Genesis, Yes...no. Other than possibly that one part in that one song type of thing. There is 70s influences in post rock like Krautrock, post-punk, fusion, dub, etc. but like some "psychedelic" bands in the 60s who became more adventurous and ended up being "progressive rock," some "alternative" bands in the 90s became more adventurous and ended up being "post rock." So it was like a new form of "prog" that had little relation to the old kind. Having said all that, one of my favourite PR bands Magyar Posse from Finland may be your cup of tea. Unfortunately most of their stuff is out-of-print

Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die
THE ultimate distillation of 70s krautrock and prog-fusion into a mindblowing new trip for the 90s and beyond into eternity!!! without this album, i would never have discovered 70s prog sounds, seriously........ |

Maybe you can try the german band Frames. Their music is a mix between post-rock and instrumental progressive rock.  |

Wow! I just finished listening to this album and it was phenomenal! Thank you for posting!  I had heard about Tortoise through some of the other members on this site. They must have been a big influence on Post Rock and Math Rock. Of course in Post Rock it's hard to find bands that have the same musicianship, compositional skills and overall sound as the 70's bands did, due to the nature of the music. Post Rock is really completely different from other sub-genres, but that Tortoise album was pretty damn close to what I was searching for. Thanks again, I'm going to listen to it once more.My favourite tracks: Djed, The Glass Museum and Along The Banks Of Rivers -------------

| There isn't much "classic prog" influence in post rock, but there is plenty of kraut/avant. Try Tortoise, .O.Rang, Trans Am, Ganger, Cul de Sac, Pele, the Do Make Say Think debut. |

Honestly, it's roots draw back to punk rock so you won't find any of it with true 70's prog rock influence.

That was a brilliant suggestion Darryl, it really fits the request. The first half sounds like it could come from Opeth's Heritage. This track by Jovenabuelo has a nice mellotron / organ sound that reminds me a lot of '70s classic, pastoral prog: http://jovenabuelo.bandcamp.com/track/ni-o-sol" rel="nofollow - http://jovenabuelo.bandcamp.com/track/ni-o-sol |

I'll try out The Samuel Jackson Five. I've known Maps And Atlases for a while because I had heard one of their songs on some indie radio station a few years back. Also, I'm a big Smashing Pumpkins fan and their current drummer, Mike Byrne, is a big fan of the band. The frantic and intricate guitar style is very cool. Unique approach to playing as well with the finger tapping, most likely influenced by Ian Williams of Don Cab and Battles. The vocals are a bit of a turn off, in my opinion. I'll definitely look into some of their albums as well. I find that Math Rock is very much more influenced by Prog and the 70's classic, rather than Post Rock. -------------

Whoah, that's brilliant. I found 3 of the 4 tracks on Grooveshark. This stuff is not even on PA. You shouldn't keep such gems to yourself, how about sharing http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74773" rel="nofollow - here with the genre afficionados? |

There are plenty of post-metal groups that have 70s influence. I think that's because most post metal happened by taking post-rock plus prog-metal.
