Love or Hate?

Is it cool if I throw in another post-rock rec, since you dug Spiderland?
Godspeed You! Black Emperor's "Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven".
More instrumentally diverse than spiderland, and perhaps a bit long, but I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.

Bull. If the words "flying" and "lotus" are in then I'm justified in thinking it might be prog. FFS just look at the cover!

I'm afraid with ten posts, having joined over a year ago apparently, I'm not really likely to be taking your recs. Also your username is the same as this band/artiste: coincidence?

Got it. Brain melt syndrome; trying to do too much at once.

Quiet , you.

No problem. The list is shrinking so anyone feel free to throw yet hat in the ring.

Oh, hey, fly lo is coming up top. I look forward to that one.

Hmmm might be a hate but it's worth a shot anyway.

OK guys just keep sending. I don't have the time to add them all now, but I will, so don't think you're not being considered because the list hasn't been updated. I'll try to do so before the weekend, or at least by Monday. Or Tuesday. Wednesday tops. Possibly Thursday. Well, by next weekend anyway. Or the one after that...

What's an indie twat?

Title: Phantasia
Artiste: Lite
Genre: Rock/Instrumental

Track 1 (Love) Pretty cool opener, like it a lot
Track 2 (Love) Much the same; didn't actually realise we had passed on to the second track
Track 3 (Love) This is really energetic. Love the guitar
Track 4 (Love)This isn't but I still love it, even more in fact. Interesting shift in direction. I still like it. A lot.
Track 5 (Love) Pretty much like everything here so far. Another sudden shift into a different style. Lovely.
Track 6 (Love) Really nice laidback little piece, very short
Track 7 (Love) I really like the way some of these songs seem to run down to an almost stop, then pick up in a totally different vein. If I wasn't watching the tracks I would think at least two of these were different, making up four songs in total.
Track 8 (Love) Second favourite so far. Another which seems to split into two separate tracks
Track 9 (Love) Yeah, love this too.
Track 10 (Love) Running out of superlatives here
Track 11 (Love) Just incredible

End result: When I first saw they were a Japanese instrumental band I rolled my eyes and thought of all those boring post-rock bands I've been subjected to. Absolutely the opposite here. Great melody, great arrangements and very easy on the ear. Excellent pick Plankton!

So, Love or Hate? Hmm. Let me see... Love of course

Chances of a full review: 1/10 (Again, only because it's all instrumental and I find those sort of albums very hard to review in depth)
