'purge and slouch' was originally released in 1993 and is the ninth giant sand reissue in the series from fire records and follow up to the successful 'center of the universe'. after the commercial and critical success of 'enter 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". recorded at a house on the outskirts of tucson, 'ramp' features some local guest guitarists on a couple of tracks with the aim to "fully realize an album without working up any of it before arriving at the studio".
