A new interview regarding the new Thanks For Everything EP has surfaced on Infused Radio under the "Spotlight Of The Week" heading, mentioning the recent success of Aerodrone and upcoming work for Dismantled. Stay tuned for demo tracks from a female collaboration between I and my companion titled NNN.
R: We've chosen to feature the track "Change The World" off the "Thanks For Everything EP", Is there anything you can tell us about this song?
G: I'm very proud of its message because its so nihilistic. I love it how the politics and the media keep going on about how things could be better and how information will open everything up and how people are suffering and we have to help them and my response to that is: So what? Who cares? When it all caves in you're all going to burn down just the same.

According to Dependent Records, Dismantled is currently "#1 in both the DAC (German Alternative Charts) and the GEWC (German Electronic Web Charts)."
Scene Point Blank has a feature about the new album that involves an interview with Gary Zon and a review of the work.
Q: Can you forgive me for asking, what's the point, when the statement will be missed by most, and was never necessary for those who will get it?
A: One of the things that I will look forward to is being at a packed club with "Get It Through" pounding on the speakers and watching everyone dance to it while being completely oblivious to the lyrics. That to me will be a very special spectacle because I will be the only one that gets the joke and that's really all that matters to me.
Additionally, Release Magazine has a review of Dismantled - Standard Issue as well as Gothtronic.

First Review Of Standard Issue Up
The first review of Standard Issue is now up on SubCulture Magazine:
"Imagine standing in a dried up riverbed, at the base of where the water once stormed forth, before being dammed. Then, imagine opening this dam. The rush of water is quite similar to the power of this entire release. Get a float, get a raft, get a boat, it is no use; the power will sweep away anyone willing to listen."
