F# A# (Infinity) (CD)
F#A# Infinity was the culmination of Godspeed's evolution into a large ensemble. By early 1997, the band had taken shape as a quasi-orchestral outfit involving most of the current players and had mounted a number of live performances combining multiple film projections with sense-rattling sonics. The recording of F#A# Infinity took place at their loft (Hotel 2 Tango) on a rented 16-track four-track recordings and material from the band's archive of field recordings. The opening monologue on Side A (Dead Flag Blues) is taken from "Incomplete Movie About Jail," an unfinished film written by Efrim.

| It's late in the century and there are times in which you may feel that everything has already been said in rock music. Maybe that's why GSYBE don't sing a note. How refreshing to have a band that creates a wide realm of emotions from instruments alone. Some prose in "The Dead Flag Blues" declares "kiss me, for these are truly the last days." But in the end, the slow rhythm and weeping violin that make you believe it. Remarkable... | |

| I wish other bands could come close to the genius of GSYBE.You would have to have something wrong with your heart if you wish to not buy this albulm. | |

| Imagine an apocalyptic version of bands like Rachel's or Labradford. You can draw comparisons to all sorts of post-rock bands, as well as composers like Ennio Morricone and Peter Thomas, but those are just landmarks. GYBE!'s sound is vast and sprawling, and often harrowing. It's the soundtrack for a doomsday sermon. And despite all of its gloominess, there's a strong beauty and emotional element as well. There's a reason why this band has got so much hype. A very good reason. | |
