The Max Block "Air Ache in the Belly of the Leech" Compilation ed. 2012

I have the compilation here, which gathers all the titles from the 1986 mini-LP, along with a few unpublished tracks. - GaiusIn 1986 Brian Crook formed the Max Block, a four-piece combo with Rebecca Shanahan on drums and backup vocals, Robbie Stowell on bass, Brian on guitar and writing words and music and singing lead vocal and Maryrose Crook (his wife) on keyboard and singing backup. This is their only release. The sound strikes me as pretty unique, it has an interesting primitive quality to it and is far different than the sound you would associate with their later project, The Renderers.
