plastikman, "concept 96":  yep, minimal dub-techno in the vein of mike 
ink's "studio 1" output

plastikman, "consumed":  minimal and chain reaction-influenced; no acid 
to be found.  think "the idea of north" (props to glen gould), stark and 
arctic.

on this front, i just have to say, "no, no, no, no, no!" (no disrespect 
to spaul)-- but i've been listening to it on headphones and it's 
completely... consuming.  wraps you up in stereo, appropriates your 
pulse, commandeers your whole cardio-vascular being.  (for a better 
indication of my view of its effects, check my review at

my dos centavos...
