What's the music during the credits of Fahrenheit 9/11?

Does anyone know the music used on the credits for Fahrenheit 9/11? It sounds like Godspeed You! Black Emperor but I don't think it is. The credits themselves say music by Jeff Gibbs, but I’ve not had any luck with that. Help please!

Seemingly not. Thanks though, fvw.

This probably isn't what you were referring to, but: during the 9/11 montage, the music was Arvo Pärt's Cantus in Memoriam of Benjamin Britten. There's a brief one-minute sample on the Amazon page. I don't remember it playing over the final credits, but it does sound something like GY!BE, so I figured I'd mention it.

Sidetracking, but.. in the cinema I went to, they played rockin in the free world before the movie as well as in the credits. did that happen anywhere else?

Yeah, now that you mention it, ascullion, "Rockin' in the Free World" was playing over the final credits. I don't remember it playing beforehand, though.

You might find something helpful in the adtunes.com forums. In the movie soundtrack forum, the front page alone has several references to the film. Good luck!

Johnny Assay: Thanks! I also wanted that song but forgot about it when I got preoccupied by this quest.

ascullion: When I saw it they only played it once, in the end credits, as I remember.

Bookchika: Thanks a lot. Very helpful; this guy seems to have the same problem as me. Sadly no one's bee able to help him yet :/

Great song that gives the opening credits a really creepy tone. Hope to find out too, soon.
