Haswell & Hecker: UPIC WARP TRACKS (Warp Records) DIGIPAK CD and DOWNLOAD, with sleeve notes by DAVID FALCONER ALPHA BETA GAMMA ..."As with Blackest Ever Black, the pieces collected here are resolutely abstract, never taking on any sort of easily digestible, linear form, and while some might be inclined to discount these pieces as mere noise there's so much more going on - so much crisp, beautiful detail. If it's still possible to hear any new sounds in music (in an age when it seems all information ever gathered is all around us, all the time) you might just find one or two of them here. It's particularly satisfying to find Warp still supporting the frontline of electronic music; this is experimental sound at its most exciting, and for that matter, most experimental. Very highly recommended." http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=71352 http://warpmart.com/item/Haswell%20and%20Hecker/UPIC%20Warp%20Tracks/3142

Haswell & Hecker: Blackest Ever Black (Electroacoustic UPIC Recordings) (Warner Classics) JEWEL CASE CD and LIMITED EDITION GATEFOLD DOUBLE VINYL, with sleeve notes by Curtis Roads Movement 1 Movement 2 Movement 3 Movement 4 Appendix http://www.warnerclassics.com/release.php?release=4752 _..."Blackest Ever Black" is very far removed from the improv-driven noise music that finds favour nowadays, and that's its greatest asset. This is absolutely rigorous and uncompromising in its academic approach to sound design, and right now, in a noise scene dominated by outlandish power electronics performances from arch showmen like Wolf Eyes and Prurient, the apparent dour stoicism of a release like this feels like the most extreme statement you could make in electronic music right now. Stone-cold devastating..."_ http://www.boomkat.com

Haswell & Hecker: Revision (Mego) single-sided 12" Vinyl, in clear sleeve + large sticker! Edition: 500! Haswell & Hecker: Orange-Time-Shock-Format-Wave-Re-Composition (Remix for VOICE CRACK) http://www.mego.at/mego069.html http://www.warprecords.com/?mart=MEGO069 "John Mayer could remix Voice Crack, and the results would still go down like broken glass, but when noise-mongers Russell Haswell and Florian Hecker man the boards, things’re bound to be jagged. Originally released as a track from a Voice Crack remix album, this single-sided 12” restores the decibels mysteriously removed from the original release. The change must’ve made quite a difference, because Revision is fucking intense. High-end digital squalls, insect stampedes, and lightning strikes fill in the loud of the abrupt silent/loud dynamics at work here. And while noise is (in a sense) always noise, Revision maintains a sterile, high-minded quality that separates it from the bloody gums attack of Merzbow and Hair Police, and it even approaches delicacy at times. I was scared anyway. Those accustomed to this sort of shredding might find Revision tame, but it packs enough horror movie turns to turn away the faint of heart. I can’t tell you if this release is good per se, or if it stays true to the source material, or really any such relevant information, but at least I wasn’t bored."
