can you recommend a full length by this group? i love what i've heard from them ... atmospheric, thick, progressive ... so lush. |

their first 2 records are brilliant. check out the live mp3s on their brainwashed.com webpage. also checkout the first 2 a silver mount zion recorrds. those are top notch too. you can do quite a bit of digging on their labels, so have fun...good stuff. yum. |

I would recommend the double album Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven. Its the one I first heard and its still my favourite. I would say that if you're willing to spend some time listening - or the EP Slow Riot for Zero New Kanada if you want a quicker overview (its also excellent). The first LP is good but not sure if its the best intro. The last record is awful, so avoid that at all costs :S But welcome to the world of Godspeed, they are totally unique really! |

yanqui wasn't that awful in my opinion.. true it didnt scale the heights of the other records and the spoken word samples are missed. but i still enjoy it. |

They're all awesome. Honestly. Skinny Fists probably just tops it over the lot though. |

Let's party (in a post rock style) like it's 1999. |

Its okay I guess... I suppose my expectations were way high after Skinny Fists. And yeah, part of the magic of that release was the found sound clips... they were almost as important as the music itself. Yanqui just seemed like an empty shell of a Godspeed release. Someone made a good point ages ago about the volume as well - its not dynamic enough, production wise. On the first album, the quiet bits are reeaaally quiet, you turn the volume up, then the loud bits are really loud. On Yanqui it was all a bit too levelled out, the 'loud' bits didn't seem much louder than the 'quiet' bits. Having said that I think the last track is pretty ace :) |

Constellation has sorta been in the crapper as of late. I wasnt feeling any of the several past releases. I also hear GYBE might have disbanded for good... Can anyone confirm? Regardless, I would really love a new record soon. While there, might as well get a new Do Make Say Think record out of 'em too. Also, if I may recommend.... Constellation Records, dear friend, do us all a favor and release a Tim Hecker record. We would love you for ever. |

I've found 65daysofstatic to be the best post-whatever instrumental band to come along in years. Highly, highly recommended to all reading this thread, considering they all have a tinge of electronic elements in their music as well. |

Whoops, when I say "they all," I meant all of 65daysofstatic's records. Sorry. |

I met them some years ago when they were a supporting act at a tiny rock show. They were great. Never thought that hybrid of music would ever be appreciated beyond a small type of fan... but they are clearly doing well for themselves. The electronics guy was raelly sound. He told me about his gear - he used really old Apple hardware for the sequencer and a lot of hardware drum machines etc. Really nice guy. Although the main guitarist was a bit austere. |

I thiink Yanqui is a solid record, in fact Mother Fucker = Redeemer is hot sex. Lift Your Skinny Fists is best tho |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
whoah fuckin hell didnt even know they used drum machines let alone apple hardware !! Yanqui has grown on me...i didnt like at all originally anyone heard "All lites fucked on the hairy amp drooling"?? tape only release with tapeloop stuff i heard when there was only 2 ppl in GYBE! |

I'm just teasing, sorry. More a less a reflection on most people not willing to exercise the attention span to get into GYBE. Though, attention span and taste are often not the same thing. To be fair, to each his own. cheers! |

Well i gave them a try just I believe I just don't like this kind of music. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
skinny fists seems to be the consensus here. i'll try that one. |
||||||||

:D I remember getting it when it came out (I was still quite young) and being fascinated by the artwork for weeks. Its still impressive although my copy looks like its been through the wash a few times (its a cardboard case). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
their music began to depress me so much (everything by the collective) that i traded in my huge collection (including some kind of rare material) for some random cds. i still have skinny fists, though. that album rocks! |
