As much as I love placing people into categories, it sounds like you're
enjoying more of the "post-rock" stuff. You may want to look into some
Labradford stuff, although it's slower than Tortoise. A lot of the bands
with pages at www.brainwashed.com covers a lot of "post-rock" material,
which covers much of the "well this has elements that are similar to rock,
but it's definitely not *rock* music."
I've heard some really good Stars of the Lid that might be up your alley,
along with Papa M or Aerial M (David Pajo).
The self-titled Aerial M album (long EP?) with "Wedding Song No.2" and
"Compassion for M" is particularly nice. Your post just reminded me to
throw it on again, and i'm probably goign to be listening to it for a
couple days straight now :D
