That second track was fantastic, more like that?

[Eli Sanders]

I'm looking for more j-emo/math and post-rock, really like toe's first album but I prefer their minimalist aspect moreso than the prog aspect. Does anyone know more of this stuff that's on the minimalist side?

The first song has someone just banging on a single note for like 10 seconds for half of the song. The second song is the James Bond theme. I like it.

[Owen Johnson]

Sounds like the theme song from some cute Nintendo game.

Here's some stuff I like

>eastern youth:Used to be pretty big on the skinhead scene on Japan during their early years,they abandoned that whole image later on.My personal recomendation is their album 地球の裏から風が吹く from 2007

youtube.com/watch?v=adl9WR5aIOI

>Number Girl:All the influential bands that helped shape the alternative music on the US during the late 80s inside a japanese blender.Their album School Girl Distortional Addict is a good place to start but don't ignore their other stuff (including the compilations)

youtube.com/watch?v=WUYACnZNkvM

>Flipper's Guitar:They sound a bit like a mix of The Stone Roses and Primal Scream,personally I like this band much more.They were one of the main acts on the Shibuya-kei scene.Gotta love the God Only Knows sample on their last album.

youtube.com/watch?v=8kQbPVjYMu0

>神聖かまってちゃん (Shinsei Kamattechan):Shoegaze vibes on the synths and keys mostly,pitch-shifting and delay on vocals,lots of digital manipulation and probably one of the most unique bands out there.Sadly they seemed to peak on their first album but great stuff still.

youtube.com/watch?v=FcZOnrL9VKM

>Coaltar of the Deepers:Shoegaze and Death Metal are the best way to describe them.I wish I had more to say but I only heard one of their albums.

[Joseph Rogers]

Oops, put the last one twice.

[Robert Cruz]

heres some stuff, tried to avoid the popular memes

Té - instrumental post/math rock
youtube.com/watch?v=CJnolgtt62M

Envy - post-rock / screamo / post-hardcore
youtube.com/watch?v=4QkyDQ5hdj4

Itsue - shoegaze, female vocals
youtube.com/watch?v=lT5EAvk2Zco

Kamomekamome - hardcore, also probably my favorite jap vocalist.
youtube.com/watch?v=3IJVCO_tubY

jizue - jap nu-jazz
youtube.com/watch?v=r6QhdhrgvvY

X-japan - visual kei / 80s glam / power metal , "the last live" is better then most cd releases imo.

Any Japanese industrial? Looking for stuff that doesn't sound like GPKISM or Velvet Eden which are more Darkwave.

More like this, even if its EBM.

I saw them live in Buenos Aires, was the last exciting rock show I went (2015 I think). Might be the greatest ever post-rock band. Very contemplative, melodic and high on emotions, with a bigger-than-the-sky sound and dynamics. Plus, the drummer is excellent. Until him I did never realized how important the cymbals are in post-rock. Playing live he's much groovier than in the albums, a thing I'd never expect.

The albums recorded by Steve Albini are surely their peak and I'd say
>1. You are there
>2. Hymn to the Immortal Wind
>3. Walking Cloud...
Then, For My Parents and Gone are good. I found the two last one a little tiring on the formula though

Yeah, I've known him from Tetsou. I haven't heard his music outside of films though.

Finding industrial music from Japan isn't easy.
I like how this sounds except for the vocals.

[Leo Murphy]

good shit, always preferred this album

[Camden Perry]

The gig was at Niceto, it was crowded. Sadly, there were a lot of posh photographers on the best spots, along with otaku metalheads and a whole assortment of tight-ass weeboos, all of them bolted to the floor.

It was a shame, because the band was on fire that night, with a solid and balanced setlist, and things got groovy enough if not to dance, to "organically move" a little

[William Nelson]

bumping toe, but im more into the prog aspect personally

[Jack Miller]

Yeah there is an endless list of noise industrial, but there aren't that many industrial music acts.
I just remembered Aural Vampire and Suppurate System. But I wish there were more pure industrial artists like Ishikawa.

[Julian Adams]

did you go to see acid mothers temple too?
I guess I'm not surprised about the posh and the weebs. What age demographic by the way? Were there any people above 30?
Any japanese people?

Man, you're not kidding. I like it but seriously, The Quizmaster is like a straight up mashup of Loaded and the 7" version of Come Together. Even uses the same gospel backing lyric.
