Debut studio album by the German project Mondblut (Kai Fritsche).
"Angsterfülltes Morgen" was released in 1997 through the prominent industrial/noise record label Ant-Zen.
The music was recorded between 1991 and 1996,

featuring a signature blend of modern classical, dark ambient, industrial, and electronic music.
It relies on poetic, mysterious, ritualistic atmospheres, subtle arrangements, and hazy, half-spoken vocals.
Following this release, Mondblut went through a long hiatus,
while Kai Fritsche focused into a side-project called Hadit (releasing the album "Arise" through Memento Mori in 2003)

before returning to release Mondblut's second (and last) full length album "Scorn", in late 2003.

Polygon is an electronic/ambient project by German musical engineer, digital artist and graphic designer Ingo Lindmeier.

Lindmeier originally gained recognition in the 1990s as a member of the dark-electro group Mortal Constraint,

but he created Polygon to focus on highly atmospheric, minimalistic and cinematic electronic soundscapes.
"Omnon" is the second full length album by Polygon and was originally by Polymorph Records

as a deluxe, hand-numbered 2CD limited edition to just 500 copies.

The packaging featured a unique black square of heavy cardstock paper (resembling a 7" vinyl sleeve) 

with a semi-circle imprint, housing two distinct discs: "Blackeye" (Disc 1) and "Purpose" (Disc 2) 

alongside a translucent art booklet.
The album is a two hour conceptscape designed as an atmospheric journey across a fictional planet named "Omnon".

It consists of 14 long form structural soundscapes mixed with hybrid cold electronic rhythms and cryptic vocal samples.
