Full credit to ZzubEvol for doing such a superb job of recording what is not exactly the easiest band in the world to capture. I was so happy to find a recording of from what many people have said, was one the very best performances that GY!BE have given during this historic reunion tour. I haven't done much in the way of mastering as it was already such a good recording. Stunningly powerful with crystal clear cymbals & thunderous drums & guitar this really is one of those special concerts so I must again say thanks to the Taper for their effort & kindness in sharing this extraordinary concert.

1st thing 1st. Thanks SO very much to Thorazine & Chris without whom this post would not have been possible.

Words can't really express the awesome! :) As you can imagine Im very excited about this post, the first new Godspeed we have seen for years. I hope you'll agree its been worth the wait. Nothing of the epic potency has been lost from these masters of Post Rock. As usual Ive mastered this to give something of the 'feel' of actually being at a Godspeed concert.

Again, if I may suggest setting your EQ to zero to begin and changing it to your personal taste if need be. (Tapers notes included in download)

01 Drone (Intro)

Joanna Newsom - 1st Unitarian Church, Philadelphia 2006.11.16 VIDEO

Absolutely stunning 116 minute video of Joanna Newsom & her band from 2006. It took me a while to get into Joanna's music but at the insistence of a friend I kept listening and now she is one my favourite musicians & lyricists. She is totally enchanting to watch and thanks to 'Schlacking's' stella work we now have this opportunity.

Kjartan Sveinsson - Credo & Cage a Swallow Can't You But You Can't Swallow A Cage - 2010.11.15 - World Premiere - Web Cast

I don't really know what to say about this performance because if I start to write about how extraordinarily beautiful I found it I would be here all night! Performed by the 'Latvian National Choir' The Worldless Music Orchestra' and conducted by Jeffrey Milarsky

As with the Riceboy Sleeps below, although this sounds wonderful there is some evidence of audio artefacts due to the nature of the fact it was streamed over the internet and as such there will be (I hope!) a better recording coming soon. However, in the mean time please enjoy this wonderful piece of music from someone whom I believe will soon become known as an accomplished and renowned classical composer

~Final full quality versions of Riceboy Sleeps & Kjartan Sveinsson posted above~

Also featuring the sublime 'Hilliard Ensemble' - 'Cage a Swallow Can't You But You Can't Swallow A Cage' 5 Sonnets featuring the poems of Anne Carson.

Jónsi - Brand New Song 11.11.10

In a word...Beautiful. I really love the direction a lot of these recent songs that Jónsi has sung for only one or two shows are going. They seem softer than 'Go' more comfortable and mature. Sounds to me like there has been some sort of natural growth of three different types of songs: the songs from 'Go' itself which are very much Nico Muhly influenced, there are the original songs that Jónsi wrote acousticaly and now perhaps a new direction that these new songs that have been appearing in recent months may well signify?
