This album is pretty sweet.  If you've heard his second last  album "consumed", you'll be in familiar territory.
 
  Sheet One, Musik, and Artifakts BC were a Plastikman trilogy  in standard jewel cases, each with a red and black  plastikman logo on a white background.  
 
  I think that Consumed, Closer and another Plastikman release  starting with the letter "C" in a black cardboard sleeve  will be the next trilogy installment.
 
  I'm quite sure that I'll be right on this one, although I'm  not sure how much more minimal this guy can get with his  next release.  There's already hardly anything there.

i bought this today...he didnt impress me much with his  previous releases i've heard, but this one is EXCELLENT
  so dark and minimalistic...this is really something for the  brain, its extremly tense music but not danceable so it  would be great to listen to this and then listen to some  crazy drum n bass so you can get wild and relaxed :)
 
  brilliant stuff!!!

i think the "vox" or phonography samples in it add texture,  but i feel that there's nothing new. I like his work with  de9. 
 
  My fav richie hawtin sounds are from the artifackts era.

closer to the edit is pretty good. anyone get any of the 12  really minimal 12"s he released in 96? they are fantastic.  managed to track down 5 of them, cant remember the name of  that project though.
 
  really like closer.

i wonder why people are comparing richie hawtin releases  with plastikman releases, as he has those 2 different  aliases for totally different projects.

i agree - that is the point of having 2 different aliases..  but essentially it is the same man making the music. so  people can, at least, decide which alias they prefer to  enjoy aurally.. so to speak.
 
  i personally think 'closer' is a great release. i love  hawtin's plastikman albums. i know it's been criticised for  the sci-fi-esque vocal elements+the recycling of old  plastikman basslines.. but it my mind, the fact that it  (argueably) doesnt cover as much ground as previous albums  is just an academic point. in my opinion, its a great  record. dark, atmospheric - still funky in places.. once  again, the construction is so minimal, its as much about  what isnt there as what is.

plasticman? you mean the one from rephlex? i don't know him  all that well actually...
  as for plastikman (hawtin), yep, i'd say he's better then  both, autechre and brinkmann :)
 
  though, brinkmann is very good as well!

whoops, my bad. i meant plastikman, whose work i have never  heard.
 
  plasticman, whose work i have heard, is capable of conjuring  an exciting beat and bassline but clearly  in fact: 1000000*plasticman<1*autechre!

This is excellent and so is Consumed.
  Reccomend me some more Richie Hawtin or Plastikman.

Consumed was amazing... this album would have been too, if  it weren't filled with god awful super psuedo-intelectual  psuedo-artistic spoke word shit over top. Release an  instrumentals album, and it would have been one of the best  albums of 2003. As far as I am concerned, if this is the  direction he needs to go artistically, then he has become an  awful artist.

I don't mind the vocals. I think they work quite well on  Disconnect.
 
  The title track of consumed is a masterpiece.

The Decks Fx and 909 mix from a few years ago was excellent,  it's not as minimal as Closer to the edit, and really gets  me in the mood to bounce around a club.

I guess It hasn't really stood the test of time too well,  since all that shitty tribal house stuff happened shortly  after.  I like a lot of house tho.

I like the first bit of this album.
  But he ruins it with the more cluttered and regular tracks  at the end-they just sound like badly done, repetitive  techno imo.
 
  But the first half is wicked.
