Things came full circle in the late 1990s, when O'Connor went on to work with and produce his childhood heroes Robert Görl and Chrislo Haas of Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, but by this time he was already developing a more layered and tonal sound that would become his trademark in the following years.
These were a collection of noise loops, cut-ups and industrial death pop, including O'Connor's Suicide-esque "A Man Has Responsibilities", under the Diversion Group guise.
Their recorded output included the tracks "Don't Give Way To Fear" and "Learn Your Lesson", but the group also played live, with gigs often ending in total chaos and digital feedback.
[9][10] He has also collaborated with Juan Mendez (Silent Servant/Tropic of Cancer) as Sandra Electronics,[11] with Sumner as Portion Reform,[12] and with former Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris as Ugandan Speed Trials.
[4] One of O'Connor and Harris's collaborations was as part of the mixed media Narcissus Trance exhibition at the Event Gallery in London in June 2010, exploring the ideas of Marshall McLuhan on the interaction of technology and humanity.
