I can't believe I have their entire major discography in vinyl. Bless Constellation for keeping their catalog always available.

I always thought it was "Godspeed You! Black Emperor" in lieu of "Godspeed You Black Emperor!". Anyone care to clarify this?

They make worlds arise and burn them down on one side of a vinyl. Simply one of the best bands in the last 30 years......

This is music of unrivalled depth for me.Exploring themes which are becoming ever more relevant in these troubled times,Godspeed manage to harness despair,frustration and sadness but also reflect hope and inner strength at the same time.It's music which takes the listener beyond that which he or she is hearing.The music itself is generally laced with spoken word / interview samples,which inspite of not being a new idea,brings a great deal to the atmosphere created and leads the listener in different directions throughout.This is not to say that these samples pre-determine the listeners journey in a negative way,but rather keeps them tuned in to the message and thoughts trying to be conveyed by the band - those of change,decay,injustice and so on.Whether we choose to derive positive feelings from the music is more a product of our (the listeners) disposition.
Either way,this music will move you.
