Strata - Sleep

[NancySadness]

This is my favorite song. Ever ! I discovered it years ago and I stil like this voice, these words...

Strata was a great band who didn't have time enough to know it. It's sad. But thank's to let "sleep" in the music history...

[Chemical90]

"Strata presents the end of the world" Is and allways will be the best thing that ever happen the music industry

[monkeyboysification]

@Chemical90 completly agree with you

[jachdios]

strata mm erick victorino changes for a electronik crap in the limousines i need other cd of strata ) ;

[NASATC]

i got a chance to meet them and yes they r really cool!!!!

[Cross3dPoisons]

can you upload "the brothers" please. i cant find it anywhere on youtube or in any store

[tripe4lunch]

@Cross3dPoisons You can find it on Itunes

[1337Ender]

love his voice, it is so unique

whyy did they have to break up :(

[JackyCorwin]

I remember going to see them play at the Cactus Club and Gaslighters... Man, SJ Local music scene kicked ass back then!! They would play will all these mini tv's on stage awesome-o

[701Brinkley]

Great band that had so much talent. Too bad they broke up.

[wishforal1]

Slipping, Pulling, To Ripped up to move...

[Babsistar11]

This voice is amazing!

[dbrocker30]

They started a new band called Beta State and are still auditioning for singers. which is dumb imo. They need to try and find someone more close to them and stop with this process that's been going on forever.

I think Eric was afraid of the band getting too big. I talked to him a month before he left the band. He's real shy, a bit reserved. Or he just didn't like the musical direction they were going in. who knows.

[thepalmetto]

My ex-girlfriend literally lived right across the street from where these dudes practiced as Downside and somewhat as Strata. The Bassist lived there and needless to say I heard them practice several times and saw them live at the Cactus Club in downtown San Jose when it was still open (long time ago). Good memories.

[ericbruckner88]

ive always wondered whether it was the band or eric who influenced "the end of the world" to be as different as it was from their self titled album. while STRATA was more hard and heavy, The End of the World was soft and very different musically. i liked STRATA much more than End of the World. i guess well see when Strata puts out their new album.

any1 have an idea?

[shalowbayer101]

no we wont. these guys broke up

[ericbruckner88]

FUCK.  they were looking for a new singer for a while. goddamnit this blows.

[ericbruckner88]

i would like one as well. i am a huge fan. id be willing to pay for a real copy if any1 wants to hit me up with a message

[jrasmuse]

I have a copy :) Many actually..

[plank30]

sure would be nice to get a copy of it for myself... can't find this anywhere

[LSUTrashMaster]

any chance i could get a copy??!?!

[LachozaTube]

They're gonna have a tough time finding as good a singer as before. His voice was soo unique. Why did he quit??

[Nubifier]

Its a bit late to reply to you LachozaTube, but I figured I would in case you hadn't found out yet.

As far as I have gathered, he didn't see Strata going where he wanted to go musically, so he left to make his own band.

[ericbruckner88]

im probably much too late but as much as i love Strata (wetting my pants in anticipation) id like to follow the singer as well. what band did he go to?

[Nubifier]

Eric, the singer made a new band because he didn't think Strata was going where he wanted to go ( I think that's right ). The band is called The Limousines

[deathbladez13]

Ending song is "i will breath fire", and does anyone know the new singers name? i looked a thier myspace and they had a song they wanted people to sing, and send it to them.

[girlfulfilled]

they don't have a new singer yet. they're still auditioning for one.

[fcmnum22]

The guy who did I will breathe fire, also did Sleep.

[dyingdreamer91]

whats the song at the end?

[breakingdownx33]

it's "i will breathe fire"

[kuairong9]

i've been searching for this song all over ,, this song rocks , thank u for the upload

[senseshavefailed]

theyre not breaking up eric has left the band they are gettin a new singer

[THeEraSerr]

bloody hell they're good

[THeEraSerr]

what?!? breaking up?

[suicideslowmotion17]

i want the mp3 of this song O_O

[red07ls]

i've got the whole downside "sleep" album.

[suicideslowmotion17]

....i hate you hahaha. you're lucky no joke. thanks for rubbing it in :)

[fcmnum22]

I know you posted this a while ago, but I would really like to know where you managed to find a copy. I find their old stuff infinitely better than "Cocaine(We're all going to Hell)".

[red07ls]

I had another fan send me the downside album on aim a while ago when I was looking for "coma therapy" before their last album was released.

[fcmnum22]

Where on earth did you get it?

[g0necr1tical]

i've got eric's copy signed by him :p

[CandJfilms14]

i know them are you a fan?

[NArlidert]

[jealousyandlust]

Good song. You guys should also check out black shadow and Amber Pacific. They are really good.

[nakedmcgee]

he's armenian? NICE!! I AM TOO!

[shalowbayer101]

this band is awesome

[watashimoai]

How come I can't find this on iTunes? Do you know which album it's from or if it's a single?

[Brickman50]

because it is not on any of their albums, nor will it ever be. it was a song they did when they were called downside.

[FnSOB]

as this person said. the only way to find the song is look hard or ask around if you really want it. there are a few people who will have it ;)

sorry to dissapoint you. but im pretty sure sleep will not end up on itunes

[watashimoai]

Gawddamn...thanks ^^

[constellar1260]
