Explosions In The Sky have come to the forefront of the post-rock genre.  Along with bands like Godspeed, You Black Emperor, Kinski, and Mono (as well a legion of others), these outfits have breathed new life into modern music by mixing the sensibilities of crafting soundtrack music, unconventional arrangements, and lots of mood with the raw power of guitar-based rock.  These bands blaze the trail and are doing what their progressive rock forebears were doing back in the '70s.

If you're interested in checking out what kind of intensity this band brings, especially in a live setting, you can start with this bootleg captured last summer at Central Park in New York.  Note:  this is a huge file size.  If you want to pick up individual tracks to peruse, you can proceed here to download.
