yeah,"those who tell the truth..." is their best i think. not only are their songs amazing, but the production is really good too and can be appreciated with the intimacy of headphones.

Spiderland is a given for post-rock but i always thought Talk Talks influence on post-rock was exaggerated. people just say that cause they see them on allmusic that they're post rock. they seem too rooted in that 80's new wave sound. if you read interviews with most post-rock bands nowadays not many of them list Talk Talk as an influence.
but yeah also check out Brian Mcmahon of Slints other band The For Carnation. really really minimal dark sleepytime music with whispered vocals.

plenty of artists have named Spirit of Eden as influential, and there's no denying that the sounds and structures of bands like GYBE and Tortoise are directly reflective of that album.

Slint was a different type of band... but then again, the very existence of "post-rock" as a genre is something almost universally rejected by the artists themselves who are categorized as post-rock.

Looks to me that no-one on that site really likes post-rock at all . Whichever thread about a band I read, I saw pages and pages of rants about how they're boring and not really post-rock and worse than that other band.

Edit: Sorry for the thread necro, I didn't even realize this was from 2007.

A few have recommended Mogwai. If that is to your liking, then you could check out Kiwi band "Jakob". They do the sonic soundscape thing with quiet/LOUD dynamic shifts, mostly instrumentals.
