Oval — 94.Diskont. A brief story behind first glitch album

A landmark album of glitch music, released at the height of the IDM movement in 1995. Journalists admired the working methods of Oval. Band first recorded smooth music and samples on CDs, which they then scratched themselves, covered with paint and pieces of sellotape, drew on with felt-tip pens—in short, they did everything so that the CD reading laser would constantly stumble and give non-smooth random music through trial and error. “Genius! Genius!” said the wordsmiths.
