Just to disagree again, I don't think there's anything pretentious about Godspeed at all. Why? Just because they have strings and write 20 minute tracks? Nah. Excellent music, both the album and the EP are a must listen. In the electronic/post-rock vein, I would recommend Matmos' The West EP; one of the best releases of the past year. Their other releases are fantastic too, two albums on Vague Terrain just rereleased by someone (?)
