'F# A# ∞' marked the raw, spellbinding beginning of Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s recorded output. Captured in 1997 at the original Hotel2Tango studio on a rented 16-track tape machine, this debut album introduced the band as a sprawling quasi-orchestral collective crafting cinematic, apocalyptic soundscapes. The record merges haunting field recordings, droning atmospheres, and sorrowful instrumentation into a brooding, poetic narrative—anchored by the unforgettable spoken word opener “Dead Flag Blues,” sourced from an unfinished film by Efrim Menuck.

Originally released as a handmade vinyl edition limited to just 500 copies, 'F# A# ∞' quickly became a cult classic and has since been reissued multiple times while maintaining its original packaging aesthetics. It’s a fragile, yet towering testament to DIY ambition and sonic enormity—a post-rock cornerstone that paved the way for the band’s uncompromising trajectory and redefined what instrumental music could evoke. A requiem for the end times, beautifully unresolved.
