Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It's been some time since Billy Mahonie attempted to reinvest the dry complexities of instrumental post-rock with some old-fashioned rock power on 1999's acclaimed debut The Big Dig. Since then, the British quartet have turned heavier, sharper--looking back to the age when rock monsters such as Black Sabbath and Zeppelin roamed the earth, along with their beloved Slint and Rodan records. The result is a multifaceted, maverick record that never loses sight of a basic need to entertain. Opening track "Fishing with a Man for a Shark" boasts a riff worthy of Rainbow, "Nacho Steals From Work" keeps the pace going at a blistering speed, but later tracks such as "False Calm" (a simple solo acoustic folk guitar) and the shimmering, laidback "Lothe" reveal a surprisingly sensitive side. Post-rock can occasionally sound dull to the untrained ear--an accusation one could never level at Billy Mahonie. --Everett True

Description
'What Becomes Before' is the second album from post rock outfit Billy Mahonie. With influences from Miles Davis to The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the Billy Mahonie sound is as diverse, combining rock guitars with jazz style instrumentations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless..., 13 Mar 2008
I couldn't live without this album and The Big Dig.
As most my friends know and band people I know...im the biggest Billy Mahonie junkie.

The best prog, post punk, post rock, indie whatever group from UK. EVER.

I don't want to go into too much depth, I would be here for days. Just get this album and go sit on a train and listen to this from A to B. Then from B to A.

Timeless.
