also check out labradford, pan american (one haf of labradford), mouse
parade (someone from the dylan group), slint and if you live in the uk, well
if you live anywhere, forth quartet. the last two are a bit closer to
"normal" rock. but i wouldn't call them rock. forth quartet make minimal
guitar tracks, with so much space and lihgt in them, they are beautiful, the
songs are amazing, i reccomend the debut lp, "they built ships that sank".
errm, email: xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or visit www.heaventsentrecords.com
or amybe it's co.uk can't remember. anyway, truewly wonderful. and you can
hear soundclips at the web site.

post rock and idm go hand in hand if you ask me. they are both beautiful and
compliment each other marvellously. the fatcat retrospective, accross uneven
terrain, is the perfect example of this, it's got idm, noise, soundscapes,
post rock and even some live hip hop on there. i wouldn't consider this "OT"
bt if it has offended your idm sensibilities, then please take my apologies.
