As someone that only listened to them anew last year, the post-hiatus material has no real disconnect from the pre-hiatus material in all honesty, I still think Raise is their best album but it is mighty, mighty close. As these gigs have proved.

Didnât play much old stuff when I saw them a few years back but Asunder Sweet and Other Distress is probably my favourite and they played that in its entirety, along with Mladic, so I was happy with that.

Whatever they play, in a live capacity, it is going to be good, well, better than good.
Aye, theyâve still got it. Enjoyed that very much.

Wouldâve definitely gone for that set list
Iâve probably seen them 30-40 times over the last the last 24 yearsâŠâŠ
This was probably the best timeâŠ. Absolutely sublime from start to finish

Think this inspired the Yanqui UXO label map artwork?

Definitely a strong resemblance - that style may have influenced there âFaulty Schematicâ artwork for F#A#â as well:
Saw them at one of the recent Electric Ballroom shows and BBF3 with the projector footage in particular was class. Has there ever been any talk of them releasing an official live album? Iâve heard a couple of bits from the Internet Archive recordings too - does anyone have any personal favourites from there?

Best version of their best track

So good - thanks very much. Might cobble together a live album with my chosen setlist from the archives

This is SO much better than the recorded version.
Bit of a shame this became the default Godspeed thread instead of the other one, but ah well
Treated myself to Skinny Fists today in recompense for missing the tour. Damn this is good, the end to Sleep especially is absolutely stunning - had only heard this for the first time in lockdown and that was just through a little Bluetooth speaker. Really love the ebbs and flows when Iâve grown to expect more pure volume and crescendo from post rock bands over the years
Think I might just prefer F# due to its âbrevityâ but look forward to this soundtracking a lot more winter reading sessions
(Really kinda pissed about that oil stain on the left of cover though, no idea how I missed that!)

Iâve got the same turntable as you. Same Godspeed album too.
