Plastikman: Closer Label: Novamute
Techno legend Richie Hawtin is back w/ his latest Plastikman album. It’s dark, minimal, stark, cold, and it even features Richie’s vocals, albeit very electronically manipulated. This is also a “mix-CD” of sorts, as each track flows into each other; and it is also clearly intended to be played all the way through continuously. The ambient tracks are good, but I tended to prefer the more techno-y tracks.
Try: 4,5,6,7,8,10.
1. long silent intro, mechanized voice (Richie speaks!), ominous synths, slow beat
2. continue the sinister slow beat from track 1 w/ a little bit more bass
3. ambient synthesizer
4. mechanized vocals & deep bass, odd little tone
5. distant pulses, blips, hisses, slow creeper track
6. pulsing beat, minimal bassline, simple sinster tones, claps at the end
7. rolling tech-y bassline, faster and harder now, edgy tweaky techy loops
8. proto-techno sound, robotic vocals, sick analog buildups
9. synthesizer ambience
10. sinister bassline, robotic vocals, reverbed crashes, warbly acid-y little synths
