On their 30th Anniversary the church continue to redefine what it is to be a band, evolving without compromise into one of the world's most acknowledged rock groups. Guiding the band though the '80s and '90s with a combination of chemistry, talent and a desire for excellence, their unique and distinctive guitar sounds and thought-provoking lyrics have succeeded in inspiring both the audience and the critics' imagination the world over. In recent years the band have continued on their creative trajectory and with their induction into the 2010 ARIA Hall Of Fame, they have been able to reflect on their huge body of work as they continue to be prolific and pursue their artistic aspirations both live and in the studio.
From the debut album Of Skins and Heart (including their first hit The Unguarded Moment) to the artistically and commercially successful Starfish, charting high in both Australia and the USA, (featuring the ubiquitous Under The Milky Way and guitar driven Reptile), through to 2009′s lush, organic masterpiece Untitled #23, lead vocalist and bassist Steve Kilbey, guitarists Peter Koppes and Marty Willson-Piper and drummer Tim Powles (now an active member of the band for 17 years), have continued as the church through three whole decades to pleasure their fans with a unerring sense of space, melody, beat driven prose and sonic charm.
Rolling Stone Australia gave their last album Untitled #23 an unprecedented 5 star review -- "a stunningly ambitious album of shimmering rock". In the USA Rolling Stone commented, "the church have truly reaffirmed themselves as one of the world's leading melodic art-rock bands, regarded by critics as "a powerful, progressive force in rock music", playing "the most ethereal sounds this side of paradise" and have remained one of the world's most innovative and enigmatic groups justifying praises from the press including "Best guitar band on Earth", "Sonic perfection", "Sounds that caress the senses". "A masterpiece of stealth".

This song is one of the best ever recorded . The reason I say this . Because its one of those incredibly special songs that gives you a certain feeling when you hear it that you only feel from hearing it .

[@qunamaxamus2425]

This is one of those songs that you just can't believe is possible to be made by humans, it's not about the rhythm, not about melody or voice, it's about like the whole freakin song is soundtrack of your waking and dream life.

This sonic tapestry always sounds fresh, with rich layers...No matter how Steve sings it, no matter how Peter plays the solo, how the band weaves the magic in its mysterious, Shimmering, mesmerizing, empathy inducing quality... It somehow captures you each time. ...Leaves you waiting for more, always.

I would say better imo.

[@1LaOriental]

joe22589 The Church has to date 25 studio albums with an incredibly wide range of songs from the bizarre, chaotic and psychedelic beauty of Day Of The Dead; Chromium; Vanishing Man; Anesthesia; Lunar and Trance Ending, just to name a small handful, to the melodic beauty of Two Places At Once; After Everything, Now This and straight up great rockers like Space Saviour and their new wave, jangly early stuff. Again 25 albums and I just mentioned a handful of songs. They have consistently put out great music for over 40 years and still going.

[@russwhaley]

I was working late night FM radio in the late 80s when this song came out. Every time it came up in rotation, I had to just stop and listen. Still feels that way.

[@JWS79621]

I was late on the "Church scene" and came in during Starfish. It was a brilliant piece of work and I couldn't get enough of Kilbey's voice paired with the amazing, ethereal guitar work and precision percussion. Starfish always has a special place in my heart and is a timeless work. This Sydney concert was phenomenal proving that the boys still have their craft under fine control after all these years. If only but in a dream to have been there...

[@amerishape]

🎶 Enveloped in Celestial Melodies: The Church's "Under The Milky Way" Live in Sydney 🎶 In the heart of Sydney, a musical journey into the cosmos unfolded as The Church delivered an enchanting live rendition of "Under The Milky Way." This iconic performance, captured by Moshcam, is a testament to the enduring allure of the song and the band's ability to transport audiences to a realm of ethereal beauty.From the first resonant chord, the audience is transported to a dreamscape that seems to exist beyond the confines of time and space. The haunting intro sets the stage for a sonic exploration that mirrors the song's title-a journey under the cosmic canopy. As the vocals begin, Steve Kilbey's voice weaves a delicate tapestry of emotion, infusing every lyric with a sense of introspection and mystery.The live setting adds a layer of intimacy to the performance, as the connection between the band and the audience becomes palpable. The atmospheric melodies intertwine seamlessly with the backdrop of the Sydney scene, creating an immersive experience that captures both the essence of the song and the energy of the live performance. "Under The Milky Way" is a song that seems to transcend genres and eras, existing in a space of timelessness. In this live rendition, The Church captures the song's essence while adding new dimensions through their on-stage chemistry and improvisational touches. The instrumental arrangements ebb and flow like the tides of the ocean, creating an atmosphere that is at once serene and emotionally charged. As the song reaches its crescendo, the audience is left hanging in the balance between the earthbound and the celestial. The interplay between guitars, bass, and drums creates a symphonic climax that is nothing short of breathtaking. The combination of sound and visuals becomes an experience that is both immersive and cathartic, leaving an indelible mark on the souls of those fortunate enough to witness it. "Under The Milky Way" Live in Sydney is not just a performance-it's a cosmic voyage, an exploration of emotions, and a testament to the power of music to connect us to something larger than ourselves. The Church's ability to capture the essence of this timeless song while infusing it with new energy reaffirms their status as true musical pioneers. In a world where moments of musical transcendence are rare, this performance stands as a beacon of inspiration-a reminder that through the universal language of music, we can journey to the farthest reaches of our imagination, guided by the celestial melodies of The Church. 🎵🌌

[@obscuritystunt]

niaralosusa I came here to see exactly that! Was good, but didn't sound quite like the album.

[@LumpyFat]

+youtubkeeper They're actually fairly easy to use, but just like most other guitar techniques, it takes a lot of practice to use it well, and because of the nature of how it works, it's difficult to use consistently, if that makes any sense. If you play guitar I'd highly recommend picking one up because of how much fun they are!

The best thing about this? You can see how the acoustic is REALLY played. I've seen bad tabs and videos. It's the capo at the 5th fret that's the key to this riff, since there is a high note on the 1st string on the 4th chord.
