The Post Rock Years: INTROSPECTIVE
INTROSPECTIVE (Adam Garriga, Spain, 2006, 65 mins) This music documentary explores ‘post-rock’, the term coined by the influential Wire magazine to describe a diverse set of groundbreaking artists who emerged in the 1990s. Featuring great live footage, filmed over a number of years at the Sonar and Primeavera music festivals in Spain, of bands like Mogwai, Tortoise, Low and Mouse on Mars, and interviews with underground music icons like Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, Ira Kaplan of Yo la Tengo and Jason Pierce of Spiritualized, INTROSPECTIVE creates a fascinating overview of alternative music in the last 20 years.

Various - All Tomorrow's Parties 1.0 (2001) (@256)

This post is about the best rockumentary I've seen in 2009, which was about the festival All Tomorrow's Parties. It's a film that was released by Warp X (a subsidiary of Warp for which there is an ongoing tribute) and gives an insightful look at a festival that always brings us the cutting edge of today's music.
So, this post's upload is a release that deals with some the groups of the bill of 2001's ATP, which was curated by Tortoise and Foundation.
