| Label: Schematic | |

| Cod. nr. SCH044 |
| Deafening audiences and defying protocol, Otto Von Schirach returns in '04 with a freshly-lubed full-length to give electronica another ghetto suppository. The follow up to 2002's Chopped Zombie Fungus (Schematic), Global Speaker Fisting is from the underground's underground: it's the twenty-eyed electrified monstrosity living in the darkest, deepest sewers of the hardcore avant-garde. Moving from death metal send-ups to plagues and biotech disasters, Von Schirach's fourth album is easily his finest and most accomplished record to date. |

Artist: Shapeshifter |
| Title: Reticulum Flux | |
| Label: Schematic | |
| Format: CD | |
| Cod. nr. SCH038 |
| Shapeshifter is Malcolm Goodman. The music is possessed, like a Korean skyscraper ghosted by the murder of a computer virus hacked to pieces with an Apple G3. Shapeshifter has mined some seriously dark trench in hell to provide bloodless material for this aural demon. The spirit of early-model electronic abstraction holds sway over Shapeshifter's glass tower; Ussachevsky hovers and Xenakis spooks. The inevitable exorcism happens halfway through the album, in a schism of ambient drone and human breath that stutters with a keyboard death-rattle and a low bass that nearly tears apart speaker cones. Then the poltergeist is let loose, and the album runs amok. Sound files collide and spit bits in a splinter of cellular corruption. It's all very frightening and impressive. Goodman's first Shapeshifter album sits in the company of Autechre's Chiastic Slide and Richard Devine's Aleamapper - these are three albums that display a gift for sound design truly beyond the scope of modern music. |

Artist: Richard Devine |
| Title: Asect:dsect | |
| Label: Schematic | |
| Format: CD | |
| Cod. nr. SCH023 |
| After two profoundly evocative and technically rigorous releases, you'd think it would be impossible for 26 year old Richard Devine to up the ante on his own style. Even so, it shouldn't come as any surprise. This is after all the man quoted as saying "I don't like to be limited by my equipment, if there is going to be any limitations I want them to be in my mind." Damned if his newest record isn't his best full-length yet. asect:dsect is the synapse-rattling 24-bit 96khz stereo culmination of Devine's work to date, a throbbing and vicious animal product that laces the overwhelmingly syncopated breakbeat assault of Lip Switch (Warp/Schematic) with the throat-sore howls creation groans of 2001's Aleamapper (Schematic). Masterfully orchestrating a titanic array of rapidly moving information, on asect:dsect, Devine spans every inch of the frequency spectrum, effortlessly moving from musique concréte to DSP in his own inimitable style. |
