1994 classic back in print with a couple of Unreleased Bonus Tracks produced in the same time period adding an extra 12 minutes to the playing time!

Originally released on Something Else Records in 1994, this definitive version of ‘The Deep’ was remastered in 2021 by Ian Boddy himself, and alongside his previous album: ‘The Uncertainty Principle’, it has proved to be one of his most popular pre-DiN releases.

Inspired by the film: ‘The Abyss’ the original 11 tracks form a continuous suite of music that cover everything from dark ambient soundscapes, “Berlin School” sequencing through to melodic synthesizer instrumentals. Opening with the haunting sound of a submarine sonar the eerily Ligeti chord masses explode to life with the heavily sequenced ‘Dark Descent’. The title track is narrated by David Burns and sets the scene with some awe inspiring facts about the deep ocean which remains largely unexplored. The music then follows a path from the surface down to the dark depths of the hydrosphere until re-emerging with the classical orchestrations of ‘Sub-Aquiem’, before the album finally fades with the return of the sonar. This is as close as Boddy ever got to a true concept album and compositionally stands up to anything else in that oeuvre.

‘The Deep’ was released on 18th June 2021.
