GYBE的鼓手Aidan Girt,贝斯手Gordon Krieger和录音师Mike Zabitsky组成了Exhaust,一支没有吉他手的乐队。同名专辑Exhaust在1998年发行LP,2000年发行再版CD。因为只有鼓和贝斯,觉得Exhaust的音乐总是处于未完成的阶段。某些歌曲中加入了低音单簧管,还有磁带录音的特殊效果,感觉很奇特。
Aidan Girt, formerly of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, brings his patented style of percussion to the self-titled, second full-length album for industrial rock outfit Exhaust. They first appeared in Montreal, where they held several intense performances and released a vinyl single in the mid-'90s. After that, the group took time away from the project and only played occasionally while they worked on other material. In 2001, they regrouped and spent a month in a log cabin recording an album. A short tour preceded the release, and Enregistreur was the final results of their studio vacation.
