Long–running industrial/progressive act Controlled Bleeding has unveiled plans to release a special compilation covering the band's early punk era. Though the group eventually moved into a more electronic direction, the band's early 1978–1982 era was more informed by the first wave of New York City punk bands like The Dictators, Dead Boys, the Ramones and progressive acts like King Crimson, Mahavishnu Orchestra and Henry Cow.

The tracks were selected by frontman Paul Lemos. The record is titled Before the Quiet and is due out June 10, 2008.
