  • Stealth

    CSR159CD

    Artist: Sleep Research Facility

    Label: Cold Spring

    CSR159CD. Sublime new album from the drone / dark ambient legend. As a project commissioned for Cold Spring, "Stealth" presents itself as an exploration of sounds neither here nor there, textures camouflaged against their own background noise, and the distant crackling telemetric code-speak of a vague humanity hidden behind a cloak of deadly high-technology. Comprising of five deeply-layered extended tracks, mixed and edited from re-sampled location recordings originally captured inside the hangar environs of a Northrop-Grumman B-2 Stealth Bomber, during a period of downtime maintenance at a U.S. Air Force base in Cambridgeshire, England. Original field recordings and texture preparations by FOURM/Si_Comm. Deep listening inspired by one of the most mysterious aircraft of the twentieth-century. Headphones recommended.

  • Nostromo

    CSR34CD

    Artist: Sleep Research Facility

    Label: Cold Spring

    CSR34CD. Reissue of the legendary debut album from 2001, with bonus track 'Narcissus'. Ultra deep ambience, based on the first 8 minutes of the movie 'Alien' which depicts the deep space haulage vessel slowly moving through the void. The disc takes you through a slow trip into the ship via tracks DECK A - E, deeper and deeper into the bowels of the 'Nostromo'. Colossal dark ambient from the abyss, evoking the sinister atmosphere of the ship.

  • Deep Frieze

    CSR72CD

    Artist: Sleep Research Facility

    Label: Cold Spring

    CSR72CD. Ultra deep, glacial Dark Ambient, based around Antarctic co-ordinates. The polar regions are awe-inspiring environments of inhospitable minimalism, and at the same time there's a beautiful serenity to be found in their uncharted bleakness. There's a powerful purity and a timelessness to be found there; snow which has lain un-trampled for millennia and ice which formed eons ago; mountain ranges and deserts and rivers to be found if you look. 'Deep Frieze' is SRF's second album for Cold Spring and here deep, resonant, abyss-like drones shine forth from icy chasms below.
