'''''SGNL›05''''' is an [[Extended play|EP]] released by [[Isis (band)|Isis]] which acts as an extension to their earlier full-length album ''[[Celestial (Isis album)|Celestial]]'', as the tracks were all directly culled from the ''Celestial'' recording sessions.<ref name="Aquarian Turner interview"/> Frontman [[Aaron Turner]] describes them as being “part of the same whole”, separated from each other because releasing a double album for the group's first full-length may have been overbearing for listeners.<ref name="Self-Titled Turner interview"/>

Using the style he pioneered with his work in [[Godflesh]] and [[Jesu (band)|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 [[Gramophone record|vinyl LP]] editions, ''SGNL›05'' is available in a combined, deluxe release with its companion full-length, ''Celestial''.
