The most beautiful melody ever?

Stridently - nay, rampantly - off-topic, but I was there, and having never heard Mono before, I was very pleasantly surprised. Seeing as I would never hear Godspeed!You!Black!Emperor! [delete as applicable] play Yanqui UXO live, I was delighted to experience Mono performing something near-identical. Admittedly, I left early - but only because Mono didn't know when to stop. Note to the band: jaw-dropping, grin-inducing apocalyptic endings should be kept until the very end of the set, okay?

I've since heard some recorded Mono music... and let's just say it's a pale shadow of their live performance. Conversely, the treatment given to supporting band Jesu, in terms of sound and lighting, was appalling, and contributed to an experience that was a pale shadow of their monumental studio recordings.

But anyway, I'm now on a different continent topic-wise, so I'll shut up. Let the proposal of popular classical music used in films recommence! ;)

Yeah - I'd not heard any Jesu and I wasn't left with the best impression as all I heard was a wall of distortion and a repetitive drum rhythm! I stayed right until the end with Mono, it was absolutely awesome. Definately a lot better live, but the recordings are still very good.

I want GY!BE to reform for one more gig, preferably at Corp/Plug. And give first dibs on tickets to me :p
 
I'd forgotten how wonderful Sigur Ros are. Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása is definitely worthy of a mention.
