Product Description

Album Description
Following the critical acclaim for their internet-only EP, "Warmed Up", Saso release their debut album, Big Group Hug, through Melted Snow on 22nd October, 2001.

"Outstanding, like listening to Radiohead's next album" Sunday Times, Record of the Week 3/3

The ten tracks on this album elaborate on the sound of the EP and express a slightly darker mood through ambient sonics and a sense of timelessness. This is lit by fragile, emotional vocals and delicate instrumentals, which gently bring into focus an overall theme and atmosphere.

"This is a jump into the sublime" Q Magazine 4/5

Saso’s sparse live instrumentation and production techniques are enhanced by Melted Snow’s intuitive, collaborative approach with visual artists through sleeve artwork, video, graphics, photography and website.

"It is a pleasure to hear things like this, luxuriant and divine." The Fly Magazine 4/5

The album’s soft tones, single piano strikes and shimmering electronics offer a lo-fi, slow-motion perspective on fast-forward culture. Partly inspired by Talk Talk’s later work, Saso have created one of the most beautiful albums of 2001.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sasotastic!, 11 Aug 2002
By Alan (Bristol) - See all my reviews
Saso have gotten much better since their debut EP, Warmed Up...and that's saying something, because they had already started off on a great footing. With this album, this band has all of their bases covered. The songs are wonderful and unique...the sound quality is superb...and the graphics are absolutely fantastic (the booklet/insert features some incredibly cool images). What more could any listener want? The band's songs are somewhat droning atmospheric pop compositions that are hypnotic and subtle. They creep into your consciousness almost without your knowledge. Saso experiment with instrumentals, but they also include fragments/sections with vocals. The vocalist has a wonderful and extremely understated vocal style that reminds me of Jeff Martin of the band Idaho. He sings in a breathy style that is almost a whisper, and it is most effective. The trippy electronics mix with some superb guitar work to create one of the best heady, ambient pop CDs I've heard this year. This is worth seeking out. Absolutely WONDERFUL.
