I Love Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Seriously, I bought Lift Your Skinny Fists... a few weeks ago, and this might be some of the best music I've heard. I think I need to buy their other albums.

Any fans here? Favourite album/song?

Discuss this marvelous Montreal band!

Absolutely!! G!YBE are a great band! "Skinny Fists" is a favourite along with " Yanqui U.X.O. "

way cool stuff.

you must also be familiar with Sigur Ros? a more "pop" version

Sigur Rós is also very cool. I bought Ágćtis Byrjun shortly after I started listening to GY!BE.

It's a really good album as well. Maybe a bit more "spacey".

GY!BE is better though.

Freakin' killer band, although I much prefer Silver Mt. Zion.

Definitely check them out, it's a bit of a side project for a few members of GY!BE. One of the greatest live shows I've ever experienced.

Does anyone know the name of the Godspeed... song featured in the American Nightmare documentary? It's over the end credits and is astonishingly beautiful.

I am not hesitant to say that "Lift Yr. Skinny Fists..." is the perfect album (Double album? I always listen to them in a row anyway). In fact I would says the first 5 minutes of "Storm" is one of the absolute pinnacles of composition in any genre of music.

Oh, try and get the "Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada" EP. It's amazing.

the song "Moya" can be heard in the movie 28 Days Later.

Tazer Floyd and Mother****er=Redeemer are really good live tracks. www.archive.org has several high-quality live recordings.

Actually, it's "East Hastings".

I just bought Yanqui U.X.O., 'cause it was the only one in store. I'm gonna give it a spin now.
