God Is An Astronaut
The Beginning of the End (Live Album)
In 2022, with 20 years and a strong collection of masterful, acclaimed albums to their name, Irish post-rock
maestros GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT come full circle with their live studio output, The Beginning Of The End.
Recorded at Windmill Lane Recording Studio in Dublin, Ireland on October 3, 2021, the album features modern
transformations of all of the songs from their debut album, 2002’s The End Of The Beginning, encompassing
each track’s evolutionary changes throughout the band’s years of live performances while allowing the original
melodies and songwriting to shine through.
Stage classics such as "From Dust to the Beyond" and "Route 666" can be heard in a new light, with clear,
transformative variations originally heard during the band’s captivating live performances now incorporated.
Plus, in addition to these live expansions, technical advances have been applied to each track. Originally limited
to just a keyboard sequencer and an Akai S3000 sampler on The End Of The Beginning, 20 years later on The
Beginning Of The End, the band seizes the opportunity to breathe new life into these live versions, allowing
them to bring more feeling...
