TNT (1998) more music like this

by Tortoise

Expected by many to continue leading the post-rock brigade into a new fusion with dub and electronics, Tortoise instead turned yet another corner with their third album, TNT. Adding guitarist Jeff Parker to cement their musicianship as well as their connections to Chicago's fertile jazz/avant-garde scene, the band returned with a record of post ...

In the Fishtank [EP]

In the Fishtank [EP] (1999) more music like this

by Tortoise & the Ex

In a meeting of musical minds that took just 48 hours to record, meticulous sonic sculptors Tortoise collaborated with the Ex, a group of Dutch avant noise-mongers. The result is In the Fishtank, a six-song EP that sometimes blends the bands' divergent styles into a harmonious hybrid, and other times falls victim to stylistic clashes. The more ...

It's All Around You

It's All Around You (2004) more music like this

by Tortoise

Tortoise only release an album about once every three years, and their style is one of the most distinctive in rock music, so a record that fails to push them forward can hardly be termed a failure. And yet, It's All Around You is a disappointment since it's clear the quintet is in a holding pattern, making music derivative of old glory TNT and ...

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Millions Now Living Will Never Die (1996) more music like this

by Tortoise

Tortoise's production expertise hit an early peak with Millions Now Living Will Never Die, a work that not only references studio-centric forms like dub and electronica, but actively welds them to the group's aesthetic of sturdily constructed indie rock. The centerpiece is the 21-minute opener "Djed," a multi-part track which brought Tortoise's ...

Macro Dub Infection, Vol. 1

Macro Dub Infection, Vol. 1 (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

Dub is not just for reggaeheads anymore, as numerous recent compilations of club-oriented dub tracks can attest. Dub is also no longer just a variation on a theme. Whereas the dub remix used to serve primarily as a source of cheap B-sides for economy-minded producers of reggae singles, it has evolved into a musical entity all its own now; most of ...

Offbeat: A Red Hot Sound Trip

Offbeat: A Red Hot Sound Trip (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

A collection of ambient breakbeat and soundtrack-influenced rock, Offbeat is an appropriately titled left-field venture of the Red Hot + Blue benefit series. Included are tracks from "alternative" acts like Soul Coughing, My Bloody Valentine, Spookey Ruben, Barry Adamson and Laika, plus more dancefloor-oriented producers like Skylab, DJ Krush, ...

Standards

Standards (2001) more music like this

by Tortoise

Revered for their ineffably clean, precise playing, Tortoise couldn't help but mess with the formula slightly on their fourth album, Standards. And from the beginning of the first track it sounds like a major overhaul, with heavily over-miced drums and distorted guitars framing a pummeling groove from bassist Doug McCombs. On the second track ...

Tortoise

Tortoise (1994) more music like this

by Tortoise

An album that not only set the tone for the new Chicago prog rock, but also cemented the musical niche for Thrill Jockey Records. Here, multi-instrumentalists John McEntire, Dan Bitney, John Herdon, Douglas McCombs, and Bundy K. Brown share equal responsibility and trust in each other, pouring out a thick stew of meditative grooves, light ...

Lounge Ax Defense & Relocation Compact Disc

Lounge Ax Defense & Relocation Compact Disc (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

The well-loved, fun Chicago club Lounge Ax ran into big legal bills fighting the city and a nasty neighbor trying -- and fortunately failing -- to close it. Thus, the club (and classy Touch & Go) put together this CD to help pay the lawyers, asking the many renowned underground touring acts that play there to contribute. Regrettably, none of the ...

A Means to an End: The Music of Joy Division

A Means to an End: The Music of Joy Division (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

The key to a successful tribute album is not only to have a brilliant band to pay tribute to, but a selection of unique bands playing the covers. A Means to an End is a beautiful selection of the songs of Joy Division, arguably one of the most important bands of the 20th century, played by some of the musicians they inspired. From the ...

Remixed

Remixed (1996) more music like this

by Tortoise

Picking up where Rhythms, Resolutions and Clusters: Remixed and Rare left off, the release of Tortoise's Remixed is a reworking of material from Millions Now Living Will Never Die. Remixed is quite an eclectic compilation, featuring the work of Jim O'Rourke, Oval's Markus Popp, Bundy K. Brown, and others. The album also features Tortoise member-to ...
