The Sound Asleep EP (also referred to as the Whisper EP) was released in August, 1999. It features the first known recording of Whisper along with two of the four instrumental tracks released by evanescence pre-Fallen. It also contains two versions of the song Understanding which had previously gained the band airplay on local radio.
A limited edition of only 50 copies were ever made with help from Bigwig Enterprises. It was released with no artwork on CD-R in a flexible 'DiscSaver' case at a show in Little Rock, AK. The Sound Asleep EP sold out within 24 hours.
Original copies of the EP are understandably very rare. 99.9% of auction listings are fake burned CDs from files found online and most of which contain incorrect tracks and/or edits of Ascension Of The Spirit. In a quote, Brad Caviness of Bigwig Enterprises clarifies details of the release:
