Alternative Scene: Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Have some 5.1 surround sound hi-fi system at your living room? Well, get yourself a confy layback chair/couch, some soft drink and one of the Godspeed You! Black Emperor works and get ready for one of the best state-of-art pieces of music you'll ever get the chance to listen.. It's simply beautiful!
Grimmin' with orchestral rock wonderfulness, Godspeed You! Black Emperor prove themselves as one of the best post-rock bands around side-by-side with Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Rós, Mogwai and God Is An Astronaut. With drums and guitar of typical rock-band instrumentation, and horns and strings of the classical-orchestra background, these Canadian 9-piece band-orchestra burst into a melodic climax that'll drive you hypnotic. Each song from Godspeed You! Black Emperor it's like a journey.. a journey through light and darkness, joy and sorrow, life and dead, and most of all, silence and noise. It's a pure progressive, sonic music building filled with various different movements in each track that flower into a new phase after climax explosions.. just like the sea, comes and goes, brings noise and stays quiet. It's these transitions and remarkable crescendo that you'll hardly forget! And it's they're own creative style that makes them a unique, almost-flawless band, even epic at times. At stage, they manage to create an awesome soundscape of feelings and emotions. You're taken from the quietest whisper to rock-breaking waves of sound in such a perfect way leaving you paralized and simply amazed by it's beauty.

With already 4 albums released to date, Godspeed You! Black Emperor are at their best, continuin' givin' some awesome gigs worldwide. "F#A# (infinity symbol)" was their debut, following with "Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada", "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven" came next and last, but not least, "Yanqui U.X.O.". All four albums marked their way since 1998 till 2002 (last release date), leaving great songs like 'Providence', 'Moya', 'Sleep' and 'Antennas To Heaven'. The last album wasn't the best work of this band, but it doens't mean it's bad! Only one music ('Moya') for download this time, since it's a 10-minute song, one of my personal favorites. Try and listen to them, get in love, and chase their albums!
