Explosions in the sky to the rescue?
« on: 21 Dec 2006, 09:48 »

Does anyone have a copy of The Rescue?

I could'nt get a copy, not being signed up for the travels in constants but I've heard some pretty great things and since Jeph recomended it here I thought that someone on this forum might have it and be willing to make a copy or know of some other way for me to obtain one.

Thanks in advance

I would say if you were a remarkably loose, widespread collection of molecules, and possibly some kind of evil wizard had packed you into a very dense form, and sent you on a plane to travel the skies in your horrible prison for a hundred years, an explosion in the sky might be just the thing you're hoping for.


Right?!?

That is more of an aerial conflagration.

A 'fire in the sky' if you will.

Dude, you can download The Rescue for free from the Explosions in the Sky website.  Its only in 192 kbps mp3, but its better than nothing.  The Rescue kicks ass.

Soulseek is pretty easy once you get it downloaded... But the website is probably much easier, and much quicker.

Man that movie was awful.

Aerial Conflagration would be a good name for an awful post-rock band.

But did she paint said fire across the sky?

Man, I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate Parts 1, 2, and 3 into that but it just doesn't work.

That movie seriously freaked me out. Because of it, I can't sleep unless I can't see one little bit of outside at all from the window. And even then sometimes I get scared of being abducted.

Does Aerial Conflagration need a gong-banger? or pop bottle flutist? I also can look really intense whilst clapping.

The band needs as many random instrumentalists as possible, all dressed in identical, but heavily worn, business suits, maybe with a little dust on them and whatnot. If nothing else I think we need enough musicians to do a twenty minute long, completely un-funny cover of 'The Intro and the Outro' by The Bonzo Dog Doo-Da Band.

Aerial Conflagration will win. What other band has a rhythm guitarist who plays his guitar with another guitar?

Also, there are more pedals than amps. So many pedals that two world champion twister players are employed to step on them at the right time.

I warn you, that I pretty much 'prepared' that piano by dumping half a ton of broken glass in it and then blasting it with a fire hose whilst singing old Alice Cooper songs.

I like the idea of the organ being somehow hooked up to a collection of crazed manics, their mad shrieking and wailing controlled at whim by the keyboard virtuoso.

Although I am not certain how well that would fit in with their post-rock motif, but I think its worth a try.

Really this band is like the dark side of BW&TA.

Also, Khar, I'm perfectly fine with that. Ping-pong balls and spoons are for wusses.

They would be very quiet maniacs. Played on 1. Fed through 17 wah-wah pedals.


Also, we need some post-rock pyrotechnics. So, slow and epic. For example: the lead guitarist wears a pair of trousers made from cigarette papers (rolled invidually for each show by a dedicated team of proffessional stoners). In the middle of one song, he gets a very epic, majestic, emotional 9 minute long guitar solo at the start of which is trousers ignite from the crotch and slowly burn away throughout.

Another option for stage theatrics would be to just put on a tape of say, four of our songs, then all go on stage dressed in leather jackets and play dead kennedys, bad brains and SOD covers complete with stage dives and inter-band moshing, but without our instruments or mics plugged in.

Just the tape playing.
