  • Long heralded as the poster band for post-rock, Tortoise took a daunting array of influence and crafted a unique sound that astonishingly avoids any sense of pastiche. All of Tortoise's founding members come from punk and indie rock scenes, but by fusing together their love of '70s German psych, electric jazz, minimal composition, dub, progressive rock, hip-hop, avant-garde electronics, film music and traditional American music, the band deftly crafts a sound that is hugely unique and instantly recognizable.
    Doug McCombs and John Herndon opened up their shopping bags recently at Amoeba Hollywood!
    Check out their picks:
    Earthless - Live at Roadburn (LP)
    Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold as Love (LP) bit.ly/2sBGs9J
    John Lee Hooker - Travelin' (LP)
    Skream - The Shinein / Backwards (12")
    Madlib - Remixes 2 (LP)
    Plasmatics - Beyond The Valley Of 1984 (CD) bit.ly/2LQf0xx

    You'll love the album. "Gigantes" is the best track off of it, IMO. Check it out. I've been a fan since 1996 and my favorite album of theirs is TNT.
