I went through my first phase of preferring post-rock, experimental music in 2000-2001. That's when I first got turned on to Sigur Ros and Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor!. This interest was also cultivated by composers Phillip Glass and Steve Reich.
Today I was turned on to another such artist when I received my regular e-newsletter from Coldplay. They used some tracks from Jon Hopkins on Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. Check out his artist page here. And here you can listen to the full track that was used by Coldplay: Download 01 Light Through The Veins.
Enjoy. Happy listening.
