Label: Rough Trade Germany
Year: 1994
Styles: Ambient, Ambient Techno, IDM
Review:
One of Atom Hearts more straightforward releases, Morphogenetic Fields is well arranged, diverse and cohesive. Some tracks, like the albums opener "(Holon) Slo Motion" are strictly ambient affairs, while others, like the chilled "Milagro" or the spaced out "Spadix" feature percussive techno elements. The ambient geared tracks serve as dreamy bridges between metronomic IDM passages, and the beats, when they appear, aren't enough to jar the listener out of the albums atmospheric world.

Atom Heart - Schnittstelle

Label: Rather Interesting
Year: 1998
Styles: Ambient Techno, Electro-Jazz
Review: (Allmusic.com)
Following a pair of inexplicably ho-hum recordings, Atom Heart's Schnittstelle is something of a return to form. Elements of improvisational electronics remain, but Schmidt is back at the concept block with much of this one, constructing tracks from cracks and creases in the digital recording process (the title is German, loosely, for "the point at which something is cut"). Hard disk crashes, data corruption, tracking error, and digital noise and distortion are just a few of the methods applied, making of Schnittstelle something akin to the output of experimental digital abusers such as Farmers Manual, Mika Vainio, and Christian Fennesz. The album is far more varied than those comparisons suggest, however, and is among the very finest of Atom Heart's lengthy discography.

Atom Heart - Aerial Service Area
Label: Fax
Year: 1995
Styles: Ambient Techno, Experimental
Review: (Allmusic.com)
"ETI Encoding," the first track from Victor Sol and Niko Heyduck's collaborative Fax debut, consists of little more than a modulating tone paired eventually (about five minutes into it, in fact) with a similarly modulating harmonic. Somehow, this minimal setup manages to be both engaging and provocative, an uncanny effect which sets the tone for the whole of this remarkable album. Though subsequent tracks feature a wider palette of sounds, Aerial Service Area's beauty lies in its calm economy, similar to the best of Pete Namlook's or Vidna Obmana's solo works. The album also features Atom Heart's Uwe Schmidt on three tracks.
