I hear that name spoken admirably pretty often on the board... yet never a clue as to what gybe stands for or even what type of music it is.... can anyone give me the lowdown? btw, I would have used the search function but it does not appear to be working |

Godspeed You Black Emperor! until recently when they became Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Style: post-rock |

GY!BE, couldn't get into the last Sigur Ros album at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Sigur Ros as their my fav artists. I listened to ( ) and cryed at it,sheer beauty that words cannot describe.:* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Argghhhhhh Danbrusca!!!! How can you say that!! Blasphemy! |
||||||||
|

|
|
i havent been listening to () much yet but i like agaetis byrjun so much its pretty clear i like them better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Your heard sheer beauty, I heard an irritating lyric repeated ad nauseum ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree that Agaetis Byrjun is great... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree that same lyric is repeated. But its sang in so many ways that you can make up the meanings,its not the lyrics its the emotions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gybe and Sigur Ros are both great.. I think I like Sigur Ros a bit more though. () took some time for me to get into but now I love it dearly. I still haven't gotten into Yanqui UXO very much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The only problem with those guys is that they always build their song the same way. That's a little bit boring after 5 albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like gy!be a lot. i love sr. ab is a really great album, totally changed my appreciation of music in general, but in comparison to ( ) it's like bradley's beat in comparison to drukqs. maybe not so drastic, but they've come quite a ways. saw them in 2001 and again in 2002. beyond belief how they evolved from lovely to magical ecstatic. i love! |

I've been reading rollingstone magazine at work a lot recently, and () by Sigur Ros has been doing REALLY well down in the stats with college radio, and also in this weeks issue they showed this chart from a radio station in a particular town and it was like 9 or 10... pretty cool... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
() is definitely one of the most gorgeous albums I've heard in a while... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
godspeed is timeless threatening music, sigur ros is jolly pop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well I've heard one GYBE album, and two Sigur Ros albums... and I'll take Sigur Ros anyday thank you... one thing about the GYBE album I have is that the songs are really like many shorter songs within a longer one... and it's kind of annoying... either break up the different parts into different tracks, or keep some continuity within a track... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course you like sigur ros more, they're pop. godspeed is for people who like music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anything that is ecstatic is called "pop" these days. i bet it's just not qualitatively your thing, but like most people, you must insist on labeling it and denying that you just might "not like it" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ummm, no... Sigur Ros is just better... definitely not pop, though I wish they were... I'd rather have that on the radio... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and so much of ( ) is just too dark to be called pop by any definition. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like both sg and gy!be but that's true, sg is more pop in a way - for the themes of the songs for example: love, death, trolls... Being pop isn't a bad think at all. my fav pop records for the moment: Yoshimi battle by the flamming lips and the latest max tundra. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love sigur ros. and pop can be dark. what the hell are you talking or think you're talking about? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, you've got a broad definition of pop i think. when i hear pop radio i hear anything but dark music. and your comment implied that sigur ros are not for people who are serious appreciators of musicm but merely those who will listen to whatever's pop. kind of insulting i think. but obviously you appreciate sr. |
||||||||

- better than the cstrecords' page. mp3-clips too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i once heard gy!be. i remember it wasn't really all that. sigur ros isn't all that to me either. why am i answering this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're not answering, you're asking! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually i was answering until i interrupted my answering with stupid asking. i actually have an actual contribution here: it is said that gy!be has some interesting side projects. can you enlighten me in this issue? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm... i like most of them... they're not just sideprojects, but somehow releated things; set fire to flames silver mt. zion fly pan am (very repetitive kraut-like minimal rock) exhaust 1-speed bike . i don't know... if you don't like gybe, then i'm not sure if you'd like the side projects either... anyway, my favourite one is probably ... it's mostly improvised kind of ambient stuff... (shit i'm at school and i've got to do some work sorry. i'll do this better in a while... ok? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no worries or hurries. at least fly pan am sounds cool. (btw going to go see wigwam 35-anniversary show today, whee!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's some info also at |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(niks naks neetta... was wigwam good?) i promised i'd tell you something about these projects but i'm not sure what to say... fly pan am ... you either love it or hate... it can be annoying or hypnotic, it's up to you ---. i haven't heard the 2002 album yet, but i've read that it's very different from the 1st s/t one i've got: clangy guitars repeat melody, repeat repeat rep-zzap static noise apz--repeat... i like it. try before buy... (btw constellation vinyls are absolutely beautiful) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wigwam was ok... tavastia was wayyyy too full and i had pain in my legs and the place filled with middle-ages finnish men (read: drunken men). but jukka gustavson and pedro hietanen were cool :) i was checking the constellation website. quite interesting stuff. where are their releases available? can i order them? i am interrested |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i use stupido shop in helsinki... they usually have pretty much constellation stuff, (and if they odn't, they'll order it for you). i think you should try gybe's latest album 'yanqui u.x.o' too. it's pretty different from their older stuff. i love it so much i can't express it with words... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
stupido is teh coolness.. i get my autechre and björk there. used to live a few hundred meters from stupido! man my wallet was on strain. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh too many drunk middle-aged men is what i'd expect of a wigwam show... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah stupido is really my favourite record store. too bad it's 600km away. or maybe it's good actually... |

levez vos skinny fists is practically a religious experience for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm wondering what is the real title of the album: levez vos skinny fists comme antenna to heaven or lift your skinny fists like antenna to heaven ? the first one being the broken french/english translation of the second... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why did they make it gy!be instead of gybe! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a) to make news b) to fuck with snobby fans who point out that people forgot the "!" after "emperor" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's 'lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven' as the 2lp spine states i think. 'levez vos...' reads only in the back... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK now I'm pretty sure that lift your skinny fists is the name of the album and levez vos skinny fists the name of a song... too bad I don't have my cd with me to check this. |
