From that list I also love and appreciate The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree, and Oceansize... some of my favourite bands are up there. I like new prog, a lot, and can't understand sometimes why it receives so much criticism.
Well math rock is usually used to describe indie bands like Slint and Don Caballero.

Though you can certainly call Tool mathematical.

Btw have you ever heard anything by King Crimson? They're a band I'm always trying to get people into. They have opened for Tool on some occasions and Tool consider them one of if not their biggest influence, I'd say they've had a strong influence on TMV as well.

This is what Maynard said about them.

"I think it was an honor for us. For our fans, it was something like an education. A lot of our fans weren't really aware where we were coming from, what inspired us. I find it a bit sad. I think to share one stage with King Crimson was important. It showed where our roots are, where we are coming from. After all, in today's music scene every band seems to steal from other bands. They're all stealing from each other and they all claim to be the originals. I think it's limiting – limiting for the bands and for the listener."

"For me, being on stage with King Crimson is like Lenny Kravitz playing with Led Zeppelin, or Britney Spears onstage with Debbie Gibson."
