Glenn Branca The Ascension Part 1

[zazeify]

I wonder if Godspeed You! Black Emperor were listening to this guy?

Or even Kevin Shields?

[wilson2810]

i wonder where sonic youth get their ideas from

[HarryRhodes]

@wilson2810 Both Lee Rinaldo and Thurston Moore were in Glenn Branca's early ensembles, he started the label Neutral Records who put out SY's early stuff too.

Thank you.



[Phoenus11]

Fantastic. Anyone know how he makes these sounds apart from delayed guitar stuff?

[CultureFusionSite]

@Phoenus11 Massive amounts of guitars playing weird harmonies.

[Phoenus11]

@CultureFusionSite Thanks my friend. 

[BoyleJr]

jesus this is some awesome stuff from perhaps a lost genius of music

[Szaike]

Great track.

[TheBelva85]

Sounds to me like a total Fripp rip off. Now bash me.

[yanorei]

@TheBelva85 actually if you are serious then can you cite a couple of songs by him? I would really like to hear if that is the case.

[TheBelva85]

@yanorei They ain't songs, it's just like this stuff, he called it "Frippertronics" and he used a 70s tape delay to generateambient music with his guitar.

1- No pussyfooting from 1973

2- Evening star 1975

Enough to know what I'm talking about.

Sorry I sounded like an arse btw.

[wazza55able]

One of the greatest pieces of music ever made anywhere anytime!

[nowaverocker]
