Here's the review i posted of it back on March 9th in Recoreviews pt 33: . Richie Hawtin: Concept 1 96 cd (M_NUS) This is a compilation of tracks culled from the twelve Concept eps released in 1996 seamlessly mixed by Mr. Hawtin himself. The styles on this range from weird electronica & ambience to dubby minimal techno and even one track of silence. The tracks are very much in the Profan and Studio 1 style . I was lucky enough to get all the Concept 12"s when they were first released but it's fun to hear what an accomplished dj can do with these tracks. 7/10 -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
