"Some post-rock artists explicitly and consciously sought to deconstruct rock music; others realised they'd done it after the event; yet more didn't give the process a moment’s thought. A lot of this deconstruction was made possible through the advent of the sampler, ushering in a new genre-bending mindset. Most of the post-rock bands used samplers in some form, but even the ones who didn't were influenced by sampling's possibilities for simultaneous structure and chaos."
