Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Steve Reich (both versions combined)

None of the music is mine, it all belongs to its rightful owners, etc.

It's a fucking shame that this never got a studio recording. Truly one of the most beautiful pieces from this era of godspeed.

[@caseystu123]

gotta love the conflicting 3/4 & 7/8 guitar riffs. I dont remember them ever doing this in other songs but now Im gonna relisten to see.

[@geoffroyclop]

This is why it’s named after composer Steve Reich, by playing two riffs at different tempo/time signature, they obtain something called Phasing, something his whole early career was based on, first tape loop works and then full on orchestral pieces experimenting on this sonic phenomenon.

How I wish that these ended up on an album... they capture the feeling of cosmic loneliness.

[@KommentarSpaltenKrieger]

sounds like something that could have figured in "yanqui u.x.o"
