anyone into 2nd-wave postrock?

[Manny]

Post-rock is a well-established term. There is a page on wikipedia. It  
defines both waves of music that are covered by this term. And it's not  
the first musical term to contain the prefix 'post'. The term  
'postpunk' has been used for 25 years and nobody has a problem with it  
(see the Joy Division movie 'Control' for a crowning aesthetic  
definition). post-war
20th century experimental music also has its own category (as proven by  
music school texts such as 'Music Since 1945').

Anyway I didn't ask what anyone thought of the term. One might as well  
say what does the term 'goth' have to do with either a Germanic tribe  
or a form of European architecture. Not very much.

I asked what people thought of the music, and how it might fit into the  
current idea of a dark music aesthetic.
That's all. There seems to be no reason to respond unless 1) you've  
heard the music or 2) the idea of this newer stuff intrigues you, and  
you might like to hear it, because it's similar to things you've heard  
in the past.
