Godspeed You! Black Emporer - F#A# Infinity


Only when i came back to this album around 6 months after purchase did i really sink my teeth into it properly. And i am glad that i persisted with it. Ominous and harrowing soundscapes build into an apocolyptic sonic attack. The first track is probably the scariest of the three involving a found sound recording of a man narrating what seems to be the end of the world - and oh my does the music reflect this brilliantly.

Each song consists of a few sections that either build up to a climactic peak or wither away with drones and repititive soundlogs. No matter which way it goes GY!BE tend to take you from serene beauty and horrific darkeness. This is a must have.
