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."
