So far, I've given at least one listen to these full albums from the roulette:

- Anathema - WHBWH (bought it too, waiting for it to arrive) - Incredible, I love it
- Mono - Hymn to the Immortal Wind - There are some gorgeous songs here and others that are more GYBEsque and will take some more time to get to appreciate them
- Portishead - Dummy - Will take more listens but I enjoy it
- Fair to Midland - Fables - Only listened to it once

I think I'm going to check God Is an Astronaut, Bon Iver, Diablo Swing Orchestra and Mew next.

By the way, the full list of bonus artists was this:

between the buried and me
agalloch
anathema
arcade fire
devin townsend
maudlin of the well
sleepytime gorilla museum
Boards of Canada
kayo dot
the flaming lips
talk talk
manchester orchestra
ulver
flying colors
mastodon
mew
brand new
portishead
slowdive
neutral milk hotel
miles davis
john coltrane
fair to midland
the river empires
mono
65daysofstatic
sleepmakeswaves
pavement
massive attack
can

Oh wow.  I could've sent you a some of those. In case you're still looking:
Arcade Fire: Just start with The Suburbs :) Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) is a mind blowing track!
The Flaming Lips: I couldn't really give you an album to start with but some of my favourite tracks: She Don't Use Jelly, Do You Realize?., The W.A.N.D., ... :)
Talk Talk: One of my favourite bands!! Spirit Of Eden is an amazing album. I Believe In You is so beautiful.

:)

And that folks, was a well run roulette.  Good on ya Xanthul.  I didn't post much during it... these bands/songs aren't my cup of tea, but to each their own.

Congrats Zantera.
