Cyberchump + Janzyk : Regrooved
Laptop tweaker, Janzyk, remixes, re-envisions and reworks
Cyberchump's first two albums.
"The aural sculptors (as Cyberchump calls
itself) decided to remix the
electro-acoustic amalgamations of their first two CDs.
Enter Milwaukee laptop music-maker Janzyk. The
collaboration birthed a collection of eccentric ambient
and intelligent dance tracks—or, rather, beat-driven
tracks. Their danceability isn't a forced quality, but
one that allows ReGrooved to work on the disco
floor or in the chill-out lounge with roughly equal
success.
The original albums were already blessed by input from
such locals as John Kruth and Victor DeLorenzo, and the
overlap of those contributors' styles abets in
maintaining Cyberchump's genre-defying inscrutability.
The occasional cryptic, likely cynical (or cheeky, at
least) found vocals on these otherwise instrumental
pieces also ups the mystery.
Fans of purposefully unobtrusive ’90s English house
music will find much to embrace here, as will anyone
wanting to hear synths, voices and "real" instruments
melded in less obvious ways than on Deep Forest or
Enigma records. Those already familiar with Cyberchump
will be intrigued at the possibilities of what may come
next."

cyberCHUMP: Our Wizards of Earth
Endlessly searching for new territory, the Chumps have crafted an album from
impromptu jams that draws on elements of guitar-driven post-rock, Krautrock,
and electronic-organic down-tempo chill.
"Cyberchump is an electronic duo crafting
wonderful melodic soundscapes. Drawing from a wide palette of instruments
and influences, Cyberchump summons Pink Floyd in a mellow moment, ambient
chill room electronica, moody low-key art rock, whoosing spacey sounds of
Kraftwerk, Near Eastern strains and echoes of psychedelia. Our Wizards
of Earth works as an album rather than a series of disparate numbers;
the music flows from track to track in a running sonic stream."
-David Luhrssen - Shepherd Express
cyberCHUMP: Sankhara
The much anticipated follow up to the
acclaimed 2003 Abstract Air. A further diversion of cyberCHUMP: Mark
G. E. & Jim Skeel explore fragments of fragile melodies amid beatless
soundscapes.
"Abstract, yet sonically clever.
Spooky, but calming. Pleasing and intriguing."

Yearning
cyberCHUMP: Secrets to Tell You
The fifth CD
by cyberCHUMP combines much of the sonic elements of the ambient release
Abstract Air with the instruments of Inner Grooves and the electronica of Scientists in the Trees. Of the work, Jim says it
is "somehow a travelogue." This project is
an elegant set of ambient electronica that grooves with an undertow of positive
vibes.
"One of the most intriguing, unpredictable,
and ENJOYABLE recording acts in ambient music. Deliciously
subversive!"

Dark Works Collection - DVD
"The collection of short films by Mark G. E. share a similar atmosphere; equally stark apartments, basements, hotel rooms and office buildings. They also demonstrate a predilection for German expressionism and surrealism using the stiltedness of silent films, the Rorschach quality of Guy Maddin and a self-proclaimed fondness for late illustrator Edward Gorey. While narratively minimalist, rarely linear and various in themes the films tend to be achingly composed. The 50 eight-second tableaux of "The Unfortunate Gift" have a daguerrotype quality of Wisconsin Death Trip, whose filming Mark G. E. chronicalled in Midwestern Gothic. "Visual Catalog" is a haunting portrait of neurological bedlam."
