MP3 of the Moment

Artist: Godspeed You Black Emperor!
Album: Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada
Song: Moya
Genre: Post-Rock

Hands down, this is the greatest post-rock song ever. The climax at 8:27 almost made me wreck my car when I first heard it, and I'm not kidding.

Buy It!

MP3 of the Moment

Artist: Nitrada
Album: We Don't Know Why But We Do It
Song: Old Love, New Idea
Genre: Electronic

I think my friend Brian will love this song. It's off an almost-impossible-to-purchase-in-America album by a German dude who makes music under the name Nitrada.

Great stuff, and the album is full of diversity; almost no two song sound alike. Definitely recommended.

MP3 of the Moment

Artist: The Mars Volta
Album: Frances The Mute
Song: Cygnus....Vismund Cygnus: A. Sarcophagi/B. Umbilical Syllables/C. Facilis Descenus Averni/D. Con Safo
Genre: Magic

Was their first record amazing? Yes. Transcendental? Hard to argue with that. Was their second record a disappointing noise-fest? Yes. But there's still no denying this song. This song is full of so very many moments....the central breakdown and build is among the best things that The Mars Volta have ever done....I just can't get over the depth of that build....and the transition at 8:24 is worthy of metal.

I'm sorry, but this song is as good as anything they've ever done. First record included.
