   Just been listening to 3 albums by Aereogramme - Sleep and release;Seclusion;My Heart Has A Wish That You Would Not Go

This group must be one of the most progressive post-rock/indie I have heard & I have listened to quite alot of this type of music resently.I was surprised that they were not included on the lists you have,although have been mentioned a few times.

Sleep and release - Prog death/extreme/post hardcore metal fans should listen to this - even a few growls on there,although there are alot of softer Sugar Ros/Indie rock type vocals as well.Alot of strings,symphonic parts as well acoustic guitar/violin & experimental electronics.

Seclusion - similar to above no growls this time
My Heart Has A Wish That You Would Not Go - much more melodic but quite progressive.It sounds much closer to 70's Prog to me this album although still retaining the post rock/indie sound.They generally have expanded their overall soundscape on this album but less heavy than previous albms.

Riverside,Porcupine Tree,general Post-Rock & Indie Rock fans such as The Flaming Lips,Mercury Rev should like this group.Definately in the New Prog area - generally Indie Rock that has similar characterists to 70's Prog.

Definate one to check out.

	Scratchy, I am unfamiliar with this band. Which team would you suggest that we have evaluate them first? I am thinking the post-metal team based on what you have written. Here is a link to their MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/aereogrammeofficial And a link to their official website http://www.aereogramme.co.uk/ Thank you for your suggestion. Scott

	Great band - unfortunately they broke up last year.

	Hi Mike. I see that on www.progfreak.com you have them marked as Prog Related. What genre here on PA do you think that they might fit in?

	The post rock/math rock team possibly I would suggest as well.I have heard of them before but I don't believe I have listened to any of their music.A friend of mine asked me to listen to them.I like their sound & their vocalist is quite expressive which is unusual in a Indie rock type of group.Perhaps they have gone a bit Coldplay/Snow Patrol on their latest album but are definately more adventurious/progressive than those groups.

	It's really been quite a while since I listened to them. I'd say that Post/Math and Eclectic would be possible, and I tend towards Eclectic because they're not really that Post/Math. A bit like a mix between Oceansize and 65daysofstatic. I'll listen to them again tomorrow!
