Godspeed you black emperor
I must say. This is one great sounding band. If you get the chance, download some of there tracks...
Great for just sitting back and getting that ambiant noise. just very very deep.

Let me be the naysayer here (somebody has to). I think their music is way too formulaic. In my opinion all you need is the Slow Riot EP. The pattern of crescendos and descrescendos seems to be on a grid, as each song follows it exactly.

In interviews they cite jazz influences, and while I'm no musicologist I definitely hear them...they are more about texture than pure structure/melody.
