Dead Vent 7 is the first full length album by Single Cell Orchestra. It was released in 1995 on Reflective Records. This album closely resembles a radio drama, with a variety of actors voicing the roles of a deep-space military crew involved in an Alien-like space opera. This tale of spaceships, an unseen enemy, and the participants' eventual demise features narration by Miguel A. Fierro and his friends, as well as Fierro's synthesizer-based bleeps, drones, and rhythms.
