes a P but what can you do. Next show they are at Im bringing electrical tape for them.

the aforementioned pram record is so out of print and impossible to find it's like a taunt to recommend it.
the flowchart bliss out on darla is one of the best things that label ever released.
but, if you like MBV, check the first Lily's album.

At least, according to HSA. I thought he was making this up, because he likes to diss other DDB's that he knows I fancy (like telling me stories about how Sonic Boom has green skin and bad teeth). But then HSA called one of his mates whose name started with H and I saw his phone number on the page! That would have caused a girly squeal about ten years ago. But now it just caused a bemused smile.
OK, you can get a broom and brush the names off the floor, I'm done.

Oh...you mean The Stars Are So Big etcetc? I had no idea it was out of print. Ah well, if anyone would like a copy, I have it on (ahem) cassette and can probably do some sort of hilariously anachronistic "hi-speed dubbing" thing with it.
It's bloody good, and I'll throw in a burn of Too Pure's splendid drone/post/space/shoe primer Pop? Do We Not Like That if you like. Answers on a postcard.

― Rombald, Friday, 6 June 2008 18:08 (seventeen years ago)
That sounds cool. Haven't listened to the Ashtray stuff that I do have in a while. Would like to hear it 'rock out' a little more. I've completely spent my budget for new records, though.
