Ok, I'm quite bored at the moment as I am working on a 10 page lab report due at noon tomorrow and it's going absolutely nowhere, so here's a super cool album review:

Song of the Silent Land - A Compilation by Constellation Records

Constellation Records, for those of you not familiar with the label, is most popular for spawning Godspeed You! Black Emperor and the myriad of side projects that followed. They are most definitely a label for the fans and the music, as they are major critiques of the RIAA and the modern music industry. Further, they package some of the coolest records you'll ever see. Just buy F#A# Infinity on vinyl and you'll see what I mean.

This album itself is superb. A must listen for anyone interested in anything remotely experimental, electronic, post rock, world-folk, .... the list goes on. There are 14 songs here (13 of them being unreleased) from 14 different bands, varying about as much as you could possibly imagine from a compilation album, yet it flows better than 99% of things I've ever heard. From the Jewish-inspired folk of Black Ox Orkestar [a band I made a thread for but no one responded to ] to the noise fest of Do Make Say Think to a track from GY!BE themselves, this album never misses. Download this album now, and I promise you'll find yourself checking out at least one of the bands found on it.

Peace fuckers
