For such a pioneering post-rock band that blends the standard instrumentation of rock with the textures, time signatures, and improvisational leanings of multiple genres, it's no surprise Tortoise cite a wildly eclectic mix of artists as influences. All prime movers in their respective genres, their picks for this playlist include Kraftwerk's electronica, DJ Shadow's hip-hop, Fela Kuti's Afrobeat, Miles Davis' jazz, and Aphex Twin's experimental beats.
