Oh, but I noticed you rated Herbie Hancock's Crossings only **. No wonder we don't hear the same things.
So, is Hancock perhaps an etalon for a righteous musical knowledge? About Jazz Rock, I rather prefer Colosseum, Cobham or Mahavishnu than him. Herbie is too experimental and "free" for me.
No, you rated one of my desert island discs a **, so I wrote that we have different preferences. Your jazz rock-preferences confirms that. Too free, too dark, too experimental, too depressive..., I don't have those issues.
And I don't know how you managed to twist no wonder we don't hear the same things... into... etalon for a righteous musical knowledge

Dude, we just want you to experiment.
Which experiment, gosh?
I just thought you should try more post rock to see if you like it, just a suggestion, you don't have to do it.
I have got a sufficient selection of so-called "Post Rock" to responsible assessment. Don´t care, please.

I´ve never understood of Post Rock (although I tried it). It´s depressive, melancholic, rather boring than interesting for me.
Depressive and melancholic music takes you to a realm of deeper consciousness if you are willing to let it.
Ok, that´s actually the problem. I´m not willing to let it.
I´m listening to music mostly in my car. Thus I don´t want to make sleepy (in principle: forever) myself.
Unlike other post rock, Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a cathartic experience and not depressing at all. Dark and pessimistic, but constructive and inspiring. Well, atleast to me it is.
Peter Hammill's Over, now that is depressive and melancholic (and wonderful)
I´ve listened properly your sample and must to admit that´s really depressive, destructive and not inspiring!
Incidentally, I own GY!BE discography on mp3, but only tucked somewhere in my drawer. Maybe if I´d want to committ suicide, I´ll pull out it again.
Oh come on, that's comparable to committing suicide while listening to Tiny Tim.

It really depends on how each individual define the progressive term.
GYBE! has overall more progressive elements & structures, long songs. But they're not exactly innovative or revolutionary. And I think their songwriting is inconsistent (Lift Yr Skinny Fists... is a true masterpiece, though)
Motorpsycho are a band more progressive in the true sense of the word; ie, changing styles from album to album, and sometimes just being genre-surfing weirdos. But imo better songwriters than GYBE!
So I'm not able to choose (and I can't vote anyway :D ). Besides, these two bands are quite different, so it's kinda unfair to compare them. I really like both, though.

Godspeed = One of the best bands in history, incredibly innovative, and surely to be regarded as one of the best bands of the last couple of decades in the future.
Motorpsycho = A pretty decent band that's fun to listen to a couple of times but not much more, not very original, and probably will be entirely forgotten in the future.
