Ibram, where would you put Stereolab in this Post-Rock spectrum, or would you? Is that Post-Rock?
I used to collect strange music on AG, when it was an active filetrading site where you could join groups with common interests. I'd have to dig through my stacks of MP3 discs to remember the names of some of the stuff. A song called Carl Sagan or something comes to mind... (Google says For Carl Sagan, by Tarentel) that sounds about right. As I recall... a long, minimalistic guitar sculpture.
I was in a group called Experimental Noise where I found the coolest shit, like RORN. These short, electronic noise constructions. Ever heard that?
