Yeah - great band.  I recommend "Giant Sons" if you're into this, too.  Last.fm has their stuff.

Is it all just awesome instrumentals like the first song? What album should I get? I want to listen to this shit while I'm getting my tat worked on today. Screw it. I'm dling their discography. Are the albums meant to be listened to from start to end?

Yup, they're all awesome instrumentals. All of their albums are great, so you made the right choice with getting the entire discography. All of their albums should be listened to from start to end; the songs on each album bleed together really well and have similar themes.

My ranking of their discography:

1. The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Space (generally agreed upon to be their best work)
2. All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone
3. Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever
4. How Strange, Innocence (generally agreed upon to be their weakest album)

I'm pleasantly surprised with what I heard. I needed something new. Plus, this will be a great soundtrack to my Civ 4 marathons.

Thanks Cursed.  :)

OKAY THEN!


check out Del Rey too...not sure if they're still around.  Though it may be better for you to not listen to a bunch of bands in this climactic post-rock style.  It's very easy to get burnt out on, I found...
