Erstes Album dieses 13 köpfigen Ensembles aus Montreal, bei dem wohl auch alle GODSPEED – Mitglieder dabei sind und viele weitere des gesamtem CONSTELLATION-Umfelds... musikalisch bewegt sich SET FIRE TO FLAMES in ähnlichen Gefilden wie GODSPEED oder A SILVER MT ZION, ist aber insgesamt experimenteller und gemächlicher; gekonnt verbinden sie hier field recordings & experimentell-improvisierte Geräuschphasen mit sehnsüchtigen Akustikguitar & Streicher-Instrumentalparts... “ set fire to flames is a collective of thirteen musicians from the musical community of Montreal who gathered together to create a recording over a five day period in the summer of 2000. Brooding and beautiful, haunted and haunting, sings reign rebuilder is so stunningly / lovingly played and skillfully assembled, infused throughout with a massive sense of slow-burning tension and periods of weighty, rousing release” [label info] “ Halfspeed! You Grey Bureaucrat. Something like 6 members of this 13 piece ensemble are part of Godspeed! You Black Emperor, and Set Fire To Flames does little to hide their connection to that band, producing the same theatrical crescendos for glide guitars and string quartets, and found spoken word elements backed by dark drones. While this is obviously nothing new, Set Fire To Flames have produced an album that is way better than the last Godspeed album, "Raise Your Skinny Fists..." Definitely for fans who can't get enough of GSYBE!, A Silver Mt. Zion, etc.” [Aquarius Records]
