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!

- B!163 Sleep Museum "Forschung 1" CD
- B!164 Sleep Museum "Forschung 2" CD
