I'm not sure how I came across this one, but Directions in Music was a one-off album from three guys in the Chicago post-rock crowd, done in 1996. They got together just long enough to make an album of eight instrumental, untitled tracks. Imagine a post-rock impromptu jam session after hours at the Grand Ole Opry, and you'd be close...and perhaps disappointed. Much of the album sounded like a less interesting version of Gastr del Sol's Camofleur, or early Tortoise, which makes sense given the people involved. Overall, a nonchalant pass.
Here's Directions in Music
Compare that with Gastr Del Sol's "Black Horse"
