Name of the EP (also referred to as the Whisper EP) released in August, 1999 on CD-R. Features an early version of Whisper and two versions of Understanding. Limited edition of 50 copies. Was released by the band with help from Bigwig Enterprises. It was released with no artwork.
This is supposedly the last place that the band will release "Understanding" in any version. The picture is of Nate Gray's personal, signed copy of the EP.
There is at least one ebay seller selling copies of the EP with a version of "Give Unto Me" of 5 minutes and 49 seconds and the track length of "Ascension of the Spirit" being 3 minutes and 16 seconds (without the silence and movie quotes) and unsigned by Amy Lee. This account was brought to the attention of Brad Caviness directly, and his response was:
As far as I know, ALL copies of the Sound Asleep EP were burned with same contents and sequencing, including the instrumental version of "Give Unto Me," "Ascension of The Spirit," and the lengthy silences preceding the hidden tracks. I can truthfully say I never made the statements attributed to me [by the ebay seller] and, in fact, was not in on any of the discussions regarding the contents or sequencing of the disc. My involvement in the EP was limited to some artwork I mocked up for the project (as did Adrian James) that was ultimately rejected when Ben decided to go with the unprinted discs to save money as well as add mystique, and the fulfillment of about ten "orders" for the disc that were run through me to Ben. So far as a I know, all 50 copies were identical, and all were sold within a 24 hour period. - Bradley S. Caviness, Bigwig Enterprises [1]
