Looking for the masterpieces of rock composition like Church

Check out Don Caballero. Also, if you're accepting even heavier music I would say the Behold... the Arctopus song Canada is great.

>Has the right King Crimson, The Books, and Macha
>Remembers how perfect Murmuure is
>Has the wrong Henry Cow

RIO comes close to what Church Gone Wild does, but still winds up feeling lacking.

Don Cab's okay, but doesn't really feel like the same level of detail went in it. And I'd rather listen to Yowie or Luttenbachers than Behold...

I wished I liked more prog

Here's another work I'd put up there with it

I agree with all of it except murmuure, which is a meme that is ruining black metal, and isn't even a good piece of black metal.
Atmoshit is incredibly low effort and every single project that makes it just apes Burzum or the ten thousand other atmoshit bands' style (Paysage D'hiver, depressive silence, the list could honestly go on).
It's just recorded digitally, that's murmuure's entire gimmick is that the recording is shit, but it's not shit in the way you expected it to be.
And I swear I heard some fucking major in there on "Amethyst."
Even fucking SUN BAT HER is better than murmuure since it has some semblance of originality.

Between the Buttons is garbage compared to Aftermath and the mick taylor era albums

Murmuure is so good man.
>And I swear I heard some fucking major in there on "Amethyst."
what are you saying here?

>>73114839
I'm pretty sure some of the synths on "Amethyst" (the song from murmuure - s/t) were being played in a major key.
You don't just fucking DO that in black metal.
The synths on that album in general aren't very impressive.
It's literally a generic atmoblack release that got hyped for no discernible reason, it doesn't even have a single memorable riff (which is partially due to the nature of the recording and the fact that it is atmoblack, but even Les Legions Noir releases or several debut cassette demos I've heard have had more memorable riffs with considerably worse production)

Murmuure seems more industrial than black metal to me.
>generic atmoblack
more like it then please? Quelfi is the closest but it felt so much weaker. I don't care about riffs really.

>>73114939
Filosofem or any of Burzum's albums really, except his last 3.
I admitted it has one unique trait, which is its use of shitty digital recording as opposed to shitty analog recording on tape used by most black metal bands.
But in terms of composition I have heard several european black metal bands using similar styles of synth as the lead instrument with blown out guitar in the back.
It does have some unique elements to its composition too, namely how stitched together it is with the clips of guitar, samples, programmed drums, and bad on purpose vocal mixing that every hipster black metal band employs (mind you, that's not necessarily a dig, it's just an observation)
I guess I'm basically saying I don't get the hype, and it barely even qualifies as black metal so hearing people herald it as one of the best black metal albums in recent years seems disingenuous.
To be perfectly honest I don't listen to that much atmoblack because almost all of it sound the same, just with marginally different production, but this just sounds like more Burzum worship to me, except it's digital.
Also I don't see how you would think it was industrial.
