LIFT YOUR SKINNY FISTS LIKE ANTENNAS TO HEAVEN

Listening to that CD for the first time, I was just blown away, since I had never heard anything like that before. It has a very dark sound produced by great guitar, strings and percussion (drums and glockenspiel mainly). Every song starts off very quietly (except for the 4th one which has a country-like beginning) and gathers energy for huge crescendos that lead to a final point where most of it is released again.

The whole thing is unbelievably beautiful and it's actually one of the few CDs that really move the listener (or at least me..). It includes nice melodies which then build up for a great "final" (not at the end of the songs though!) with all 9 people playing.

Even though this music is quite hard to get into (it has long parts which may seem boring when u listen to it for the first timr, and which still bore me sometimes...) and even though the sound does not really differ comparing the 4 songs (and i think that wasnt a goal by the artists anyways), I just have to give this album 5 stars, I have never heard a more beautiful kind of music before. Everybody needs to have at least one of GY!BEs CDs.... just to get known to this unique, modern sound and to see that there are still musicians that are not influenced by labels or the mainstream-industry and that are able to tell their message just by making music, not including vocals or appearing a lot in the media. That is real art, totally essential! ---> 5 stars, 95%
