Jim O'Rourke - The Visitor (2009)

Beautiful, instrumental album from this eclectic artist. Acoustic guitars, piano cascades, and lovely pedal steel. One track, 38 minutes. Highly recommended.

World's End Girlfriend - Seven Idiots (2010)

World's End Girlfriend's most recent album. According to Katsuhiko Maeda, he wrote complete vocal tracks for each song first, then filled them in with instrumentation. Afterwards, he removed the vocals and continued to mix until each song was completed. Very interesting. I would call it Maeda's best to date.

Mono - You Are There (2006)

Epic in the proper sense of the word. Very beautiful, dramatic and even almost cinematic. This is classical music with guitars. Some would argue that's what post rock is, but it doesn't really matter. Very good.
