I'm sure a billion people have responded to this, but think of tortoise as a 
mix between "rock", "new age", "electronica", "math rock", "low-tec electro", 
"techno", "jazz" and the occasional off the wall influences like "spagehti 
western". Stimulating sounds from Chicago's Thrill Jockey Records, Tortoise's 
music is relaxing and interesting.

Vocals? nyet
idm? nyet
worth checking out? definetly

and while you're at it, you might want to check out Isotope 217 which 
contains members of Tortoise
