If you look at the beginnings of "post-rock", Pink Floyd's early work is definitely at the forefront. I think there are a few other things to check out if you really want to see the beginnings of the genre.
1. Another Green World-Brian Eno
2. Anything from Dif Juz
3. Future Days-Can
4. "Warsaw" by David Bowie.

The bridge from DSOTM/Wish You Were Here to the likes of GYBE is this album:  Fields of the Nephilim's Elizium, produced by ex-Floyd musician Andy Jackson. The most criminally underrated album ever (solely due to the band's earlier forays into "goth" music), this will one day be revered as a post-rock classic to rank alongside any of the others mentioned on this thread. It's got the same ambitious, grandiose combination of beauty and power. The same sweeping builds to crescendo and aftermath that can transport the listener to a different plane without any other drug whatsoever. I'm 34 now, and I've owned this album for 15 years. The transition between the two tracks that form the last suite on this album (Wail of Sumer/And There Will Your Heart Be Also) still raises the hairs on my neck and brings tears to my eyes, all these years on. Every single time. Genius. |

Man, the record is REALLY good. I still enjoy their goth stuff though because hey, there's no such thing as a recovering gothaholic. I just couldn't fight it any longer so goth it up man. I feel like, really, there just isn't enough goth going on these days.

Oh sure. Yeah, I love Dawnrazor and The Nephilim, the latter's second half (in hindsight) the transition point between the goth/spaghetti-metal and the prog or post-rock stuff.
I've nothing against goth of course, but it's like being an author who writes sci-fi/fantasy - you're going to get sneered at by pseuds and critics. Hence the Neph release a disc Floyd would be proud of but it's consigned to being one of those weird albums that attracts 20 or 30 fanatical reviews on the world's Amazon sites saying "Ohmygodthisisthebestalbumever".
I lvoe finding albums like that, which is precisely why I'll be ordering the Mono album when I get paid, on the advice of my respected posting comrades on this board.

Ditto on scoring finds based on what other posters bring into the fold....I've got my eye out for "Mono" too and now getting this word on this FOTN release has my interest up --- about the only exposure I had with the band was their first album or so..... |

wow Jesus. . . I love Fields Of The Nephilim and have heard a lot of their stuff, but how is it that Elizium slipped thru the cracks & out of my grasp -? Therefore I am grateful you posted that. . . cuz thoRny's gunna get him some ELIZIUM asap!!!!!
I second skvor's "no such thing as a recovering gothaholic", and am still fully indebted to the music of JOhnny Indovina's HUMAN DRAMA as well as most of the standard entries on the goth menu: Projekt, Cold Meat Industries, Sisters Of mercy, peter murphy, bauhaus, and an dizzying blossom of darkwave unfurling out from that. Man I can hardly wait to get my mitts on that Elizium album . . .

Didn't realise we had so many Nephilim appreciators round here. Die-hards of that abrasive goth/power chord sound found in the Nefilim (Zoon) project might quite like NFD's recent album, No Love Lost.
The band includes ex-members of Nefilim, Rubicon (the Wright brothers' project prior to Last Rites) and Fields of the Nephilim (bassist Pettitt).
The album sounds exactly like you'd expect: A limited but fun goth/metal hybrid. The singer could pass for McCoy, but of course it's not on the same planet as FotN.

Well, I love both the new MONO and the new MOGWAI, but although MONO is more to my taste, I have got to hand it to the new MOgwai, so far, "Mr Beast" is pretty much on the intensity-level which I expected from the new mono album, whereas "You Are There" is about on the level I expected from MOgwai. Both excellent albums, but Mr. Beast blows me away. 2 More weeks before I see em live... ...and then: JUNE 6, in Salt Lake City: PELICAN and MONO, together in concert! DAMN... ! ! !!  |

I think the new Mono songs will be great live especially with them playing with Pelican. I think they are trying to own Pelican and everyone else live. Mogwai owns the whole genre this year though. It's amazing how everyone has been kind of shaking their head thinking that Mogwai was just kind of done.
