Originally released in 1987, Songs From the Drain marked a turning point in the relentless output and recording sessions that marked Controlled Bleeding's late-80s era. The recording contains what Paul Lemos refers to as "odds and sods," and the album looks back to the noisy beginnings of the project, as well as forward to even more experimental terrain. You get a mixture here of dark ambient, of heavenly voices, and even synthesizer sounds, not exactly common in the band's oeuvre. All of this wrapped up with gloomy industrial that holds the album together. Songs From the Drain is the perfect end point to close out Controlled Bleeding's incredible 10CD romp through the band's most active period.
