I'm with you although I still listen to Neon Golden occasionally.

It's still diverse enough in sound and approach to still be worthwhile for me.

The Postal Service, while I liked it's sugary pop hooks at the time, just kind of grates on me now. Inoffensive music that's currently being played softly over the speakers at your local Whole Foods.

Good match-up between similarly styled records.

I'm going with Postal Service. I listened to it a lot the first year it was out and recently heard it again. I haven't listened to Neon Golden in 6 years.

This, though now I'm going to find Neon Gold and give it a listen. Eventually.

Notwist, have never really been much of a fan of either Dntel or Ben Gibbard, and combined they did nothing for me.

I never cared too much for Postal Service or Gibbard in particular, but this album is alright and has its uses.

Voted Notwist although I haven't listened to it in a really long time.

I like both records, but went Notwist because I do like it slightly more. They're both a bit sad sack sorta records, but the Notwist songs sound to my ears a little more like maybe the guy's got a good reason. Still like Postal Service though.

Yeah. Neon Golden has not even come to my mind in years.
