I went with Kayo Dot. Of their discography, I can say that at least two of their albums (their debut Choirs of the Eye and their latest Coyote) are personal favorites, and while the other two aren't quite as enticing, they still have very intriguing moments that give them more than enough merit (well Blue Lambency Downward is rather weak, but whatever). Their avant-garde tendencies, as well as the big size of their instrumentation make the music so much more rewarding. The fact that they contain so many spoken word portions and random spasms of ambiance may make some think they're one of those 'pretentious art crowd bands', but underneath that lie some of the most intriguing and structured pieces of avant-garde/prog rock that I've seen in a long time.
