hm.. Concepts.. is this under Plastikman or Richie Hawtin? heh it can't be
more minimalistic than Panasonic at least ;) minimalism is great :)
>any other thoughts on the new Plastikman?
kicks major ass :)
well.. I think that there's 2 tracks on there that I'd actually call
brilliant, and one track on there that is a really cool acid dancey track
which is disguised in a pool of reverb.
the entire thing really is acid tracks and 4 on the floor drums in a pool of
lush reverb, but it's quite nice and works really well.. ESPECIALLY those
tracks with those subtle synthpads in there.. which are the ones I think are
brilliant hehe :)
I love it anyway.. it's a great album.. far more intelligent than any of his
older stuff, tho I love it dearly, and except for konception, which I think
is a brilliant track as well.
