Taijin Kyofusho - The Evpatoria Report
Cassandra Gemini - The Mars Volta
Way Out Of Here - Porcupine Tree
Manifold Curiosity - Kayo Dot
Volume One - Perhaps
Flairs - Pretend
She Loves Us - Swans
Lost - Van der Graaf Generator

Excerpt from 6,000,000,000,000 Miles Before the First, or, the Revisitation of the Blue Ghost - Maudlin of the Well

Pretty much outlines my tastes perfectly.
Preference to more modern music. My love for Post-Rock/Math-Rock, and typically the mixing of emotion and heaviness.
