	Yanqui U.X.O. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This album marks the first release of the Canadian group after their small exclamation mark correction; it was moved to the end of the "you" in their name.
		This was apparently a move to make the band name more exact with its namesake.
		"Yanqui" is the Spanish word for "Yankee." The liner notes also refer to "Yanqui" as a "multinational corporate oligarchy", while "U.X.O." stands for unexploded ordnance (e.g., cluster bombs).

	* Dusted Reviews - Godspeed You! Black Emperor *
		The subsequent beginning of "motherfucker=redeemer" is one of Yanqui's most energetic and, indeed, lovely moments; a plaintive violin breaks through atop a towering wall of distorted guitar, bass, bells, and drums, elevating passionately and almost disintegrating before falling back down into restrained territory.
		yanqui is post-colonial imperialism is international police state is multinational corporate oligarchy.
		Yanqui U.X.O. is less melodic and more melodramatic than the group's previous works, but it carries just as much intrigue and impact.

	godspeed you black emperor!: Yanqui U.X.O. (2002): Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The band should be proud of Yanqui U.X.O. -- it proves that they're not hopelessly married to the fine-print details of their formula, and that they can still wring fresh ideas from familiar territory.
		Yanqui U.X.O. is the work of a band that has finally become confident in its popularity and influence.
		The tracks on Yanqui are content to continue building to bored, satiated endings we can see coming 20 minutes in advance.

		Yanqui fought and won seven times in 2004, his victory over Juan Carlos Gomez propelled the native of Pinar Del Rio, Cuba to prominence in boxing circles.
		Yanqui’s quest is a viable, recently receiving a vote of confidence from one of the world’s largest promotional companies Top Rank.
		Yanqui has risen in the heavyweight rankings during the last twelve months, but Peters will present a stiff challenge and only in defeating him will Yanqui get one step closer to his goal of becoming heavyweight champion.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Godspeed You Black Emperor: Yanqui U.X.O.
		Yanqui U.X.O. makes no attempt to dispense with GYBE's established "build slowly to a huge climax; repeat" formula, but it moves the group in a more orchestral direction.
		The "found" vocal segments that often introduced Godspeed songs, and functioned as de facto vocals in the maelstrom of cathartic instrumentation, are gone, leaving the music to speak for itself.
		The titular conceit, which addresses the unexploded ordnance (both literal and metaphorical) of post-millennial corporate culture, is an interesting reversal of the current spate of US anti-drug commercials that link drug traffic to terrorism; by giving your money to multinational entertainment corporations, GY!BE argues, you're actually funding high-tech weapons development.

		Let the year of the imperialist pigs pass and may the New Year be one in which imperialism, wherever it spreads its tentacles, is defeated.
		As we say goodbye to 2003 let us not forget about the thousands of working people in the third world and their family members who are murdered, tortured, beaten, imprisoned, raped, robbed, extorted, etc every day by yanqui imperialism?s goons.
		We will not support those who are willing to go wherever they are told to trample over the self-determination of the world?s working people, especially the working people of the third world.

	EvilSponge: Album: Yanqui U.X.O. by Godspeed You Black Emperor
		Which bothers me. Did all of those people like GYBE more for the fact that their music was (and still is, mind you) unlike the rest of the stuff out there, and less for the fact that the music was good and interesting?
		I say all of this because on the second track of Yanqui U.X.O., the cunningly titled Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls, GYBE seem to have come pretty close to the really good contemporary classical stuff.
		The songs still swell into a frenzy of guitar and violins and thundering drums (the presence of Albini's production on this disc is felt in the sheer wonderfulness and power of the drums!).

	INVASION YANQUI: The Mexican War, 1846-1848
		Another reason to remember is the hope that an understanding of the past may shed light upon the character of the modern Southwest with its pride, its prejudices, its diverse cultures that often jostle but do not easily intermingle, its profound mistrust of federal government, and its impatience with the genteel process of negotiation.
		In fact, an impulsive Yanqui, Commodore Thomas Ap Catesby Jones, had invaded the California port of Monterey in 1842 and forced the Mexican governor to surrender, before learning that the two nations were not yet at war.
		This time it is they who challenge the Yanquis: for economic opportunity, for individual rights and liberties, and for tolerance of their cultural differences.

	Yanqui U.X.O. by Godspeed You Black Emperor CD
		From the bombs dropping on the cover to the slow buildups towards destruction and post-rock beauty in the compositions, this is Godspeed You Black Emperor at its most stripped-down, straightforward, and unsparing.
		Indie-rock icon Steve Albini produced YANQUI U.X.O., and his trademark extreme dynamics suit this shadowy Canadian collective well, weighing down on the roots of their whisper-to-frenzy style so they can freely branch off into new realms.
		At it's calmest YANQUI U.X.O is the sound of heavy grey/yellow rainclouds looming, but when it rains it pours fire and brimstone in astonishingly effective outbursts of thrashing noise harmonics.

	Godspeed You! Black Emperor: Yanqui U.X.O. [2002] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
		On that front, Yanqui U.X.O. succeeds in spots, when the group dynamics are at full power, and fails in others, when the group dynamics get overly repetitive and predictable.
		One unique aspect about Yanqui U.X.O. is the lack of interesting found sounds or recordings of manic street preachers and various individuals spouting theories about America as a third world country, and all of us being trapped inside the belly of a horrible machine bleeding to death.
		That's not necessarily a bad thing, except that it ensures that Yanqui U.X.O. will ultimately be remembered more for its inflammatory liner notes, despite claims to the contrary by band members that "it's all about the music." Regrettably the group's poorly-thought-out-and-distributed political stance reveal otherwise.

		In spite of all the very kind VH ratings, I felt like I d ripped the wings off a butterfly, by attempting to scale the monstrous size of the whole things into the random time indexes given by the liner notes (which I suspect are deliberately misleading, by the way).
		Two years on from that release comes Yanqui U.X.O., and in spite of the new location of the exclamation mark by the artists formerly known as Godspeed You Black Emperor!, little has...
		'Yanqui' is more concise than their previous record, 'Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven', and has all the melodic riffs of their first record, 'F#A# Infinity'.

	Album Review:Godspeed You! Black Emperor-Yanqui U.X.O (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Of course, while the Yanqui U.X.O. ’s political rock has its moments of frenzied protest in the form of airborne Molotov cocktails, the suites we’re given are at times content with their own states of ambience.
		It’s challenging—as there is little doubt that people have and will call the last ten atmospheric, bare minutes unnecessary and melodramatic—but it is no less emotionally disaffecting.
		Black Emperor becoming dangerously comfortable with the soft-loud-soft-loud dynamic, and while curve balls like ambient segues and noise are welcome curveballs, it can’t go on for much longer.

	Grupo Yanqui
		On their self-titled debut CD, Grupo Yanqui skillfully balances co-leaders Gregory Ryan and Bennett Paster's inspired compositions, drawing from Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and American traditions and influences, with their Latin-tinged arrangements of standard gems.
		The addition of NYC drummer Rob Garcia and Israeli percussionist Gilad broadened the multi-ethnic dimensions of Grupo Yanqui.
		Grupo Yanqui defies simple classification- it's Latin Jazz; it's world groove; it's energetic, exciting modern music which brings together the strengths of diverse individuals into a "grupo" unlike any other.

		So I went to Frankfurt to buy "Yanqui U.X.O.", their latest output.
		Unpacking the disc with anticipation I was wondering how a band could give so less information.
		As I read about GYBE I first thought that it might be a bit to longbreathed for me but "Yanqui U.X.O." belied me in this point.

		Their clever and obtuse packaging has always done their work for them, but in the past, they have also relied on field recordings and spoken-word snippets to break through a drone or a cacophony and shock the listener into a realization.
		With "Yanqui U.X.O.," the band have largely abandoned the samples and made a record that sounds as apolitical as its packaging is defiant.
		Working with Steve Albini (who also added a violent sheen to Mogwai's later offerings), Godspeed deliver five tracks of sweet violin sweeps and lilting guitars that give way to disturbing soundscapes of feedback and distortion.
