If your a fan of Mineral, early JEW, and The Gloria Record... I'd go chronologically. Otherwise, Two Conversations is really solid. LLO #2 is one of my favorite ambient albums.

I've never heard of Mineral, JEW, or The Gloria Record so I'll definitely check them out. I think I'll start out with The Appleseed Cast's less emo stuff. I wish a could run a search on their songs and just search for songs with 'fuzz guitar' and then I would just buy those!

Yea, their early stuff is definately more "emo," but it doesn't fall within the typical modern terms of emo. IMO.

Here's some good rockin' ones:
Peregrine has alot of cool tones on it (Woodland Hunter (part 1&2), Here We Are, An Orange and a Blue).
Sinking
Fight Song
View of a Burning City (LLOv2 and long version on LLO1)
Rooms and Gardens (LLO2)
On Reflection (LLO1)

None of their stuff is BRUTAL, but just really nice shoegazey type of drive sounds.

Awesome! Thanks for the list. After quickly going through the previews on iTunes I think I'll buy Peregrine first and if I enjoy that I'll follow it up with LLO1 and LLO2.

its actually a big muff, the green ones, all sustain and the tone pulled out into a rat with the tone up full, both maxed out through a vox ac 30..with chris's jaguar hybrid...Im pretty sure we had a danelectro echo pedal on there as a slap back delay too...the amp was turned up super loud...we were at Pachyderm studios outside of minneapolis...its was like watching chris riding a wild horse because he could barely hang on to how much volume and feedback was pouring outta that thing..it was sweet....

Holey moley... did Aaron Pillar just post here?

I think Peregrine is a good place to start because to me it has a little of everything... you get some melodic songs, some heavier songs, and some nice instrumental songs. If you end up liking the more experimental stuff, you can go for LLO or Sagarmatha and if you end up liking the more straight forward stuff, you can go for Two Conversations or Mare Vitalis. Or if you're like me and dig all of it, you can just get everything.

AWESOME!

Does NewarkWilder still show up around here? I seem to remember him being really into Appleseed Cast at one point.

That is awesome! Thank you for finding this post and actually replying to it! Hate to bug you but was anything done to the drums also towards the end of the song there? They sound REALLY nice!

Cool. Thanks for the info again. The Cathedral is on my wish list. I think several forum members have one but I'm not sure who.

Cathedral looks really cool. I LOVE my miniRRR right now. I'm wanting a Strymon dtape delay, BAAAAAAD though.

Really wish I wouldn't have missed you guys in Denton some months ago.

Too cool that you found this and posted! The cathedral is a great pedal. Our other guitar player has one and we don't let him turn it off (not that he ever wants to).
