Konstanz
Konstanz (, , locally: ; also written as Constance in English) is a university city with approximately 83,000 inhabitants located at the western end of Lake Constance in the south of Germany. The city houses the University of Konstanz and was the residence of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Konstanz for more than 1,200 years.

Constance (album)
''Constance'' is a full-length album by Canadian post-rock band Southpacific. It followed the band's EP, '' 33''. Intended to be released in late 1999 (the album has a 1999 copyright date on it), its release date was instead delayed until early 2000. All of its songs are instrumental (except for "Built To Last"), often causing the band to be linked to the post-rock music scene. The group dis-banded after their last show on August 26, 2000, and after completing a tour with Tristan Psionic and Crooked Fingers in support of ''Constance''. The album was released on New York City independent label Turnbuckle Records; the label ceased operations a few years later, causing Southpacific's releases to go out of print. Critical reception ''Exclaim!'' wrote that "feedback gives way to a low end hum that sometimes pulses subsonically more than it really grooves — although the warm gooey feeling it invokes is the same — and the drift and flow of individual tracks often blends together. ...
