In 2001, Randy Greif released the second Shadowbug 4 CD, titled "We Are Beginning Our Descent", and continues his themes of depression and anxt by way of dark ambience, slow beats, glitchy electronics and cut-up voices. There are even a few moments here of odd orchestral arrangements amid the pulses and unrecognizable sounds. The Guide has this to say--This CD enters the territory of folks like Bill Laswell, Mick Harris / Scorn, Eraldo Bernocchi, DJ Spooky... jazzy hip-hop drums, weird noises, dubbed out guitars, bleeps 'n' bloops, string riffs, and the bass...Randy had moved into the territory of some master beathandlers, which could be a losing effort for him, but it's not. He handles the material with aplomb...This is a top-notch release. I've listened to it several times and (no higher praise, really) included tracks from it on mix CDs I've made for others." Complete review.

As a follow-up to his 6 hour electro-psycho adaptation of "Alice In Wonderland", Greif returns to putting classic literature through the sonic meat-grinder. This time around, though, the work is far more abstracted, and uses the novel as more of a springboard for contemporary ideas relating to war--on a global level, a psychological level, and our own resistance to evolving from organic to digital beings. Even more than the novel itself, Greif incorporates the Orson Welles radio-drama hoax to explore the realm of dis-information and scrambled information, as well as the audience reaction of fear, even to the point of suicide, when faced with the unknown. "War Of The World" is subtitled "an emergency broadcast" as its overall effect was to approximate the feeling of listening to radio transmissions in an emergency situation (inspired during the Northridge earthquake). The feeling is sometimes a jumbled confusion of reports, snippets of speech with interference, electronic noises, and other mysterious bits and pieces. Then, later, to actually meld into the emergency drama itself complete with (non-musical) soundtrack. But don’t expect a book-on-tape sort of thing--not even close. "War of the World is a dense, demanding deconstruction that's part audio collage, part political treatise, part industrial symphony and altogether ahead of its time."-- Sci Fi Channel review

Under the name of Shadowbug 4, Randy released this CD, leaning more towards song structure, although the instrumental tracks push the limits of that definition. The only vocals used are extremely chopped up and manipulated electronically. An Ambientrance review begins with "Under the monicker of Shadowbug 4, Randy Greif speaks in a dark, unknown tongue, understandable only by the most primal senses." and ends with "... keeps the decidedly warped overtones of Tiny Voices Of Love And Fear fresh for future contemplations of isolation and insanity, or whatever morbid conditions you choose to read into these bleak waves of sound."

This 3-CD set is Randy Greif in collaboration with Robin Storey (of Rapoon / Zoviet France) and Nigel Ayers (of Nocturnal Emissions), and explores a very ambient side of their work, but retains a disturbing edge. (see http://www.spiderbytes.com/ambientrance/intobf.htm for interview). On one of the 3 CDs, titled "Build A Poison Fire", Randy used Nigel’s source material exclusively. The second CD, titled "Nail Of Pious Bride" was created by Robin using Randy’s source material, and the third, "Perfidious Albion", had Nigel using Robin’s material. Ambientrance has this to say..."those who are inclined toward amorphous, evolving sound entities with a freakish life of their own will find a strange new world within this box of twisted dreamscapes."

Singing The Boundaries (Manifold) 1997

Collaboration with R. Kitch and Jeph Jerman under the name His Masters Voice Like the unjustly forgotten "On Land" (by Brian Eno) and the best work of O Yuki Conjugate and Jorge Reyes, this communication from His Master's Voice inhabits the same physical and spiritual geography it describes." --Alternative Press

Globus And Decibel (Swinging Axe / Freedom In A Vacuum) 1997

Compilation CD which includes 20 minutes of Stylus--another name for His Masters Voice
Also featured on the CD are Edward Ka-Spel, Brume and Jorg Thomasius.

"...if you're looking for a well-formed compilation by a small group of talented people, I would highly recommend this disc to you. A very well-paced disc with some exemplary work by these artists."--Incursion complete review

In Our Little Bodies (Old Europa Cafe) 1995
split CD with Illusion Of Safety

Randy Greif has about 38 minutes and 9 tracks of work sometimes approximating song structures. The voice of Alva Svoboda is featured on several tracks, comprising the claustrophobic and disturbing "Becoming Animals" triptych.

" "In Our Little Bodies" is a great match up of two very unique artists. OEC is known for their high calibre of quality experimental noise music, and this disk fails to disappoint."--Last Sigh complete review
