Released: Jan 1998
Label: Kranky
Aside from their very first release -- a cassette of which only 33 copies were made (!) -- F# A# (Infinity) ("F sharp, A sharp") is Godspeed You! Black Emperor's debut. It consists of only three songs, each stretching over 15 minutes and marked by the GYBE trick of creating meticulously constructed, deeply complex music that somehow retains humanity with its emotional accessibility. But they don't let you forget they are still a rock band (go 14 minutes into "Providence"). The vinyl version of this ends with a locked groove, a never-ending loop that explains the "infinity" in the album title.
