Thanks, you have introduced me to tortoise. I like this, but I don't know what direction to run in. Alot of music groups have their beautiful exteriors to lure listeners in, with deep and confusing organs that don't make as much sense until you find the core and work your way outward.
Yeah I first head this by GY!BE, but then when I was like "Wth album is this from?" it turned out to be by Tortoise. This song is great, but it does have a different feel than GY!BE so I'm not surprised.
weird, when i first heard this song, it was by godspeed you black emperor, it was even longer in their version, i really like tortoise tho, but who made the song first? or is it just a misinterpertation? -_-;
@tazorama787 It seems a lot of people (including myself) thought this was by GY!BE. I only jsut now realised that it is Tortoise thanks to WinAmp's autotag.
Awesome. First saw this on MTV's "Amp" 10 yrs ago, which was a great show...some of the best and most unique videos I've ever seen. Anyway...never forgot this video. Amazing album as well.
Yeah man I'm fucked off about this too because the video for this song is 40% of the reason I bought A Lazarus Taxon (I know the full length video exists out there somewhere).
wow. i hope i wasn't the only one happy to get just a taste? it could be worse and not even be on youtube. some of this stuff gets pulled right quick.
what the fuck!? i heard this on my friend's burned cd that was filled with explosions in the sky and godspeed you black emperor... up until now i always thought this was one of those bands but apparently it's tortoise...
First heard them in 1996. I was going to sleep at a friends house, and he put this on. I couldn't believe where it took me. Needless to say, I didn't go to sleep until the album was done! Some of the BEST music ever made.
I discovered the band the same way you did, I only saw the video once, and the first time I saw the CD, I bought it... I hadn't seen the video til now, it drives me literally ten years back. THANKS A LOT!!!
Awesomeness~ loves it~~

GY!BE rules, though. Probably my favorite band.

Doesn't really sound like them at all. Maybe it could be mistaken for a To Rococo Rot track, but it's not electronic/cold enough.
