"94 Diskont" is an album by the experimental electronic music group Oval. The vinyl version of the album comes a remix LP that contains remixes by: Mouse On Mars, Scanner, Cristian Vogel and Jim O'Rourke. [Cameron Macdonald, [http://www.thrilljockey.com/catalog/?id=100031 "Thrill Jockey Records: Oval: 94 Diskont"] , Thrill Jockey Records Website. Retrieved 26 November 2006.] It was released in 1995 (see 1995 in music) by Mille Plateaux and by Thrill Jockey in 1996.

Oval received both praise and controversy from their styling methods, such as literally deconstructing music and digital audio by using exacto knives, paint, and tape to damage the surfaces of the compact discs, only to stitch it back together in loops of melody punctuated by the disc's physical skips." [Cameron Macdonald, [http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/seconds/oval-do-while.htm "Oval: Do While"] , Stylus Magazine. Retrieved 23 November 2006.]

"94diskont" was released as a companion piece with their previous album "Systemisch". The album centers around "Do While", a 24 minute track originally composed for their 8 channel, 128 speaker modular sound installation named "Wohnton" (translates into home tone) in a stereo mixdown. Wonhton was shown throughout Europe between 1994 and 1996 on various occasions ranging from art exhibitions to techno raves.

In a 2003 feature, the webzine "Pitchfork Media" placed "94 Diskont" at #47 on their top 100 albums of the nineties list. Mark Richardson of Pitchfork declared "Sounds appear as multi-layer holograms, with both sources and ghosted copies simultaneously vying for attention, a piece of sonic trickery used to create some of the most serene and aquatic music of the 90s." [Mark Richardson, " [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/36737/Staff_List_Top_100_Albums_of_the_1990s/page_6 Top 100 Albums of the 1990s] "" list, Pitchfork Media.
