Godspeed the Vortex

Godspeed the Vortex is an album by Trumans Water. It was released on vinyl in 1993 and on CD in 1994 (with bonus tracks) by Negative Way Out Records, and is the second in a series of three "Godspeed" albums, all featuring improvised music. (The other improvised albums are Godspeed the Static and Godspeed the Hemorrhage; Godspeed the Punchline contains full-blown, studio-recorded songs). David Sprague of Trouser Press said of the album: "Riddled with intriguingly abrasive guitar figures that apply Eastern modality ("Syrup Is Tangled") and post-Sharrock prolapse ("True-Star Down"), the album shifts from ambient to demanding with pinpoint precision",[2] while Allmusic's Skip Jansen described it as "Eleven stabs of ecstatic lo-fi noise and avant-rock moves".[1]
