Description:
A Small Good Thing found a happy home on Leaf for their fourth album, Block. Like a favourite suit, it's immaculately cut, but comfortably worn at the edges.
ASGT believe that the best environment to make music is away from influences and pleasant distractions: a musical vacuum. Block was the first UK release for a group that had already released three cult albums on the Soleilmoon label: the bone-stripping dry desert of their 'Slim Westerns' debut (1994); the fetid heat of an old-time preacher's tent that emanates from the Cool, Cool Water EP (1996); and the queasy listening music that seeps out of 'The Pink And Purple World Of Dishonesty' (1997).
ASGT have never been part of a gang - they never seemed to fit in. So they had to form one of their own. -
Packaged in a clear-tray jewel case with an illustrated 16-page booklet that includes credits and release information.
"Recorded in Hull, mixed in London, fucked-up in Glasgow."
Track 10 is not credited on the release.
