It is very simple to insert a video. It simply is not working. Now it may have been my old computer that was the problem. Let me see if it works now that I have a mac.
Moderators, please correct the video insert problem. It is the same on all web browsers I try.
I know. I hate the fact that i need a PHD in computers to use this site properly. I know one thing is for certain is that you need a PC. I phone/IPAD you can't do links very well. I don't know why. It's all about the programming and I know jack sh*t about computer programming. Took a course on it in grade 10 and got a 57%
So what does that tell you....?......I'm a moron. That's what. Lol
I LOVE Post rock that is VOCAL oriented. Forgive me if I offend anyone. But I was wondering if anybody can recommend any VOCAL oriented post rock albums? This category seems hit or miss for my personal tastes.Example. September malevolence has an amazing VOCAL oriented post rock album entitled "after the darkness, there's a next". Here's a sample:But everything else by them seems to be primarily instrumental. Another band I have opened myself to lately a lot is Early Day Miners (Arguably my new favorite band because of their tremendous output).Sample:I absolutely LOVE the two albums I have by Raised by swans. Absolutely brilliant, emotional stuff on both albums. Very atmospheric. And another excellent band all around is Vessels. I prefer this particular album though (White fields and open devices) Because it seems to be at least HALF Vocal oriented. Which is a shame because their vocalist is very nice sounding. Sample:So anyway, I really love these bands at their vocal best. Please recommend me similar bands or other vocally oriented post rock (male or female vocals). Thanks.
Not really a huge fan of the vocals listed in your band selection, but the instrumentation is fantastic. I really like that SEPTEMBER MANEVOLENCE track, in spite of the vocals. Anyway, to answer your question I think that PORCUPINE TREE's LIGHTBULB SUN album in particular is something you would enjoy. I know they are not POST ROCK, but that album offers up a very similar sound that you love so much. Another album would be THE CURE's DISENTIGRATION and BLOODFLOWERS album(s). These are terrific albums that have strong instrumentals with powerful emotional vocals. Happy listening my friend. Also. Somebody mentioned SIGOR ROS. I think that is an accurate recommendation as well. :)

They are nothing like the originals. At all. It's much more minimal than WHBWH and WS, there is much less structure, and it's more ambient. But absolutely gorgeous. I have the vinyl of it, the quality makes it even better.

The latest two (We're Here Because We're Here and Weather Systems) are both incredibly 'atmospheric'. Anathema's almost inventing a new genre (again). Falling Deeper was an orchestral reinterpretation of their death/doom stuff, with new vocals from Lee in there too.
All three are 5 star albums for me. Simple songs brought to life by absolutely stunning production and orchestration. Shows how enough strings can make anything beautiful.
I'm going to say Anathema's "Falling Deeper" album. Not really post-rock, but some really atmospheric stuff and some lovely vocals in there. Like Sigur Ros, great stuff to just 'immerse yourself in' so to speak.

Actually. The new DEAD CAN DANCE album would be a good choice. ANASTASIS has hypnotizing/paralyzingly strong vocals from GERRARD AND PERRY. the music is more on the ART ROCK side, but a great listen for sure.
