The complete Explosions in the Sky

I just bought the double-disc version of the new Explosions in the Sky last night, so I thought I would upload their whole discography for you. They are one of the best post-rock groups around right now, and they're kind of refreshing because they stick to guitar, bass, and drums with the occasional string or piano part thrown in. They're not wildly experimental like some bands in the genre (Godspeed You! Black Emperor comes to mind), and a lot of their more recent material falls in the 2 to 7 minute range, which should make them more accessible to people who aren't used to listening to super-long instrumental pieces. It may be formulaic, but Explosions in the Sky are exceptional at what they do. They have left me breathless on a few occasions, because of the beauty and power contained on their albums. Enjoy.

The Rescue EP is available on the Explosions in the Sky website so I've just added direct links to the MP3s.

There are three songs on the Friday Night Lights soundtrack that aren't by Explosions in the Sky, but I included them anyway in case people were interested in them. They're also good songs.

They had a track exclusive to a compilation their record label put out, so I just upped that track apart from the rest of the compilation.
