Eternal - Sleep

Eternal - Sleep [1990]

Eternal did just the one single, the Breathe EP released by Sarah Records. On one side was the above tune and on the other side was Breathe and another less significant tune Take Me Down. 

Slowdive would take the Sleep blueprint and run with it. The singer and guitarist here is none other than future Slowdive member Christian Savill. For historic interest the Sarah seven inch was released six months before Slowdive's self-titled debut EP. 

Slowdive - Sleep [1992?]

For some reason Rachel wrote some new lyrics for Sleep during the demo sessions for Souvlaki so they had a crack at a remake. Despite Creation's rejection this is an incredibly successful new and improved version. Starts out in a low key fog but wait for the second half when it becomes epic with a soaring avalanche of bliss.
