Reggae/post-rock, hehe.

Here are some snippits from the full band jam last Tuesday. We tried something with perhaps a bit of a reggae sound or something, mixed with our usual post rockish sound - post reggae? I think it worked really well.

In this recording:

Luke - guitar

Ash - bass

Dirado - organ/piano

Sam - portasound

Me - drums

Near the beginning. Note the awesome synchronisation between me and Ash, yeah!

Middle section, nice little breakdown and some great solos from Luke and Dirado.

End section. I didn't notice at the time, but Dirado and Luke were having a bit of a 'back and forth' style jam in places.

As for the previous track posted, these are really rough (especially my drumming, hehe), and there is a lot of clipping in places. But they turned out well enough for me to seriously consider incorporating reggae elements into our songs.

Love it. Reminds me of a darker version of the Monkey Island tunes

nice listen but what reggae elements are you talking about?

This is rill good. You should record me some breaks.

you seriously can't hear them?

Basically sounds like a lesser form of DeFacto (Mars Volta's dub projecT)

too little to call it post-reggae or reggae/anything, really. no reggae drums, no reggae guitar, which are the 2 most important things in reggae imo. the bass at times sounds a bit like reggae. that's about it.

thanks for listening everyone!

i dunno what to call it really, perhaps i should've got the keyboard player to do some offbeat stuff but we all thought it sounded kinda reggae/dubby or something? i think in the final version i'll put a bit of dub delay on the snare every now and then, hehe.

I'm not really a fan of anything reggae-ish... but I was curous and gave it a listen anyway. So It's not really my thing, but I can say that you guys play VERY well together... you're pretty tight... good work!

pretty good for being all improvised.

i definitely see the connection between

reggae and post-rock, the post-reggae.
