Album Summary

One Time for All Time is the second studio album by the instrumental post-rock band 65daysofstatic, released on October 24, 2005 on Monotreme. "Radio Protector" was released as a 7" single in February 2006 on Monotreme Records. The band have stated on their website that this will be the only single release from the album. 65daysofstatic (often abbreviated as 65dos, 65days, or simply 65) are a post-rock band from Sheffield, England. Formed in 2001, the band is composed of instrumentalists Paul Wolinski, Joe Shrewsbury, Rob Jones and Simon Wright. The band's music has been described as noisy, electronic, guitar-driven instrumentals, interspersed with live drums and off-beat sampled drums akin to those of IDM artists, although they have continued to evolve their sound by incorporating electronic music, drum and bass and glitch music. They have been described as, "a soundtrack to a new dimension, where rock, dance and electronica are equals."

Await Rescue is insanely good, but the rest of the album doesen't really hold up

Listened to these guys' work before and enjoyed their contribution to the 'No Man's Sky' soundtrack. The band's unique take on strong ambient melodies combined with breakbeat is a bit more suited to atmospheric use than direct listening, but it's still wholly unique among other albums on this list and a nice taste of something different.

Okay, this sort of unnerving post-rock is not something I have come across before, so thanks for the pick! It's interesting, but ultimately a very draining listening experience. Will probably revisit though.

This totally gave me some Toe feelings (which I really like), and I'm amazed by them. I usually don't like instrumental music primarily based on electric guitars (which is why I typically dislike shoegaze), however, this one is pretty impressive. Easy 5-star album (or should I say 65 stars?)

Await Rescue is fucking radical! 23kid is also very good. Climbing on Roofs (desperate edit) another absolute cracking track! What an absolutely killer album!

I’m a huge fan of post rock, so of course this was everything I could want in an album - 10/10

I listen to more of this style music thanks to the 1001 albums project. The project has really expanded my musical tastes. The first couple times I listened to the album, I really didn't pay much attention to it but, it is really growing on me. It album will only get better the more I listen to it. I like it and I am grateful to the submitter for sharing it. Standout: Await Rescue. Not ready to call it great, but it is a solid 4/5

This album was cool. I don't always have a lot to say about noise/post-rock albums, but this one clicked for me. It's reasonably melodic, and it has a great feel to it, lots of energy 4/5

Moody, interesting… seems like these guys would make some pretty good soundtracks.

One Time for All Time is the second album of 65daysofstatic. It is a solid post-rock album with layered guitar sounds that compose a atmosphere filled with distortion and slow changes of pace and melody.

Rawkus, energetic, and dark. Pretty moody instrumentals maintained engagement.

Yeah, 65daysofstatic are probably a very underrated act, and it's a good idea to shed light on their idiosyncratic mix of Mogwai-like post-rock and Warp Record-adjacent electronic shenanigans, both pulled out very well and seamlessly mingled throughout this record. The production values and sonic treatments are not stellar on this second album (the drums and synths sound quite paper-thin, for instance), but it would be unfair to blame that on the band, who probably did the best they could with the budget they had for their time in the studio. And it doesn't really matter anyway: the music is always dynamic and interesting enough to make up for those shortcomings. Probably the best LP from their early career. About said career, I have quickly browsed through the band's later albums, and after a time period in the early 2010s where they didn't really seem to know how to take their distinctive mix up to the next level for their subsequent LPs (plus a couple of soundtracks for an old film, or maybe a video game), it appears that 65daysofstatic have ultimately favored the electronic part of their sound, to crisp and effective results. Their current music is very dark and moody, they don't always release a ton of physical copies of it, but it's awesome overall. No issues with production values here, they sound pitch-perfect to my ears. Check out album *replicr, 2019* and also a deep cut named "Górecki" -- most probably a tribute to the recently deceased Polish composer -- in another release. 65daysofstatic have gone a little niche in the recent years, but I think the outcome is great, and those later recordings also deserve to be mentioned here. 3.5/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums. 8.5/10 for more general purposes: 4.5/5 for the musicianship and the production values + 4/5 for the artistry Number of albums from the original list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 465 Albums from the original list I *might* include in mine later on: 288 Albums from the original list I won't include in mine: 336 ----- Number of albums from the users list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 48 Albums from the users list I *might* select for mine later on: 62 (including this one) Albums from the users list I won't select for mine: 112 --- Hey, Émile.

Post-rock. Instrumental. La última canción me ha gustado bastante, así que lo subo del 3 al 4.

I thought this was pretty dang enjoyable jams as I listened. Found out these fine folks did the soundtrack to No Man's Sky which is cool and gets a bump from me.

The album where they got really good. It's as if Aphex Twin were noisy punks. A little more controlled and focused than their earlier work and a little less electronic and cinematic as their later work. Really good pick to showcase the band.

Post- Rock asks: what if Ambient wasn't chill? I liked quite a bit of this actually, but found some of it grating.

I can see how people enjoy this but to me it just seems like instrumental hard rock with some electronic sounds added as well. It’s not as brutally noisy as some post rock albums are as this one gas some nuances and subtleties that give it more depth overall as an album. Not one of revisit but it’s not all bad. 5.0/10

Nope. Didn’t need to listen to that. I’ll take another Godspeed You! Black Emperor album before more of that.
