I second Robot's kudos on this release. 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
