One of Uwe Schmidt's many pseudonyms, Lassigue Bendthaus is the prolific and experimental artist's electro-industrial project. Parade Amoureuse released the first Lassigue Bendthaus release, Matter (later released in America by Metropolis). Next, Schmidt moved his Lassigue Bendthaus project to the Contempo label, resulting in the release of Cloned (1992), an album exploiting the concept of sampling. Cloned: Binary accompanied the album, this collection being a disassembled version of Cloned consisting of a ridiculous number of samples that Schmidt wanted his listeners to rework. The final Lassigue Bendthaus releases, Render and Render Audible, came in 1994 on the KK label. By this time, Schmidt's Atom Heart project had become exceptionally successful, demanding much of his attention and effort. ~ Jason Birchmeier
