After appearances on several compilations, including the highly-acclaimed Cold Meat Industry-release ‘All My Dead Friends’, For Greater Good found the time ripe to issue a first full-cd.
The CD consists of 10 songs, good for over 50 minutes of music ranging from dark ambient over neo-classical towards a more industrial sound. For this, FGG uses a combination of synthesizers, samples, noises and acoustic instruments.
Core members of the band are Iz and samdevos. Guest musician on this album is Edwin Vanvinckenroye (Troissoeur, Tribe, HandCrafted,…) on vocals and violin. Mastering was done by Daniel B. (Front 242,…)
The theme of the songs is as varied as the sound. For Greater Good serves as a spectator towards life as it is. They give facts and topics to think about, without force-feeding you their own opinion; the sorrow of tragedies in ‘Ossetian Ossuary’, the present day abuse and violation of Human Rights in ‘Love your Terrorist’, but also the more mundane annoyance of a simple traffic jam in ‘Rush Hour’.
The cd is suited as a soundtrack for everyday life... the darker as well as the lighter moments.
We will soon launch a new tab in the menu bar on our website called 'sales', where you can check if and when our cd is available at a distributor near you.
The cd can be bought directly from us as well, of course. The price is 10 euro, postage and package for Belgian residents included. For people living abroad we will calculate the postage costs prior to sending.
Payment can be done by bank transfer, IBAN transfer or by PayPal, for more info and account data please contact us first. You can contact us by filling in the form on the 'Contact Us' page on the website.

Imagine a few pages of Mr. Notworthy here.
The test phase of the FGG album included Whisky booze, thunderstorm and tea time conditions out here. It worked perfect in all of them.
Highly recomended to everyone
It's a great album, it is.
