Recorded at Chemical Sound during 9 days in February 2000. (other scraps of tape were magnetized all over the last 4 years at the mighty hôtel2tango.)

Comes in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves and packaged in a clear plastic sleeve with barcode and "Made in Canada" on sticker.

Some copies include the Constellation Records catalog sheet from Autumn 2000.

      One of the greatest post-rock albums ever made. An absolute delight to listen to on wax too.

        Love this record. Bought new back in 2000. It's still in its bag with the $16.99 sticker. They asked the crowd at Maxwell's to sit down so the short people could see the projections.

          This is a perfect pressing in my opinion. Hearing sleep on vinyl is an incredible experience.

            Nice release of post-rock/experimental music. Some emphasis on dissonance and consonance, slow volume shifts and some well executed tempo changes, hard to pull off by an analog band.

            Contains 4 sides, all relating together in a concept. Includes a graphical map of the music in the gatefold, complete with timestamps and descriptions. Clever artwork throughout.

            Nice pressing. No detectable errors. Super quiet vinyl, nice heavyweight inner sleeves with glossy lining.

            Enjoyable record. 3.5 stars.

              Seeing as that 15.3K people have this, I think someone really needs to take proper photos of everything and replace the old ones. I don't really have the means too but I bet someone does.

                One of the vinyls of my copy was badly warped and there's in general a lot of crackles. The sound is great though, and it's a fantastic album.

                  This record might be the single greatest achievement of the entire post-rock genre. It's just perfect. I've never known a double album to flow so effortlessly. Every part is a joy and you should probably buy it and listen to it because it is nice and stuff.

                      For some reason my copy is absolutely fine but side 4 is slightly too fast. Is anyone else having this problem?
