(2-LP + MP3 set) Purge & Slouch was originally released in 1993. After the commercial and critical success of 1992's Center Of The Universe, Giant Sand looked to lay down the instinctive and impulsive spark of the band onto record, "Believing in recording in 'the moment of impact' to result in a 'perfect harvest', where a song gets captured the first time it ever gets played, and this record marks the moment where 98.5% of it was done like this". Howe was planning on it being his "metal machine music" album, but instead, "some real songs happened too many times in the process...songs I have never learned". Includes download card for digital version of album.
