what, you're trying to value your ignorance as moderation? the clarification is a bit much, but not toally unecessary, as GYBE fans will likely dig mogwai (who are pretty damn great, btw), and fans of that will be into the unfortunately labeled drone metal giants SunnO))), Pita, Earth, et al.

but since the thread specifically said ambient, i would say you might like aMute a whole hell of a lot. and i second the explosions in the sky, one of the very few post rock bands who have a sense of melody thats more developed than their sense of epic crescendo-ing, and that a GOOD thing.

one thing i dont understand is why mono are great and GYBE are shit. mono revive crap that was amazing in 1999 and do absolutely nothing new with it. i really dont get their fans very much.

JESUS, that is a nasty avatar.

that's ignoring the fact these bands were appearing in every thread. boris, in bands you're embarrassed to like? earth, in a thread about dreams or some such turdery? I like sunn, but I don't think they're anything much like GYBE or mogwai. in any case, I doubt that's why AH decided to mention them.

just checked out aMute's myspace, they're pretty cool man. hit my country reminds me of thom yorke's solo stuff and bee and flower. and yeah, I agree about mono - but since were GYBE shit??

I'll second Explosions in the Sky. Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die... This album is a classic (to the extent we can say that about post rock). It sounds like the soundtrack to an epic movie about the battle between good and evil.

We all know Slint right?

Disco Inferno. If you haven't heard DI Go Pop, you haven't heard anything like it.

MONO (Japan)

God is an Astronaut. These guys are a bit more electronic.

Ulrich Schnauss. Also electronic. They get lumped in with shoegazers a lot.

Kinski. They rock like an instrumental Sonic Youth.

A Whisper in the Noise

sunn might be one degree too far to really be the first thing to pop in yr head when mentioning GYBE, having other bands like kinski, EITS, polmo polpo, or even 65 days of static be much closer to what they do.
but if he wants ambient, it's good to direct attention to those who know and live ambient (or drone), instead of naively messing with it as a segue to grander things, as GYBE do.
but i'm not saying they're shit at all. i was just wondering why so many mono fans talk about yanqui UXO as being tired when they're listening to an entire band who's been consistently 5 years late to everything since "one step more and you die"

speaking of polmo polpo, check out his album"like hearts swelling", rongi. it's my 5th favorite record of all time and fits exactly what you're looking for.
everything about it is golden to me.
