Anathema - We're Here Because We're Here
Riverside - parts of everything; all of Memories In My Head

also
Camel - lots of stuff
Pink Floyd - Meddle through Wish You Were Here
Katatonia - Night is the New Day
Porcupine Tree - lots

What else?
Don't ask me to explain what I mean.  I can only explain by these examples!

Would you accept full-blown electronic instrumental stuff?

I'm so mad that you enjoy a certain combination of noises that I don't

Not exactly what I was thinking of, but sure why not.  You mean like Phaedra and Rubycon perhaps?  Definitely atmospheric.  Dunno about the Rock part.  Smile

The thing is that I doubt the OP is looking for atmosphere in the black metal sense of the word...

Isis was a good mention, so was Radiohead. You'd like Gazpacho, Amplifier, Abigal's Ghost, and maybe Oceansize. You might also like some psytrance/psybient. Not prog really, but check out Shpongle and Carbon Based Lifeforms. Early Porcupine Tree was influenced by that stuff.

I hadn't even considered post-rock/post-metal.  Those genres are atmospheric almost by definition.  I already have stuff by Isis, EITS (saw them in concert a few days ago!), GYBE, TWDY, Pelican and Sigur Ros.  Also Ozrics (not post-rock) and one Devin Townsend (not atmospheric, though!).  And Portishead.  And one Bjork.

Thanks for the suggestions, in any case!!

I got the latest Oceansize recently.  Only listened to it a few times, but I am not yet a fan.  Is this a typical sound for them?
