the leaked audio. On February 14, 2022, the band officially released the album on their Bandcamp page without prior announcement, confirming the authenticity of both the 2022 and 2013 leaks and clearing the mystery surrounding the album. The Bandcamp release described the album as a "retirement letter" which was recorded in mid-1993. The sole musician for most of the album was Menuck, with minor bass contributions from Pezzente and two guest musicians, Dano Leblanc on acoustic guitar and Menuck's then-partner (credited as "D.C.") on vocals on "$13.13". All proceeds from sales are to be donated to the Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East's campaign to provide medical oxygen to the Gaza Strip. Menuck was interviewed in a Kreative Kontrol podcast and stated that although he does not regret its re-release, the album is "not Godspeed":"I don't feel like the cassette was a mistake, I don't feel embarrassed by it [...] If I was younger than I am [...], I would have just put it on SoundCloud. [...] I'm not confused about any of that, you know? It's just [that] you've brought up another point, which is it's not Godspeed, and it feels disrespectful to my friends who I've played music with for almost 30 years to be presenting this thing that was just me and a tiny room, you know?" Track listing Cassette release The original 1994 release consisted of 27 tracks split across two sides of a cassette. Digital release The 2022 digital release through Bandcamp consisted of 4 tracks each comprising a half of one of the original cassette sides.
