Lassigue Bendthaus

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 next 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. The final album, 'Pop Artificielle', is in the glitch/techno music style of Schmidt's Atom™ project and is an album of pop and soul covers. [SOURCE: ALLMUSIC]
