maudlin of the Well - Leaving Your Body Map
You might recognize the name Toby Driver if you've been anywhere on the internet for the last couple of years. His highly-influential and highly-'avant-garde' project Kayo Dot have been garnering high acclaim since their album Choirs of the Eye (download it). But some not be familiar with his previous band maudlin of the Well. A full band of 'revolving door members' made odd prog metal drenched in jazz and folk detailing. Sure there are 'death growls' and double bass but there's also amazing melodic sections that will keep you interested for days. This album was a partner album to Bath. Which is also a wonderful record. Toby Driver claims to have written this whole album while doing some astral projection or whatever. I don't know if I believe that but hey...it's a great album. So go for it.
