Also: anybody know any bands similar to Tortoise? They are rapidly becoming one of my favorites.

Basically nothing is really similar to Tortoise, they're quite unique. But there are things I would recommend to a Tortoise fan, such as:

5.00 | 1 ratings
Sonic Codex
2007

(more towards sampling and soundscapes)

3.64 | 7 ratings
One-Armed Bandit
2010

(more jazz, Nu-Jazz to be correct)

4.24 | 30 ratings
Enter
2006

(math rock meets post-rock)

I don't know, I think Shub-Niggurath may sacrifice them to some Lovecraftian demon in exchange for immortality.

Surprisingly, I have to agree with Alex.

Jaga Jazzist is nice, Russian Circles too.

Not a big fan of Aarset, though.

TNT is three stars. MNLWND is earth-shattering.

I'm guessing it's your supposition that (insert band here) is better than Turtle. Anyway, I'm vacating the premises too, just cus I can't stand being in the same area for more than three hours, so farewell possible humans.
