We are ahead of schedule on these and they will be shipping out soon. Individual CDs (Forschung 1-4 only) should be available via the BloodShop! starting on September 1st.
The pre-order period for the Sleep Museum "Forschung" 5xCD set is now CLOSED. Thank you to everyone who ordered! The tote bags, stickers and pins are all completed and in-house, while the T-shirts and CDs are now in production. Once the sets have been shipped out, the four individual "Forschung" CDs will be made available for individual purchase through the BloodShop! The bonus disc, "Parra," is now officially out of print.
For those who prefer the digital to the physical, or who might have missed a rare piece of vinyl, Sleep Museum's Robert Anthony has been hard at work preparing his complete BloodLust! output as digital streams and downloads via Bandcamp -- including his long-out-of-print, three-song, "private series" 7-inch, "Street," which is now available digitally, for the first time. All BloodShop! Sleep Museum listings have been updated with streaming players.

In the works since late-2010, BloodLust! is pleased to finally make the "Forschung" set available.
"Forschung" is the darkest and most experimental Sleep Museum
material to date. On the five CDs in this box set, Sleep Museum launches
itself into the abyss, exploring questions of identity/non-identity,
death, suicide, pain and despair, through a series of tracks that use
intense analog synthesized music, dark ambiance, noise, and vocals, to
summon the chasm inside.
The music on these five albums is most closely related to the
long-form synth recordings included on each of the four previous Sleep
Museum CDs on BloodLust!: "Core," "Anasthesia," "Replica," and "Home,"
however, Sleep Museum's Robert Anthony has ventured much further into
the abyss, this time around. These are very experimental compositions
and might not be for the faint of heart. Those looking for
minimal-synth-by-numbers might be advised to search elsewhere!
