Pickup currently unavailable at Shop Address
180gm vinyl!
Godspeed’s debut full-length remains a haunting cornerstone of post-rock: an apocalyptic suite of strings, drones, and field recordings that feels both cinematic and deeply human. Recorded at Montreal’s original Hotel2Tango, F♯ A♯ ∞ drifts through desolate cityscapes and collapsing dreams, its slow-burning movements unfolding like a requiem for a world in decay. A fragile, visionary beginning that defined the band’s sound and ethos.
LP jacket made from 80lb. burgundy textured uncoated cardstock with blind embossed front cover text. Three different front cover images (train, water tower, highway lights) are hand-glued on the front cover (original first run of 500 featured black and white darkroom prints; subsequent editions are offset printed).
Back covers are individually hand-drawn with illuminated cross icon and catalogue number and are hand-stamped with Constellation logo; all in silver ink.
Inserts include a penny crushed on Montreal railroad tracks, blueprint album graphic and notes, credit sheet and reproduction of an early GY!BE show handbill - all placed inside a plain manila envelope (original first run of 500 featured acetone transfers hand-printed on each envelope).
Additional 8"x8" insert card of train locomotive image silkscreened in various colours on various recycled papers over the years.
