But special mention must be made to Wolves In The Throne Room. Not only did they have a pretty evocative name, every aspect of their time at ATP was carefully art directed to reflect their image of organic farmers from the deep forest of the Pacific Northwest.

They had an amazing vinyl copy of their Diadem of 12 Stars. I could only really get into Wolves for about half an hour, but I was completely blown away by their craft as musicians and their slavish attention to every detail.
