It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

The instrumental, multimedia Montreal group Godspeed You Black Emperor! creates extended, repetition-oriented chamber rock. The minimal and patient builds-to-crescendo of the group's compositions result in a meditative and hypnotic listen that becomes almost narrative when combined with found-sound splices and the films of their visual collaborators. GYBE! formed in 1994, and that year self-released a limited-run (33 copies) cassette entitled All Lights F**ked on the Hairy Amp Drooling. The band's next recording, F#A#(Infinity), was initially a limited-run release of 550 LPs on the Canadian label Constellation, but was picked up by Kranky and released onto CD as well. Early 1999 brought the EP Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada (released by both labels) and increased recognition for a band intent on retaining anonymity. Nevertheless, interest in GYBE! only continued to grow among new music fans with much positive attention from The Wire magazine, the band's participation in the John Peel-produced Peel Session for the London BBC, and the group's consistently impressive live shows, including their performance at Quebec's 1999 new music festival FIMAV and the tour with Labradford later that year. GYBE! performances generally include at least nine or more musicians and a projectionist. The instrumentation consists of three guitars, two basses, French horn, violin, viola, cello, and percussion. 2000 brought about the release of Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, pushing their diverse orchestral rock sound even further into the universe. ~ Joslyn Layne, Rovi
I cannot tell you how much I love Skinny Fists. It is and will always be in my top 10 albums of all time. Such beauty and a musical journey. Those who haven't heard it are losing out big time.
Been a fan for 10 years and missed seeing them play in Seattle back then. Got my chance a couple of nights ago. Holy s**t, this band is amazing. One of the only bands in the last ten years that I can listen to regularly and not tire of the sounds. WOW!
im much dumber than 328-but this is music for smarty pantz-like silver mt. zion and albini's pretentious,obnoxious,spoiled brattish-big black.at least the band-OM- don't talk...
Got my tickets in the mail to see them February 17th. 4 and a half months away, but the tickets sold out in 2-3 days so im glad I picked them up when I did. Can't wait.
I love these silent little moments before the storm.

Part of the song East Hastings was on the movie 28 days later and it was absolutly amazing. Besides that I love GYBE.

Everyone should check out Silver Mt. Zion(except The BRainS I guess?) they are continuing this sound with tastful vocals and wonderful guitar riffs.. there are so many off shoots to this band, and they are all as GREAT as GYBE!!! Word P.S. I'm pretty sure the whole band is against the internet you should be too! Read a BOOK!!!

As a long time fan and listener I'm wondering where you're getting this information.
teLL me what a CONSPIRACY NUT is. confirm the identities of the "wingnuts". did u know that TODAYS' MIGHTY OAK is just YESTERDAYS' NUT THAT HELD IT'S GROUND?!? all you naysayers are GOING TO BE SORRY(that you nay-sayed,pish-poshed,de-bunked, or otherwise ridicuLed the HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE of the AGES.) and godspeed you! bLack emperor is the SOUND of that SORRY-ness.
These guys are incredible. They did the opening song for 28days later, or the part where Jim leaves the hospital, and they also did the first song, or the song from the farm seen, in 28weeks later.

read "lunar Park" by easton ellis while listening to east hastings and sleep..gives you the creeps..the story itself is strange and dark. Highly recommend it.
All the pathos and insanity of every doomsday forteller and conspiracy nut on Earth distilled into expanisve, articulate, thoroughly inspired compositions. Probably the greatest progressive rock band ever.
If, during the course of your typical day, you sometimes sense inside yourself a gnawing fear that the pillars of society are crumbling and everything you take for granted is about to collapse...well, this music will amplify that by about a thousand-fold. The catch is that you will also be taken for a sweeping tour of sound, allowing you to appreciate beauty in the most insignificant and trivial details of everyday life. If you cherish an attention span longer than a few minutes,listen to this.
These guys (gals?) kick so much a**. they're probably not for everybody, but if you're into incredible, eclectic, hypnotic, revolutionary, experimental music. then you should give them a serious listen. not the 20 second sound bytes though, their songs are typically 20 minutes long. fight the power! and God Speed You...

I was introduced to GYBE about a year ago, and have fallen in love with their music since then. Cannot wait to see them live.
Got my tickets in the mail to see them February 17th. 4 and a half months away, but the tickets sold out in 2-3 days so im glad I picked them up when I did. Can't wait.
It's ironic when people are basically saying to get off the internet, while they're on the internet, telling you to get off the internet..Lo v e it.
