They just dont do it for me, I find other post rock bands such as Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Rós to be far more interesting.

To me EITS come across as very bland compared to Mogwai and such. Sigur Ros is a whole different entity though. Way different than anyone else in the genre.

I've decided Stanley Kubrick is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard

I like EITS more than I do Sigur Ros at this point in time. However, as far as Mogwai goes the BBC sessions album may well be making the rest of the discography a little more accessible for me. Its spectacular.

sigur ros makes me zzz a lot

I think I would love Sigur Ros if they didnt have a singer.

I just LOVE the Hawk is Howling - big thanks to Trace for the download, its absolutely wonderful... especially love the way the album ebbs and flows and rises and falls sonically, it is definitely one of their more intricate, textured albums, and BOY did it grip me in a big way today, in such a way that this one will be CD player favorite for some time to come, methinks...

Might also have to do some Mogwai revisiting...

I should check it out then, I still haven't heard it.

You should indeed, well worth the time you spend listening to it!

Explain.
