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.

    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
