John Zewizz Appreciation Society

 VHS

"SLEEP CHAMBER's approach to video is a perversion of the music industry standard.  They work within the existing framework,employing some of the common techniques like lip-sync and performance shots, but they also incorporate man provocative images and surreal effects... manipulating the format to create the desired atmosphere.  SLEEP CHAMBER videos,like their musick, are sparse & ambiguous, leaving more to the imagination and increasing the potency of its effect on the viewer.  By using this medium to expand the effects of their musick, SLEEP CHAMBER succeeds in subverting another facet of mainstream culture... filling yet another void."
