Difficult to describe their music as the numerous changes in the line up reflect on the records. They are often described as post rock, but spacey elements more similar to what EAR do are also present on their music too. Anyway, if you don't know them ''Sirenes'' is a good album to start with.

I remember them from the days when 'post-rock' was a term interchangable with (and less popular than) 'space-rock', all those early-to-mid-90s bands that followed in the wake of Spacemen 3.
I got confused between Amp, A.M.P. 30 Amp fuse and the Amps, all of whom were active in a similar field at the same time.
I've just fished out a transparent blue vinyl 12" that I like and it turns out I'm thinking of A.M.P., who I haven't listened to this century and are pretty darn good.
