yeh, although without sounding like a twat, that is more "post rock" kinda proggy epic stuff, where as the stuff Im talking about does/can cross in, it's a different kinda vibe

If shoegazing is yer bag, the new Ulruch Schnauss album is unfeasably spangly.

Jesu .. for obvious reasons
ISIS.. for similar reasons
SEAM - one of the greats, Soo Young Park was on it, years before many
Codeine as mentioned elsewhere. Nice to get back into them, I feel they set a certain standard for slooooow music, and intensity in places.
Three Mile Pilot - from San Diego, active from like '92 - '98. They contained members of The Black Heart Prosession & Pinback, if anyone was into them. Apparantly 3 Mile Pilot have reunited. If you havent' heard them check them out, the early stuff is slow, brooding. Quite a contrast to the post-hardcore bands that San Diego was known for in the early 90's.
The Tindersticks - a guilty pleasure
The Dirty Three .. a bit noisy/spastic in places, but very cinematic at their best, don't ya think?
big up to anything on Kranky Records. Class label.

Yeah,but 3 Mile Pilot was the band that also started what became a signature "guitar tone" that every band that came from,during and after thier time used in very dfferent and distinct ways,including Drive Like Jehu,No Knife,Rocket From The Crypt,Inch,Drunk Tank,Olivelawn,Lucy's Fur Coat,and even Chinchilla.I used to catch 3 Mile Pilot shows all the time and was at thier final show as well.Great band.Highly influential.
As for the post-hardcore stuff,I'd have to say that Tanner were the ones who really started that particular SD sound.You can hear it in No Knife.In fact,that tnuc from Dashboard Confessional says that "Hit Man Dreams" was a major influence on his sound,if not the biggest.

Yup.I was a Casbah/Velvet/Brick By Brick regular during the 92-98 era.Lived right up the street from the Casbah and Velvet.Most of those bands were just coming out when I used to see them.Clickitat was the bizniz!A few peeps on here have brought a few SD bands up.
Are you from SD?Did you ever get into Fishwife,Pitchfork,and Fluf?
On the shoegaze tip,Red Dye No.5 were really ace.A few really good friends of mine(including an ex-bandmate)play in a pretty good band called Perfect Face For Radio which is shoegaze/noisepop.

nah Im from the Midlands, UK!
I am part of a tiny pocket of old emo nerds on the internet that are based on the Collective-zine forum who find obscure records/chat about the classics.
