Okay folks, last post of the day, and a musical one at that. From the second album by Tortoise here is the full length Djed.

Very Krautrock in flavour, but very much their own sound. Wire magazibe called this music post rock or math rock , go figure?

Here is a live thirty minutes of them in concert circa 2004 with a more systems music and jazz feel.

i

Enjoy LOUDLY!

...math rock? LOL

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

Math rock is a rhythmically complex, often guitar-based, style of experimental rock and indie rock music that emerged in the late 1980s, influenced by progressive rock bands like King Crimson and 20th century minimalist composers such as Steve Reich.

So an offshoot of prog rock, or am I still off?

In a way you can say it is an extention of prog rock.

Music with time signatures that look like fractions that take at least three decimal places.
