i found this when i was looking up the space program thingy ma jibber... this is cool

[DuhQuanNigstix]

Great sound... great band!

[ayocisc0]

Thanks Pandora!

[DuhQuanNigstix]

@ayocisc0 No doubt. Without Pandora or Rhapsody the world wouldn't be exposed to these fantastic underground bands. I never listen to the radio anymore, because it's the same stuff over-and-over again. There are hundreds of thousands of really talented bands out there, who live in obscurity until we reach out and find them. I found these guys through Pandora and totally dig their sound.

[MichiVarela]

It's a shame how these guys haven't been getting all the credit they deserve. I know it's quite a lot to be said, but I belive theirs is some of the best instrumental music out there, over many of the last albums from the biggest post-rock/instrumentalish bands (i.e. Mogwai's 'The Hawk is Howling'). Their rhythmics can't be compared to any others.

@MichiVarela

Have you seen them live?

[MichiVarela]

@Aerotides Unfortunately not! I think my comment was a bit fueled by how awesome Chez Viking is haha. But I still think Dave Lebleu and all the others are awesome!

[antiemo666777]

TMP-ia that dave on the vibes in the beginning?

[tylerpgilbert]

@antiemo666777 ya

[Aerotides]

@antiemo666777

Yes indeed

[JemminyJangles]

it seams like the guitar takes the fall. like its a lil more laid back so the bass can get right up in there and be healthy.

[JSS0986]

I really wish they would have never started adding lyrics to their music. This my friends is Jazz. Smooth, Laid back symphonic poetry. If you digg this, check out Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "Oh by the way"

[textualmusic]

@JSS0986 - not sure what you mean.. MP became instrumental in 2001 after using vocals briefly from 97-00

[JSS0986]

@textualmusic Your right I just looked up vapors, I thought it came after data. So let me begin again, im really glas they stopped putting lyrics in their music haha

[ARDrumr]

i wish they would come to chicago

[Married2musiC]

[smokingclowndog]

@Thatch4244 obvious troll is obvious

[FruscianteLennon311]

very awesome!

[MichiVarela]

The vibraphone man, the bassist and the drummer are real beasts. It's a pity the guitars aren't a bit more powerful. Not bad at all, though.

[locustmunch]

In this song, maybe. Have you heard "the Secret to Quiet?"

[joyboy1985]

perfect

[Gehlhaus1]

Amazing footage.

Hope to see them one day.

[eduardopipo]

Love Love Post Rock rules

[lesstheproduct]

Amazing, i really they find time to produce new material, two latest songs on their myspace are brilliant.

Such an influential band, it's beautiful, the drumming is outstanding such a good understanding of the music.
