One of the greatest musical recordings in existence, GY!BE's finest work and amazingly influential. The tracks do not come in the normal order, instead they are listed as "movements" and following in the good old post-rock fashion, are long as FUCK. Sleep is arguably (well, you'd have to argue me) the greatest GY!BE track, solely for Murray Ostril's soliloquy in the beginning, and the build up to Efrim just screwdrivering the guitar while the drums hammer out melodies akin to soldiers storming the beaches of Normandy. Bonechilling and awe-inspiring.
