That's a really nice write-up. The teaser vids really had my attention as well. This looks like it's worth seeing. Even to those of us (me) who aren't avid Mogwai fans. I like everything I've heard from them, but never taken the time to explore them.

Forgot about this project. Jonsi & Alex "Riceboy Sleeps". Side project of one of the Sigur Ros members. Might be a bit too beatless, but it does have an ambient shoegaze type feel. The entire album is colored with wistful beauty. This song starts slow and builds late btw.

I'm kind of surprised no mentions of Boards Of Canada yet.

Not really postrock or shoegaze either, but more in the modern classical department. This is one of the most melancholic pieces of music I have heard in a long while. Positively mesmerizing. Especially the simplicity and effectiveness of chords around 2:35-2:52 are out of this world. These 5 minutes will be among the best spent in your life
By all meand check out more work from Nils Frahm (as well as Machinefabriek for more abstract ambient). Truly a gifted artist.

Great pick!
Nils is a complete genius.
