Needless to say, I was not well versed in the language of instrumental music. How Strange, Innocence was a find introduction. Soon after listening, I purchased F#A#(Infinity) by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Those two cds combined were the bait and hook that dragged me into the world of post-rock. The cd starts off with the emotionally hard hitting "A Song For Our Fathers". The bassline slowly weaves in and out of the song, between hills of feedback, compressed drums, and a crescendo that unexpectedly breaks, only to go into the cds perhaps heaviest moment. The next track, "Snow And Lights", lays out just like the title suggests. The cold guitars overlapping the over-the-top compressed drums, slowly building and coming to noisy climax that embodies the emotions of a winter storm. The cd's final track "Remember Me As A Time Of Day" showcases the band's strength without any real words (Pardon the pun) at all. Between the layers of clean guitars, the drums that somehow manage to overpower the whole song into a rythmic masterpiece, the atmospheric pick slides, the song is perhaps one of Explosions in the Sky's most memorable songs.
