Advantages: Experimental, groundbreaking, indie-orchestral fusion Disadvantages: Very unusual.
GodspeedYouBlackEmperor are a musical ensemble/group from Canada, and as Radarmaker writes in a previous opinion, they have unusual social habits and a preference for communication by email.
This two track EP is a real gem, developing their groundbreaking use of traditional orchestral instruments and some of the more emotive themes in recent indie music. I can think of no real comparison for this band. Perhaps if you were to take the darkness and emotion of some of the more way out Radiohead tracks, or maybe a band like Sigur Ros, you may be a little way to a comparison. Maybe depressed indie trip-hop would be a better description. Yet their experimental use of instruments smacks of the innovation of Hendix and co, or even a more tuneful version of Provokiev's unique 'Symphony for the victims of Hiroshima'.

Advantages: one of the greatest bands in the world. Disadvantages: 30 minute songs may annoy some people.
a statement or a meaning to such music as its beauty and the emotion pouring out of the instruments is reason enough to believe in.

Advantages: Beautifully crafted music that can challenge and move Disadvantages: sometimes they lose themselves
GodspeedYou! BlackEmperor, hailing from Montreal, are a curious band; brilliant and bland by turns. This may sound an odd statement but I find it?s true. Yanqui UXO is brilliant. I mean from the first moment brilliant. The whole album, consisting of 3 mammoth tracks, are just sublime. The album is a work of genius; I?m not kidding. Every note, every inflection and sound is taut with emotion. Though the tracks last 20 minutes (approx) apiece they?re flawless, magnificent pieces of music. I?ve sat at my desk at work while listening to this and wanted to cry so much that I was amazed that I didn?t. It?s stunningly powerful and almost unbearable emotive.
Have a got my point across?
