just ordered this:
Explosions In The Sky couldnt have chosen a better band name for themselves. Their music soars, filled with atmospheric guitar lines, marching drums and elegiac melodies that ignite into walls of noise. Explosions In The Sky build sweeping soundscapes that offer increasingly spectacular vistas
Cinematic and evocative, listening to Explosions In The Sky is an incredibly moving experience, taking the listener on magical flights of musical fancy. Rolling and undulating drum beats and solid bass build the background for mesmerising guitar work which all works together to astonishing effect. The build-up will either drag out to the point where it feels like the listeners heart will jump out of their chest from anticipation or the finale breaks like a devastating tidal wave of sound.
What sets Explosions In The Sky apart from other instrumental-rock bands, such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor for example, is that the music comes from only four instruments. Their incredible sound is made by only two guitars, bass and drums the rock basics.
Although this is the debut UK release for Explosions In The Sky, this is in fact their second album. Their first record was released in the US on the Temporary Residence label and was only available on import in the UK. They came to be signed to the label thanks to the guys in The American Analog Set. The band sent in a cassette with a note attached that read: THIS TOTALLY F**KING DESTROYS! Not surprisingly, the label agreed

everytime I hear that, I wait, and wait, and anticipate........it's like Frankie Goes To Hollywood in philosophy, "Relax, don't do it..."

Halcyon is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. Simply astounding. I cannot say enough about it.
I wish they could make every song this good, as I find they are slightly hit or miss. But when they hit, oommmggggggg....

One Step More is one of the albums directly responsible for turning me into a post-rock junkie. The new album is out early next month, except in their native Japan where it might have already been released. Their US label is taking preorders now, $12 no shipping: www.temporaryresidence.com

Has anyone heard the new Mogwai? They played some tunes from it tonight and I was very impressed.

I downloaded it as a sample of listening to the band.. had no idea it wasn't released at the time though:S Anyways, it is very good I find, and a lot more rockier then every other song i have heard by them.Dick Sirloin said:Has anyone heard the new Mogwai?

There's also the coverart and one mp3 sample on the Mono website. Mono are by far the most important 'post rock' act to me, so I'm eagerly looking forward to purchasing the new album as well.

Yes...the song on the split, Yearning (which I believe I've heard through archive.org), is also on the new album.
