"The self-titled album by Exhaust was recorded to 3- and 4-track at the Hotel2Tango and Mom and Pop Sounds in 1997. Originally a vinyl-only release in 1998, we issued it on CD in 2000. Anchored by drummer Aidan Girt (later drafted by GY!BE), Exhaust tore up live rooms around Montreal with Gordon Krieger's deafening bass moans and Mike Zabitsky's live reel-to-reel tape distortions carving out a dub-punk racket. Exhaust captures this, along with Krieger's bass clarinet work and 8-bit remixes by 1-Speed Bike (the first recorded appearance of Aidan's DJ alter ego). A bipolar thrillride from one of the bands that made us want to start a record label." ~ Constellation Records
