"By late 1987, Pieter Nooten had left Clan Of Xymox, but Ivo continued to be intrigued by the tapes Pieter would send him. He suggested a team-up with guitarist/producer Michael Brook, who had been working with Brian Eno as well as recording for Eno's Opal label. The result was a quiet album of fragile songs and dreamlike soundscapes entitled Sleeps With The Fishes".

“Pieter Nooten’s Sleeps With The Fishes is adept at taking what should be morose music and converts it into something resplendent. And it maintains that sad, beautiful sensation throughout its length. Not too many albums have such a perfectly-realized mood and atmosphere, one that draws you into its haunting world and stays with you long after the last song ends. But Sleeps With The Fishes is just such an album. And though some of its content delves into the Goth and ambient genres, it easily avoids the former's self-indulgent melodramatics and the latter's vacuousness.”

this album is boring as hell, what a waste for an oeuvre with such incredible title,
If want to get into other universes without drugs, just buy this CD. Pieter Nooten (Clan of Xymox) with Micheal Brook (some works with B. Eno and many more) made The Perfect 4AD Sound Album. Just turn off the light, eat cinnamon chocolate and listen.
It's not music for relaxation. It's music for stimulating mind and imagination. It takes listeners far beyond known emotions.
