Explosions in The Sky are really good. They are kinda like GY!BE but with shorter songs and not as much buildup just really straight-forward.
Let me know about that MONO, I think I am gonna buy it tomorrow.

Well... in short: it rules. You won't be going wrong in getting it.
I think all these bands are on the same record label.

I have almighty thrashed in hell for\Biding time until the clocks collapse.
Music shattered my spine on the steps outside;
I cannot move; my liquid breathing
Is sculpted with this binding gel.
But come, my love, and rescue me
From failure.
Cover me with an opium sheet,
Embrace me with gossamer;

Yeah Explosions in the SKy are quite excellent, and doomcifer's description is right on the money, however, the do not use as many instruments as GYBE, and there is more a bit more emphasis on a electronic sound. Speaking of new bands I just heard a Swedish guys music called Raison D'Etre it is quite stunning. Ambient electronic, that is wonderfully good, a bit dark, tasteful gregorian chants., etc.

cheating the polygraph
What I've heard from Explosions and Raison D'Etre is quite stimulating, albums by both may find their way into the post-Christmas haul...
So no one has heard the other 3?
BTW, this Mono is a damn fine album. Listening to it for the 3rd time.

On TARENTEL:
"Virtually every song is built from expansive improvisations of sweeping drones and walls of discordant feedback. Where taut, meticulous guitar melodies once drove their songs to conclusion, thunderous drumming now navigates the group through an uncertain abyss of layered noise, horn bursts (courtesy of musician Steve Dyes arsenal of homemade instruments) and the occasional lonely piano. Perhaps for the first time since their inception, the studio Tarentel and the live Tarentel are one and the same. With nearly all obvious reference points now removed, their music has become incredibly difficult to describe. Rather than trying to say its sounds like this or that, now youre best! off just saying, 'Let me tell you a story...' "
On BY THE END OF TONIGHT:
"As with many great bands, this one almost literally came out of nowhere and brought with them the most mind-bending combination of sounds weve heard since that dream that I had about Don Caballero and Botch playing a hillbilly ho-down with The Police. The technical gymnastics are there in spades, so much so that its not even worth talking about. Its like telling a crowded room that youre naked. Not so obvious right away, however, is the passion with which this EP unfurls. Beginning like a twisted prog-rock Georgia stomp, the four songs here are equal parts hardcore, speed metal, jazz breaks, epic avant-rock and sentimental 80s soundtracks. Its a refreshing change of pace for a scene so saturated with one-trick ponies. Plus, its loads of fun trying to guess which 80s songs some of these riffs were lifted from."
On ELUVIUM:
Random review at Amazon: "This album is nothing short of awe inpiring bliss. Upon opening the plastic and peeling the seal off, the magic starts. The artwork is stark and beautiful. Very Tim Burton-esque. The listening experience is breathtaking. It is a half hour of the most beautiful piano peices ever composed. This album will be the soundtrack for many experiences in my life. Experience this masterpiece."
I think I will purchase one or two of these. I'm feeling lucky.

Okay, that Eluvium is very, very good. Pure Chopin-esque beauty (with out Chopin's show-off-ness). It's really very emotional and an excellent listening experience.
