Godspeed You! Black Emperor

I really like their John Peel session from 1999 - just one long track called "hung over as the oven at maida vale" - it's never been officially released but is quite easy to find on the web....

I saw them a couple weeks ago in NYC. If it wasn't for a mind blowing concert by The Mars Volta a couple years ago, this would be my favorite concert ever. The projection was ****ing incredible. They played Static with a projection of an oil factory fire. DO YOU REALIZE HOW INSANLEY BADASS THAT IS??? It was so loud in there that I felt like the music was passing through me like an entity. It was unreal. They also played as well as they do on the albums.

It an experience that I'll never forget. Ever.

He's been doing albums outside of Mt. Zion?

Oh yeah, as my profile says, Godspeed are my favourite band of all time. They're the kind of band that could record themselves going to the toilet and turn it into music, and I love them for that.

Every time someone bumps this thread, I get a little angry at GY!BE for not coming to Austin this year. And reading "Exoskeletal's" post, time after time, only adds insult to injury.

Yeah, there's one guy I know down in Brighton who's got tickets to see them. I'm absolutely furious that he'll get to see them and I won't, so I feel your pain.

I was away when they played in Manchester last year but have just bought a ticket for THIS - can't wait!

New album?!

PLEASE! I need to see them live.
