What do people think of this one?
I happen to believe that it's absolutely brilliant. There's no warmth to this recording at all. Just minimalism at its best.

The remix has a different feel to it, but I agree it's equally amazing. The whole idea of Concept 1: VR is intriguing:
Thomas Brinkmann explains: "I used a self-made turntable with 30 kilo plate, and two SME 309 Tone Arms utilizing both Ortofon and Van den Hul moving-coil pickups." Using the original Concept 1 records on his two-arm turntable, Thomas found unheard dynamics within these recordings. Even the imperfections of the vinyl pressing process find new character within his Variations. "The interventions with the actual vinyl are few: I slowed down the speed of the record and used the left pickup (arm) for the left channel, and the right pickup (arm) for the right channel. I found out that the use of different pickup systems for both channels is important for the sound," Brinkmann adds. "It's possible to hear a melodic displacement between the channels."
