For the benefit of Flyingpurplepeopleeater I thought I would resurrect this thread. OK, it's just a shameless plug for my favourite band, but hey...
Here is the answer I gave our friend Eppers some while back when he asked about SOTL. Hope it gives you a start:
Just saw your question about SOTL. You can't really go wrong - all their work is astounding. My favourite album is probably "The Tired Sounds..." but "Refinement of the Decline", "Avec Laudenum", "Ballasted Orchestra"..they are all amazing.... how about the following playlist:
* Mullholland
* Apreludes in C#Major
* Requiem For Dying Mothers (Part 1 and 2)
* Central Texas
* The Atomium (Parts 1, 2 and 3)
* December Hunting For Vegetarian Fuckface
* Tapehiss Makes Me Happy
