For those of you turned off by Godspeed You! Black Emperor and the like, for shame. However this might be your way in. A redemption, an eye opener, a revelation? Now I'm completely off a subject I haven't even gotten around to. This is a much lighter approach to the usually foreboding arena of instrumental or post-rock.
Tortoise has a few records, and sadly this is the only good one. It's fantastic actually. The others? Well they're just sort of boring and uncohesive. They're not bad, they just "don't," if you follow. Millions Now Living however, is a journey the way great records tend to be. The kind of record that when it ends you kind of want to wait a while before you move onto to something else. As if the silence that follows is still a part of the piece. This is what great records do.
( I'm finding it easier to have something to say about these without the, "I first heard/became aware of this..." blargy barf.)
Come on in:
