Title: God is an Astronaut
Post by: Fireal1222 on Sep 18, 2007, 04:44 AM
im sure this is like the 3rd thread ive made on this band. but i feel that its my mission to help spread there name to fellow music lovers



thealbum. all is violent all is bright. speaks straight to my soul. it takes me to my happy and sad place


their newest album. far from refuge. is nothing like the first album. but yet its absolutely amazing in the same way



please check out this band if you havent


and if you had. post about how amazing they are. so i dont look like some cheeseball

where is the song playing from? its looks like they dont have a "player" embed on their profile like almost all other bands to.

from this one song alone, one that starts playing automatically, they sound pretty good.

something to just relax too
Title: Re: God is an Astronaut
Post by: Fireal1222 on Sep 18, 2007, 06:35 AM
there is a player. on the right hand side. scroll down a little bit


i believe u can play just about any of there songs on it...

i hope you enjoy it

Far From Refuge is quite a dissapointing album IMO. I've read so many good things about it but when I came to listen to it, it just didn't really do anything for me. I have a day off from work today so I'm gonna have a listen to All Is Violent proper...

Far From Refuge is my favorite album of theirs. The others just don't really affect me as much.

Are they ever gonna tour the states?
Title: Re: God is an Astronaut
Post by: Fireal1222 on Oct 03, 2007, 08:42 PM
i know they are going back to europe now to round up the tour. so u either missed it. or they went nowhere near where you live. i dont think they did a lot of dates over here.


i can't wait until they release another album. and they already released one this year.
Title: Re: God is an Astronaut

Title: Re: God is an Astronaut
Post by: black coffee on Oct 28, 2007, 08:05 PM
so I got to see god is an astronaut at this so-called "psychedelic festival"
(http://www.superadmusic.com/w2.jpg)
most people didn't seem to care much about them, which was good for me so I was able to stand in the first row and have a lot of space around me.

they played a good mix of All Is Violent.. and Far From Refuge material.  
the heavy parts were a lot heavier live, and they also did some jamming.. which was surprising, but interesting to hear.
I don't really know what else to say, to be honest. words can't describe what I've been through in the 60minutes GIAA have been on stage. I was standing there, smoking some weed and having the time of my life. then the lights went on, and I knew that it was over. I didn't want them to leave the stage anytime.

Didn't know the devil had wings.

I just like the silhouette with the green and purple. Looks cool. Seems like every live picture I've seen of them is a silhouette.

i just downloaded a couple of their albums (thanks again bright lights) and honestly its a little slow. its really good, but not really my style.

i'm more into math rock. errbody should check out Sleeping People- Growing. they are an amazing math rock/instrumental band. i've been listening to alot for about a year now. its rare when an album never gets old for me.

honestly. im dying to hear it. but it wont be a complete feeling until i actually have the packaging in my hands. ready to hear it for the first time


i must admit. ive been checking out a lot of there live stuff online. and the videos that they play in the background while they perform are truely amazing


i think my favorite is one i saw for fragile.

GIAA is playing. and behind them it is george bush speaking very slowly. and printed on the bottom of the screen is what he is saying. when bush says. "we will put our faith in a loving god" they start flashing to all these scenes of airstrikes and people being murdered in the iraq war.. its astonishing how awesome they are

what the hell is up with the new album. i dont know when its being released and im getting aggravated..


however. i did at least. order the end of the beginning. i was asking the guy at a local record store when the store would be releasing the new album. but he said the computer had no info about it... so i just ended up ordering the end of the beginning. i was gonna order all is violent all is bright as well. but it was going to be like 40 bucks since it was an import..

anyway.. if anybody knows when the physical release of the new GIAA album is gonna be. please let me know.

the band just officially released the first single from their new album " age of the fifth sun "

the name of the single is ' In The Fading Distance"

The Song is available on youtube for listen.. but you can download it for one dollar at www.godisanastronaut.com (http://www.godisanastronaut.com).. so i hope you guys will support them and spend the dollar..

i must admit. i am listening to the song right now for the first time, and you cant tell they are taking their music in another direction again.. kind of like how they did on the album far from refuge... anyway. so far it sounds very sad, but with an uplifting feel to it.. i like it

here is a link to watch an awesome live video of the song
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7RciwNblTk&feature=related#)

I really dig all of their albums, but I'd say my favorite 2 would have to be Far From Refuge, and The End of the Beginning.  I hope I get to see them live soon!
Title: Re: God is an Astronaut
Post by: bright lights, big city on Feb 14, 2010, 10:36 PM
End of the Beginning is my current favorite. but ask me again in a month and it could be different. love this band.

Title: Re: God is an Astronaut
Post by: Fireal1222 on Feb 17, 2010, 07:16 PM
their albums are kind of like how radiohead or tool albums are for me.. i love them all the same but 4 different reasons


all is violent, all is bright. is the album that made me connect with the band, i share some of my deepest memories with that album
the end of the beginning is my favorite album musically, like if i were on a ride with friends and wanted to show off GIAA's music, this is the album i would play
far from refuge is their saddest album in my opinion, they just sound like they made the album when they were really far from home
the newest album is absolutely incredible. it reminds me of all is violent all is bright but on steroids, lol

what do u guys thinks of the album. and im hoping most of you guys buy it, they can use the money
Title: Re: God is an Astronaut
Post by: black coffee on May 04, 2010, 02:59 PM
Did you buy any of their albums?
Title: Re: God is an Astronaut
Post by: Fireal1222 on May 04, 2010, 05:07 PM
i've had nothing but problems when trying to buy their records in the past. i had to go to my local record store to have the albums ordered, and then they got back to me a week later and said that they couldnt get the albums in, which was stupid..

so basically the internet was my way of getting their music, and yes i have. the reason i didnt use the internet in the first place is because i dont have a credit card, and my mom doesnt like me using hers over the internet. so i was beat for a while..


i do need to order this album however now that you said something. thanks for the reminder
Title: Re: God is an Astronaut
Post by: theis on May 04, 2010, 06:18 PM
Why not just order them from Amazon?
Title: Re: God is an Astronaut
Post by: black coffee on May 04, 2010, 06:40 PM
I didn't wanna come across the wrong way, but if I get the recommendation to spend my money on something, I might just return the question. I bought a t-shirt and all their cd's at except the Self-titled and I'm going to see them live next week where I am going to buy Age Of The Fifth Sun, probably the vinyl.
Title: Re: God is an Astronaut
Post by: Fireal1222 on May 17, 2010, 04:47 PM
i've been listening to age of the fifth sun for the last two days


so far, everytime GIAA release an album, i feel like they are going back to a previous album, and then adding to, or improving upon it.. for example. when i heard their self titled album, it felt like all is violent all is bright, but heavier and with even better production (if thats even possible)..

anyway. age of the fifth sun  reminds me ALOT of far from refuge. it def. a darker album with alot of piano being used.. its also a fairly short album even though it features some of the bands longest tracks... just the way the album flows from beginning to end it reminds me alot of far from refuge, which is a good thing

the album isnt the type of music that should blow you away on first listen.. instead it seems to keep you intrigued just enough so that you can listen to the album in full without feeling like your bored.. it def has the same dark feel as far from refuge, and i like that..

this album seems like its the one that will only get better with time. and so far, i already love it. this album will definetely keep GIAA my favorite band for a few more years

i saw them in philadelphia 2 weeks back, at a place called johnny brenda's.

the show was incredible. it was a small venue, so it was cool to pretty cool to have the band playing right in front of you. they played for about an hour and the setlist was good. i really enjoyed myself, and i got to speak with torsten for a few minutes after the show. i pretty much just thanked him for the band's music, since their music pretty much changed my life, and completely changed my taste in music.

the songs that they play from all is violent, all is bright, sounded amazing, i havent listened to that album in quite some time, so to hear it live, was a rush of different emotions. really awesome show.. you can watch the entire show on youtube. i was also thrilled that they played forever lost. torsten said before they played it, thats its one of his personal favorite songs, as its one of mine as well.

Dudes. :-(

GIAA is coming to Lithuania, and their management asked us (my old band, 'slowattack'), to play before them. And we can't because we don't really have the shape that we used to. After saying "sorry, no", they asked if we can play before MONO. I said. "Sorry, no". FML

well. to be fair, everything stands on my bfs education. and right now it seems that he might stay for 6 more years in this country to study radiology.. so... who the fuck knows, really. :-)

Indeed, wished I was always sticking to my plans ^^

But anywhere is good. I always wanted to get out of my city, I was so sick of it. Always the same streets, the same people. And when I moved to another town for a new job, all I wanted was to move back.

and while I am here, good idea to listen to some GIAA again.

lets waste this thread a little more,
so did you move back to the original town? I fear that this will happen after I move somewhere else :-)
Title: Re: God is an Astronaut
Post by: black coffee on Sep 11, 2012, 05:38 PM
We're ruining it big time ^^

About moving away, gladly not everyone is the same. For a creative guy like you Stockholm should be a good place to be. But who knows really? There's only one way to find out, after all.

So I lived in Hamburg, Germany for a year.
My best mate's brother lives in Hamburg, so thanks to him I met some cool folks, went out on weekends etc., so its not like every day after work I would be sitting alone in my apartment eating packet soup and thinking about home. This was a great and surely a livable city, but not home to me.

My then-girlfriend also annoyed me to death with her opportunistic bullshit all the time, so I couldn't talk about it with her. I missed my family and the town I was so sick of all those years, my hometown.
I fulfilled my one year contract, then lived at my Mum's place for a few months and got my own place afterwards.

I don't regret anything as this year was a good experience.
Took me long to accept that I was depressed, as well. So ever since I try to be more honest with myself. In the past when I was depressed, I would have gone for a run or to the gym, because I felt like if I am strong, problems will go away, and now I know its inevitable to deal with them. and if something has to be changed, and even if its a radical step, it has to happen for my own sake.

weirdest post in my years on Sharing Lungs. Cheers to all, I'm gonna have a nice cold Quilmes now and watch football!
