Just like your comments. Radio Paradise comment boards are not censored so anybody can comment on Radio Paradise, even those like you, who are so thoroughly mistaken.

It definitely is ambient... not so sure about the rock part... it's still very cool.

What I didn't realise, until I looked on last.fm for their works, is that this band hail from Wicklow:

"God Is an Astronaut are an instrumental three piece hailing from the Glen of the Downs, Co. Wicklow, Ireland. They formed in 2002 and released their debut album The End of the Beginning the same year on their own Revive Records label. Their two music videos for PlayThe End of the Beginning and PlayFrom Dust to the Beyond, received airplay on MTV UK and on other MTV European networks."

Just down the road from where I was brought up, in Bray. Who'd have thought something so interesting would come out of somewhere so mundane as Wicklow :o)

GiaA are really quite astonishing, and I've yet to hear a duff track from them. Many are disturbing and frightenting in a quiet, minimalist way.

{#Bananapiano} Yay, RP piano tunes. I always dig it!  Doesn't Bill play a song called "God is an Astronaut" too, by another band?

Seamless segue from Vienna Teng's Watershed - smoother than mercury on glass, and that's smooth. Every time I hear a God Is An Astronaut track I get goose pimples, and this is no exception. Smooth, crisp minimalism, with underlying hints of menace and tragedy (doncha just love minor keys?). I really, really must get one of their CDs, for verily they art the bollocks of the dog. 8 from the Nottingham jury.

Wonderful segue from Vienna Teng's Watershed. 
And it's nice to hear something other than "Remembrance Day" from them.  It is nice, in a film score sort of way.
