"SGNL>05" is an EP released by Isis which acts as an extension to their earlier full-length album "Celestial". Many themes found in "Celestial" return on this record, such as the control tower and female character themes referenced in tracks "Divine Mother (The Tower Crumbles)" and "Constructing Towers". The themes of the other major Isis releases expand upon these ideas also.

Using the style he pioneered with his work in Godflesh and now Jesu, Justin Broadrick reinterpreted the title track from "Celestial" into a new revision. It is presented on this EP as the closing track, an end to this chapter in the Isis discography considering the epic feel and experimental structure of the reworking that clearly foreshadows the direction the band would eventually take musically. The band has performed a version of the song "Celestial" live several times which fuses the original song and this remix together into a massive 16-minute rendition titled "Celestial (Ext/Alt)" on the "Live.02" LP.

In addition to the standard CD and vinyl LP editions, SGNL>05 is available in a combined, deluxe release with its companion full-length, "Celestial".
