Accumulation: None
gaat de al eerder aangekondigde (Smog)-verzamelaar van B-kantjes, Peel Sessies en een aantal niet eerder verschenen tracks heten. In de woorden van Drag City:
Clear out your calendar for the first week of November. There’s a (Smog) release coming up that week may just leave you confined to quarters for a few days while you drink it all in. This is a special (Smog) release, people — a singles-and-rarities type record, available in LP and CD. Perhaps even more specially, it’s an LP and CD that feature the (Smog) hit single, “A Hit” on it. But not “Wine Stained Lips,” — because this ain’t no catch-all box-set or anything like that. It’s just an LP and a CD. And what’s more, Accumulation: None is a choice juxtaposition of (Smog) recordings from 1991 up to the present. There’s a few singles sides, some Peel Session cuts, and even an unreleased item or two (or one). The wonder of it all is how the various ages and shades of (Smog) all flow together, from the static-lined stylizations of “Floating” through to the more recent singer-songwriter poses. It’s almost like a new (Smog) release — and in fact, the craziest (Smog) collection in many a moon.
