i like what little i've heard of him.

Artifakts BC is a pretty good one. It's nice to listen to while you work on something.

Yeah, Artifakts BC is great. 'Psyk' is an awesome track, by far his best ever IMO. The black album is called 'Consumed' and my fave track off that one is the title track 'Consumed'(track 10). It's very similar to 'Psyk', but without the far east scale melodies. Instead it has some great filtering.
All of the tracks on Consumed are good, mostly because they stick to the winning formula of minimal beats with heavy monotonous basslines. Overall, Consumed is a much better album than, Artifakts BC. BC means "before consumed".
Me recommend.

i was and still am dissapointed by this new work from Richie,closer doesn't get with me like the earlier ones.
my best albums would be MUZIK,ARTIFAKTS BC and CONSUMED. btw,did anybody noticed the lil phrase in the cover of the consumed ?
if you look very carefully inside of the black cover (to the left) u'll see the magic phrase that expresses the Consumed album!
"Music For Potential Space"

yeh mate,u got all of my words that i thought to say...did you enjoyed the story on the cover of Artifakts BC?
it's pretty much a sythetic release than the others...kinda planned very deeply.

i only saw him under the Richie Hawtin guise and that was last year on one big festival where me and my alter ego played.
i was lucky to have a vip pass and pay CLOSE attention when he performed.
dunno what to say..he's my guru from the day one i heard Plastikman sound.
i always looked up to him and to all of the detroit crew... and as for the mixes...he's got a manic precision in em!

I was just thinking about him. I've only heard his new album at a listening booth at a store. But it was cool.

I played after him in Belgium a few weeks back and he's surrounded himself with gimmicks! Ritchie used to be a brilliant party DJ playing the best 'techno', 'I bleedin' dm' and cool music but now it's like a 'one man band' with final scratch, ableton, tc-electronics, Reaktor etc being used half style. He needs to sort out his priorities.

true yeah,but hey u know that there's a big pressure onm him regarding that term.
he's now gotta constantly be two steps ahead every dj,cos ppl expect that,they need to see Richie doing it's best in every fuckin way.
that time he used final scratch,ableton and tc electronics plugins.
shamefully,his electrician had a major problem so they didn't have an outpt sound for da laptop,so he needed to play on trntables.
and i gotta say it sucked as in the style and the precission...

I personally don't care too much for Richie Hawtin's artist albums as Plastikman but I really like the DE9 mixes and he is great live, there is no question about that. I don't think I really appreciated minimal techy stuff until I came across it in that context.

Musik is the quintessential Plastikman record, followed "closely" ;) by Consumed and Closer...
"Plastique" is still amazing...
