Definnalty get GSYBE's album F#A# (infinity symbol), its an amazing album. Lift Your Skinny Fists... is very good too, and I'd assume the new one is as well. Then pick up "This is Our Punk Rock: Several Rusted Satalites Gather + Sing" by A Silver Mount Zion, its probably the best album of the year IMO. Try out SMZ eariler stuff too.

If you get Sigur Ros, get Agaetis Byrjun and stay far away from every other release they've done, but in all honesty you should just avoid them all together as they have the worst vocalist in indie rock (he sounds like Thom Yorke on helium) and some of the most seriously boring music in years.
I'd suggest these albums:
The Rachel's - The Sea and the Bells
Aereogramme - Sleep and Release
Slint - Spiderland

disagreed, () is a damn fine album, i hated the vocals at first, but the hypnotic atmosphere and tracks 5, 7, and 8 make up for it.....
anyway, definately get "Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" is essential, definately the best post-rock album ever (best non-metal album ever too, imo)

I concur Sunlapse, () is a masterpiece. This is one of the few times i have totally disagreed with Luminous on a question of music, usually Luminous taste is quite good.
the best...

I'm gonna reccomend a few albums that haven't been mentioned yet, and I consider to be great post-rock releases:
Tortoise-Standards (my favorite by them, TNT being a close second. Check this out NOW, probably my favorite post rock band right now)
Labradford-E Luxo So (Some people don't consider them post rock. I do, and this is my favorite release by them)
Tarentel-From Bone To Satellite (simply awesome)
I'm gonna have to agree with Luminous here and reccomend Agaetys over (). I don't hate () or anything, I just think it's not as good as it could've been.
Hmm, like everyone before me, I'd reccomend GYBE!-Lift your skinny fists... (when the exclamation point was at the end of their name
). Their EP (Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada) is quite good as well.
Oh yeah. you should check out some of tis year's releases as well. My favorites are:
A Silver Mt.Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-la-la Band with Choir-This is our Punk Rock...Thee Rusted Satellites Gather + Sing (pretentious band/album name aside, I like this release a lot)
Do Make Say Think-Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn
I've seen some elitists around here who instantly label you a moron if you list any post rock band that comes from a well known label, or that doesn't come from the more obscure scenes. These people are complete retards and you shouldn't listen to them, they can masturbate to their ultra rare underground noise bands all they like. Anyway, that list should be more than enough to get you started

Thanx. I recently bought GY!BE's 'Lifts Your Skinny Fists...' and absolutely love it. I've downloaded 'Yanqui U.X.O.' and fully intend on purchasing it soon. I'll try my best to check out the bands and albums recommended, especially the A Silver Mt. Zion stuff as I've heard them named dropped quite often.
Cheers.
