The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

    OK so, I have now listened to several albums. G_d's pee (lol), NO TITLE, F#A#, Slot Riot... I feel like I may have told you already about some of it ... they were all impactful in interesting ways.

    I loved Slow Riot Track 2 Person, although it was absolutely desolate when the interviewer asked how they foresee the state of America five years in the future, knowing that the album was from before the millennium, and for the response to be basically "I can't even imagine it" jeez...

    I was talking to someone about the job market yesterday ... I got full-time jobs 15 years ago just by filling out my resume with odd programming jobs and using my dad as a reference, but these days if you don't have a degree and do multiple co-ops it's really hard to get in anywhere. Track 2 Person was right...

    I have to ask - what is a projectionist? And yes, I was talking with someone about trying to find records of theirs and she said that basically every record store has GY!BE in it. First, I was like "oh yeah, I think I did see UXO in my local record shop..." and then second I was like "HOW?!" just like you said...

    But I hear you - I listen to some other ambient music, but nothing is like NO TITLE, for me it's because I'm living in NO TITLE right now. Even G_d's Pee didn't get me as hard (although like you said, the last track was good... our side has to win, indeed. such powerful shit...)

    Good photo, too :3 thank you for the rec again...

      I totally understand that feeling of living in the record. They capture that so well, which I think is why how their most recent records being hopeful has hit me so hard. Like in spite of everything, people are out there because we have to win. There is no other option. Idk, I find something in that struggle beautiful and it makes me get emotional with Godspeed’s music like no other….

      Their post hiatus stuff has less narrative tape recordings but the sounds of protest and someone shouting ALLELUAH ALLELUAH goes so hard in G_D’S PEE.

      If you ever just need a fucking banger, the tracks mladic and we drift like worried fire go unbelievably hard, same with the whole record asunder. Luciferian Towers is them flirting with more ambient stuff, but I still love it. Here’s a good example of their projectionist! They literally have a bandmember for live shows that projects tape loops over the band. https://youtu.be/oB1DXip7rO8 I love that they credit their projectionists as full band members even on the recordings.

      So happy to convert another transfemme to the cult of GY!BE anarchist-occult
