BO05 - Silence Kit

Pieonear. If I was absolutely forced to pick one album as the best of '05 this would have to be it (though technically it came out in '04.). i don't really know how to describe it - i guess post-rock wouldn't be far of but then it is more ambient in places and in others sort of radiohead kind of groovy. one of the very few albums this year where i would simply have to put whatever i was doing at the time and just listen. perhaps not enterily consistent in its greatness but there are moments here that are just amazing. oh, and these guys are from russia so don't confuse them with the u.s. band that shares their name.
