“FOR GREATER GOOD & FRIENDS- The All4s Sessions” is out now and available on Bandcamp!

Years ago, we did a jamsession at Veranda – Kessel, Belgium with the FGG core members Izzy and samdevos plus some guests; Evan Roy on violins and Jonas G on additional sampling. The 3-hour jam was recorded live to stereo track that we cut down to a 1-hour ambient electroacoustic session without any further editing and was named “The All4s Sessions”.

You can download it here: http://forgreatergood.bandcamp.com/album/the-all4s-sessions

We consider this a conceptual album, so it is only available as full album download, You can listen to the tracks separately, tho.

The price for this album is 1 euro, but when you think it is worth a lot more, you can enter any amount above 1 euro as well, which will be highly appreciated by us! :)

Enjoy and share this release!

FOR GREATER GOOD wishes you all a Happy New Year and a healthy and music-filled 2012!

The album “FOR GREATER GOOD & FRIENDS – The All4s Sessions” will soon be available on Bandcamp!

The For Greater Good gig in Liège was very nice! The venue was really cosy and a very good atmosphere. Of course all the bands present were well worth the visit! We had a great time and fun playing.

Thanks to Ethan Fawkes for organising this event! We had good fun, although the FGG crew was not at its fittest for this performance :)
Also big thanks again to Peter on stage and Mark behind the desk, without you guys For Greater Good would truly sound only half as good!

Some time ago we did the music and sound effects for a short movie by Belgian talent Sancho Hemelsoen. The film “Morass” depicts a troubled girl escaping into a surreal world.

Only avaliable on Vimeo before, we added this one to the FGG YouTube channel for your viewing pleasure.

Some excellent footage of For Greater Good performing “De Te Fabula Narratur” live @ Summer Darkness 2011 just surfaced. Thanx to Alex-Alive for filming! And while you are at our Youtube Page, check out some of our other video as well. Enjoy!

For Greater Good would like to thank some people.

First of all the organisers of the excellent Summer Darkness 2011 Festival in the city of Utrecht for having us. On Classic Sunday 31st of July 2011 we opened the festival that also featured headliners as The Neon Judgement, Nitzer Ebb and Killing Joke. We had a great time playing in this nice hall (Spiegelbar, Tivoli), good sound, excellent projections and nice lighting-setup with a friendly and very helpful crew.

Secondly of course the audience which were there in good numbers at this early hour.  Also to guest-musician Peter Geysels on bass-clarinet, flute and clarinets, for bringing his talent and creativity to the table. And soundengineer Mark Burghgraeve for a great mix and doubling as light technician, you rock!

Last but not least thanks and kisses to An and Krisje for being the best merchandise crew anyone could hope for.

Comments afterwards were even a bit overwhelming. The good kind of overwhelming, the kind that gives the postive energy and vibe to quickly get back into the studio making more music.

Setlist was: Ossetian Ossuary – Le Jugement Du Roi En Jaune – Orbit – Love Your Terrorist – Distress – Insane Asylum – DTFN –  Ihtyll
