Info

What We Ask is Where We Begin gathers together the recordings made by the proto Sanguine Hum, who were then going under the name of Joff Winks Band. Disc 1 presents the first ever official CD release of the album Songs For Days in an extended master with music that was left off of the 2007 download version. Disc 2 is a real treasure trove of remixed early singles and B Sides, rare unreleased tracks newly completed by the band, plus a selection of outtakes from the Songs For Days sessions. Along with the three Antique Seeking Nuns EPs, this double set offers a fascinating insight into the early days of Sanguine Hum.
