'Games, must we?' Yes, we must. I'm assuming this is a close-knit enough community for y'all to have a reasonable enough grasp on each other's music taste to throw them a recordmendation. If not, just make it anything you're digging, I suppose.
I'll probably be much harder than most since I stopped doing Soundtracks of Our Lives ages ago, but once I'm out of the way I'm sure it'll get much easier. Any ol' post-punk or folk thing will usually scratch an itch for me.

To Monganaut/Stencilhead, who I know to like the quirkier end of postpunk - I recommend 'Laughing Acadamy' by Punishment Of Luxury. Okay, you may already be familiar with it, but on the off-chance it's slipped your radar, go get.

Recommending something to Monganaut, the man who alerted me to the spacerock lurking unidentified on Mob Rules...
As you are someone undaunted by the metal side of all things cosmic I would heartily suggest either of the Mammatus albums. Drones and massive grooves - doubtless you have them already, listen to them again perhaps.

Edit: Just found out they released a third album in 2013. Heady Mental. With a title that crass I had no choice but to buy immediately. Funny how chain of events start.
And yet another edit: An album with an excellent review on The Quietus written by the guy that I got pissed with last night. Too busy talking about the comprehensive slipper display in the shop opposite the pub we were in to talk about important stuff...

The six inexplicable minutes I spent on that have fucked everything up.
To get back on track...To KC, a man who seems to appreciate a bit of thoughtful pop I would recommend Arnold and their Hillside Album.
Ditto you doubtless have already. Here is the best quiet then LOUD track from this side of the Atlantic...

Nice one. Have heard of Punishment of Luxury but never checked them out, so will remedy that at the soonest. Cheers!

Feel a bit guilty for hijacking Sin Agog's thread, so I'll shut up afte this one.
Ta R.E! Got the first Mammatus, but will check out the rest. Lose track of whose doing what a lot of the time when you 'follow' so many bands, so cheers for that.
Really digging Salem's Pot at the minute, Swedish heavy psych/stoner/space (don't let the name and jokey song titles put you off, some serious guitar work on show)
Nothing Hill - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpC9h5Rsjsw
Creep Purple - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7oNz8jdgBE
Watch Me Kill You - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31S7ENwlEEM
Current discovery are 'Sex Church' from 2011, so not 'new', but are very much in the vein of TV Ghost and Pop.1280 via a bit of Gun Club twang.
Beneath The Bottom - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTtScSu6Pzo
Garbage in the Grass - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVWDsSmhAW8

To Sin Agog - two lovely improvised pieces (no edits or overdubs) by my favourite new band Kikagaku Moyo (translated as Geometric Patterns).

Oh wow, I just stepped inside my boat after getting bashed into by a car skidding in the rain, and Kikagaku Moyo have already made me forget all about it. Taj Mahal Travellers for the '00s! Exactly what I needed to hear at this exact moment. Thankyoumuchly! And to mongonaut, too.
I seem to recall you've listened to some pretty zen stuff on Soundtracks. This might be a bit of a risk, and it is technically just a song (a 30 minute one), but I find it never fails to transport me with its primitive mid-'70s electronics, narration that gets progressively more out there, and a really naive sense of awe throughout: Blue Gene Tyranny - Out of the Blue. Hope it whisks you away the way it does me. I think it's safe to say that it sounds like absolutely nothing else... Probably the most human piece to ever come from the mind of a Modern Classicist. It's pretty mental that he was a one-time member of The Stooges, especially after you hear that song.
Metal is my blind-spot. Someone hit me with your best shot. My ears are open.
