If These Trees Could Talk - Above the Earth, Below the Sky
It will blatantly be in my top five records of the year, easily. It's immense.

I listened to the whole thing on my way to Uni today and wasn't that impressed to be honest. Need to give it a few more listens first.

It would be extra awesome if you guys could post a link to the album you like. Then I can update the list and in the end we'll have a huge list with awesome music. Yay!

There are just so many bands out there that does a mcuh better job when it comes to this kind of genre.

I urge everyone in here to check out the ZOMBI album. It's awesomeness.

Instrumental "70's horror movie music" inspired weirdness.

Well, I feel they are one of those bands that does the better job. Lots of people think Caspian are the balls for example, whereas I think they're rubbish. So it's all subjective anyway.
