Cautella CD, 2006
Following on from his work for Warp and Schematic, Richard Devine has now settled on Sublight Records for his latest full-length digital opus. Bolstered by an Otto Von Schirach collaboration and Funkstrorung remix, Cautella is probably Devine's most accomplished and fully realised work yet, preferring to allow an evolving schematic space to emerge as opposed to a strict adherence to one dominant style.
Sigstop EP 12" picture vinyl, 2005
Ex-Warp & Schematic man Richard Devine is here for your listening pleasure, pressed onto a lovingly rendered 12" picture disc featuring tracks torn from his recent Cautella LP. Sigstop opens with 'Sigstop'; a mid-air collision of Warp's finest that leaves you feeling thoroughly sated if not a little bit debased. Next is the digital shredder of 'Arc-Acid', wherein Devine appropriates a noise not entirely removed from how Plastikman might sound were he to have a dabble in some Dubstep, whilst on the other 'Matvec Interior' (with Otto Von Schirach) is an Edvard Munch for the ears and Funkstroung's remix of the title track is speaker crippling.
Hymen Records released only 500 copies of this wicked sigstop limited edition 12'' picture disc. The picture disc comes in a clear pvc plastic sleeve. Released in collaboration with Sublight Records.
