http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwGVNPcYjOQ Godspeed You! Black Emperor (formerly punctuated Godspeed You Black Emperor!) is a Canadian post-rock band based in Montreal, Quebec.
Formed in 1994, the ensemble has been quite influential in its genre, with bands from as far as Hong Kong and Singapore citing them as influences in their musical work. Working on a near orchestral scale, the nine-piece group has been known to create wide dynamic ranges, unique use of instrumentation and sounds, large songs that are composed almost classically with multiple movements within themselves, and engrossing use of art and visuals in both their album packaging and live performances. They are currently on an indefinite hiatus, as members of the band are busy with many other projects.

aidossays...I love these guy more than words can express - who wouldn't with lyrics like "We are trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death."
I watched all the GY!BE stuff on youtube before finally settling on the thermonuclear detonations. This one is lovely too.
Man, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'll trade the little finger on my left hand to see these guys live.

My very absolutely favorite moment on any Godspeed Album. We used to get high and listen to this band all the freaking time.
