65Daysofstatic, a British instrumental post-rock outfit led by guitarists Joe Shrewsbury and Paul Wolinski, coined a sound for guitar, piano, noise and drum-machine that seamlessly blends Brit-pop, hard-rock and drum'n'bass. The Fall Of Math (Monotreme, 2004) was derived from both elements of Mogwai and Squarepusher. Retreat Retreat was a single.

The sonic attack of One Time For All Time (Monotreme, 2005) was simultaneously more intense and elegant, more "digital" and more visceral, thanks to the addition of Paul Wolinski's keyboards.

The Destruction of Small Ideas (2007) had an even stronger digital feel but fell short on creative ideas.

We Were Exploding Anyway (2010) reduced the jarring tones and increased the doses of electronica, yielding the crisp and streamlined Mountainheads as well as the eight-minute "song" Come To Me (with the Cure's Robert Smith on vocals). The epileptic Dance Dance Dance is more in line with the Field's reputation for disorienting soundscapes, a reputation that gets enhanced by enigmatic compositions like the lengthy Tiger Girl, Crash Tactic, Piano Fights and Weak4. The EP Heavy Sky (2010) was a corollary to the album.

Silent Running (2011) was a far less ambitious work, with the exception of Space Montage.

Paul Wolinski also released Labyrinths (2011) in a more traditional techno and synth-pop vein.
