If its post rock your after, then apart from Godspeed, who are lovely, try 
Magnog: a nice combination of guitar strumming, droning, quiet singing, and 
spaced out electric guitar noises. Windy and Carl, who do quiet humming 
noises are good as well, and they're all on a Kranky sampler CD (if its still 
available).
The Sea and the Cake are good, and they're an offshoot of Tortoise.
Rothko are as much fun as you can have with three bass players and nothing 
else. They do low frequency soundscapes that are occasionally electrifying, 
but don't always get going.
Finally, I've said it before and I'll probably say it again MOGWAI ARE 
SUPERB. Buy come on die young AND young team AND kicking a dead pig (remix 
album: a tenuous link with idm) AND ten rapid NOW. Sell your house if you 
have to.
Sorry about that.
