Pokey -
Quite a bit of overlap in our listening preferences.
I just ordered Blue Screen Life & Information Retrieved
Re SOTL...I own "...and Their Refinement of the Decline" and will order Avec Laudenum soon. The Tired Sounds" and "Music for Nitrous Oxide" can be heard as full recordings on YouTube.
I messed up the spelling, that should have been The Kahanek Incident. YouTube link here:

Did try out Prefuse but it was way too dissonant for me.
Stumbled on Younger Brother as a result of an earlier post about a Zero -1 sampler. Check out The Last Days of Gravity. Also, if you don't already know him, see if you can find anything by Edgar Varese. He's an American classical ("aleatory") composer...had an LP of short compositions years ago that I did enjoy though I can't really abide John Cage.
W/respect to post-rock (kindred to Explosions in the Sky) try Russian Circles and Mono (Japanese outfit). Recent YouTube discoveries for me though I can't honestly say I enjoy them tremendously.
I'm somewhat familiar with Leaf. Try Tycho's Past is Prologue or Dive.
I do like some alt country. Have most of Wilco's (think their stuff is well-recorded) and one by Son Volt. Jeff Tweedy can get a little "precious" or otherwise annoying at times. Have a high regard for Lucinda Williams.
Well, that's quite the music download. Hopefully not too tedious to you.
