ASH is great for three reasons:

1. It doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. You’re done after around 2hrs. There’s a bit more things to do for a bit that’s it. No fat, no filler, no grind.

3. Ambiance feels like being on holiday. Highly recommended if you can find it for a 5er or so to play after a stressful day.
