Systemisch is a 1994 album by the German glitch group Oval. It was released in 1994 by Mille Plateaux.

Breaking away from the instrumental format of previous work, the album used sound taken from deliberately damaged CDs to combine an experimental glitch aesthetic with an accessible pop sensibility.{{cite book|last=Kelly|first=Caleb|title=Cracked Media: The Sound of Malfunction|year=2009|publisher=MIT Press|location=Cambridge, MA|isbn=978-0-262-01314-7|pages=264–5}} This new approach gave Oval their first major critical attention.{{cite book|last=Kelly|first=Caleb|title=Cracked Media: The Sound of Malfunction|year=2009|publisher=MIT Press|location=Cambridge, MA|isbn=978-0-262-01314-7|pages=264–5}} In its development of the glitch aesthetic in electronic music, Systemisch influenced the sound of artists such as Autechre and Björk, who sampled the track "Aero Deck" in the song "Unison", from the album Vespertine.{{cite news|last=Pattison|first=Louis|title=Some people are on the glitch, they think it's all Oval …|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2010/jul/14/glitch-oval|accessdate=14 May 2013|newspaper=The Guardian|date=14 July 2010}} The song "Textuell" was used in a perfume commercial by Giorgio Armani.
