[Prog Rock Man]

From Los Angeles, the bass heavy, electronic of El Ten Eleven is post rock you can dance to. On 'These promises are being videotaped' the tracks 'Fat Gym Riot' and 'Adam and Nathan totally kick ass' are superb.
 
                                              

 

[Prog Rock Man]

Cougar and their album Patriot, probably one of the best examples of what post rock is all about..........
 
                   

 

[fuseboxx]

The recommendations here are overwhelming... and I'm not exactly sure that's a good thing.

 

[Prog Rock Man]

Well the recommendations keep coming.......Tristeza and Spine & Sensory, which is the closest to melodic easy listening post rock I can think of.

This is my favorite from the softer side of post-rock.

 

[Prog Rock Man]

Coincidence, this is what I am listening to right now......
 
                                         

 

[MrQ]

At the neo-classical/post rock end is the sublime Rachel's. Start with the wonderful 
Systems/Layers

"Enter" by Russian Circles is a much better album IMO than Geneva. +1 on the "This Will Destroy You"

Really great albums in this thread...  Among my favorite post-rock albums not mentioned are 
 
South Pacific - Constance

 
Trans Am - Red line

 
and my favorite math rock album is Slint's Spiderland.  Very heavy but at moments awe inspiring.
 

 

[Prog Rock Man]

Godspeed You! Black Emperor, 'Lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven' has a really dramatic celtic, orchestral vibe to it.......

Tera Melos - Drugs to the Dear Youth EP
 
 
Essential math rock

Tried Slint, but didn't get into them at all. However, Tera Melos and this EP is superb
