I'll make a blind reccomendation for you guys again and if any of you are proficient with any music downloading progs hopefully you can get your hands on these (2) CDs.
The Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl: Volumes 1 & 2 (2 Seperate CDs).
This is one of my favorite bands and I would implore anyone to check them out. It's definite headphone music or music to listen to on a good sound system, IMO. Some of you may not like it, but I love it.
If you can get ahold of the liner notes you should check them out and read the story of the making of this album. I realize these CDs aren't going to be easy to come by so if you have a local mom and pop record store you may be able to find it there. It wont be at a Best Buy or anything of the like.
You can listen to a couple tracks from Low Level Owl: Volume 1 & 2 at Deep Elm Records' website and even buy the CDs there as well:

Massive in approach and epic in scope, LOW LEVEL OWL is a vast soundscape that lives and breathes on its own. Nearly two hours in total length, twenty-six beautifully orchestrated songs appear on two separate volumes of lush melody, expertly paced dynamics and blossoming atmospherics. THE APPLESEED CAST gives way to a more courageous exploration of sound and texture on LOW LEVEL OWL, experimenting with loops, echoes, instrumentation, inverting tape and changing speeds. They discover the sonic possibilities...the masterpiece in every measure. Each song nearly explodes at the seams, overflowing with symphonics, crescendos, swells of feedback and electronics. Listen to slowly building waves of guitars and drums that ultimately crest, bursting into the shimmering tears of honest men. Music like this is neither calculated nor deliberate. It just happens. It just exists. This is the music to dream to.
