History
After two years of working on their album, it was in 2002 when they debuted their self titled album “Epsilon Minus”. They signed with the Belgian record company Alfa Matrix. In 2003, Epsilon Minus returned with “Mark II”, exploring alternate directions in electronic dance. Parkin left the band in 2004 to form Ayria. She also signed with Alfa Matrix and released her album “Debris”. However, Shwadchuck continued Epsilon Minus as essentially a solo act, releasing the “Pre-Initialized EP” and the “Reinitialized” LP, exhibiting greater psytrance and IDM influences. In an interview Bogart stated, “Jenn and I just didn’t belong together. I grew out of the kind of music we were making and there wasn’t room for a partner in the things I wanted to be doing.” In Bogart’s third album “Reinitialized”, he chose to collaborate with numerous vocalists to provide him with the opportunity to reflect a different sound to his music. Kristy Venrick (The Azoic), Martha M. Arce (Distorted Reality), Eric Oehler (Null Device), and Ned Kirby (Stromkern) were various collaborations that he featured in this album. In 2005, Bogart decided to stop Epsilon Minus, releasing the short "R.I.P." EP of leftovers and outtakes. He briefly resurrected Epsilon Minus to perform a remix for The Gothsicles.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Let it suffice that in the light of these two facts, namely, that the mind is One, and that nature is its correlative, history is to be read and written.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
