I'm surprised, I must say.  They're different enough that you you 
shouldn't discount them because you don't like Mogwai (and Radiohead 
also has a larger range of styles).

Most of the other top prog albums listed in the site I linked will be in 
a style more similar to this, so it might be worth taking a look at some 
of the bands that keep appearing (Genesis, King Crimson, Van Der Graff 
Generator, etc.)

I'd like to know of modern music that continues in this tradition, but 
there's only a couple of bands that I can think of that that are doing 
something even remotely similar, and their music tends to be a lot 
"heavier".  I'm sure with a bit more looking I'll find some though, 
there's plenty enough bands out there to get a nice range of styles.
