    Nice. O'Canada sounds cool. I'm liking the new heavier psychadelic/ambient movement that's coming around now. Hopefully more and more people will develop the patience and attention span for this type of music.

    Agreed. But at the same time i think it's pretty unlikely. There is quite a solid underground instrumental scene taking off though (which is promising)

    I find myself on these two sites a pretty good amount:
    http://www.afterthepostrock.com
    http://www.thesilentballet.com

    great forums on both of those sites and i've been turned on to a ton of solid instrumental bands through them.

    All time favorites would be Mono and Do Make Say Think

    Right now I'd say Caspian (from Beverly, MA!)

    and maybe Theta Naught

    So many options though :)

    How about you?

    Awesome!

    Explosions in the sky are absolutely awesome!
    Russian Circles are kick-fucking ass!

    You guys should check out Ring, Cicada. They are another awesome band. An album called Good Morning, Mr. Good, it was the soundtrack for my to trip to London, ON to see PJ.

    Yea I've heard Caspian...good stuff. I also got big into Isis lately....they have some vocals, but I love how they're not at the forefront...they just blend in with the music. All good stuff.

    Yeah, i've listened to the new Caspian record "the Four Trees" and it's insanely good!

    We're doing a west coast tour with them in April so i'm pretty excited for that as well.

    Just a note - Pelican is toruing with Russian Circles this year if you didn't know. Looks like mostly midwest dates now, but more to be announced
