Um, I think that Modern Music is pretty much the only source
Stateside (they got me A.D.).

Sister label? I really doubt it. From what I understand, Uwe Schmidt
had sort of a falling-out with them. Originally he was commissioned to
create all of their releases' picture sleeves (under the guise of his
graphic design company, Linger Decoree), but something(?) went sour. I
know at least the first four were done by him though.
Anyway, here are the releases I know about on HYPNOTISM:
HT01 BITNIKS "Halograms" (Uwe Schmidt + ?)
HT02 EARCLOUD "Chlorophile Fumes" (Victor Sol + Alex Martin)
HT03 ALMOST DIGITAL "A.D." (Uwe Schmidt)
HT04 LAGOWSKI "Prismatic"
HT05 EYEPHONE "Reductive"
HT06 S.L.O.T. "Seven Seasons"
HT07 v/a "Eightracksaid"
HT08 EYEPHONE "Emerald"
Whether or not this obscure label is still even in existence, I have
absolutely no idea. Regardless, here's what little contact information is
listed on each of the discs' sleeves:
HYPNOTISM
PO BOX 910127, 90259
NURNBERG, GERMANY
fax: ++49 911 9337744
If you find anything out more than what I've posted above, please do
let me know as i'm curious as well.

p.s. Does anyone know who EYEPHONE are? They, along with Uwe Schmidt,
have got a collaborative album coming out on Staalplaat later this
month called "Microprocessed". What do they sound like?
