	Artifacts BC's album: Plastikman / Richie Hawtin (djmixed music review) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Richie Hawtin latest offering is âArtifacts BC,â the final installment in a trilogy of albums that included âSheet Oneâ and âMusik.â Although Richie has released both his âConsumedâ album and âConceptâ album recently, âArtifacts BCâ is carbon dated BC for before consumed.
		While for the most part critics lauded Plastikmanâs debut album on his Minus imprint a couple of months ago, there were a few people who felt it was a bit too abstract for Plastikman.
		Although many fans of an artist tend to overstate the case of an artist within a scene, it is difficult to understate Plastikmanâs contributions to the Techno scene.

		Of course the album, ‘Consumed’ mines familiar areas, relying heavily on Hawtin's love affair with the minimal, yet with this latest outing, Plastikman has offered and delivered spacious and uncluttered vistas not seen in previous incarnations.
		The album shares a spatial fixation with the dub pioneers of the 70’s utilising minimal instrumentation to maximum effect and tracks such as ‘Inside’ share the same abilities to draw in and subdue the hapless listener.
		An album made for the head rather than this dance floor (but dispel any thoughts of 'intelligent' techno right now, this album is without contemporaries), this album transports the listener further beyond the lure of the strobe without them having to stand on a dance floor for five hours.

		After achieving global fame in the techno world with his previous albums, intense live performances, and legendary Detroit parties, Richie Hawtin's first full-length Plastikman release in years surprised many listeners with his move toward the depths of minimal ambience.
		The album retains the ability to submerge listeners with its continuity, motifs, and overall tone but never claims to be dance music.
		Consumed's sedate approach disappointed some longtime Hawtin fanatics, but most respected the producer's decision to move forward and explore new, deeper terrain.

	Plastikman: Consumed: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Elaborately exploring the nuances of the phrase "less is more," Consumed focuses on the empty spaces between sounds and lulls the listener away from the necessity of a continuing beat.
		Take the average example of modern trance music, remove the overused and uninspired beat tracks, cut the tempo in half so that it doesn't make your heart race all over looking for that elusive endorphin dance rush, and throw in some sounds that could be noises received from deep space probes.
		The rest of the case is otherwise fl, with the exception of the album title and track listing along the edge of the outer case.

	E-BUSINESS IN THE ENTERPRISE - Fractionation - boiling down analog assets into digital derivatives
		When I say that both paper books and music albums 'exploded' I mean that the concept of a book and the concept of a music album are having difficulty transitioning to the world of digital content.
		Consumers who listen to digital music seem to prefer to do it track by track.
		These are increasingly consumed individually (the famous 'one track you like on the entire album.').

	Plastikman: Consumed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Soon realising that the DJ's that he admired were actually composing their own music, Hawtin's insatiable appetite to consume and participate soon led him towards the studio in order to satisfy his passion.
		The album carves its own environment, dangerously deep and lush, the warm sub aquatic sounds on the album envelope the listener like a giant blanket.
		The album works on a less is more doctrine, but Hawtin is able to cram in as much meaning and emotion with the simple manipulation of a particular sound than most artists are capable of by cramming everything into a 10 minute burst.

	The History of Rock Music. Plastikman: biography, discography, reviews, links
		While Hawtin was working on this album, that was meant to make music with the remnants of dance-music after dissecting beats and bass lines, the US authorities expelled him for performing illegally as Plastikman.
		Consumed has a steadier, almost military, beat, that doubles a couple of time and intersects one of the few melodic lines in the entire album (a very diluted melodic line).
		The laid-back and subdued tone(s) of the album have coined a new post-ambient idiom by leveraging on the dub dogma of "minimal means to maximum effect".

		Consumed applies the less is more doctrine, closely working and expanding the elements he has put into the mix, revealing an openness rarely heard in modern music." We do not carry the CD version which is on NovaMute.
		The resulting album -- familiar yet alien, queasy yet comforting, intensely personal yet veiling its confessions in pseudonym and technological disguise -- is, perhaps, the first Richie Hawtin record that truly arrives from his mind to yours.
		And Consumed (commonly found as a single CD on NovaMute in most developed nations) was the deepest pinnacle of it all.

	Consumed - a Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		Consumed is a young 7-piece indie worship band from Ohio that plays weekend gigs in churches around the region.
		It's a Funny Thing is their latest album, a collection of happy, upbeat, and sincere acoustic rock tracks similar to Caedmon's Call or Smalltown Poets.
		All twelve songs are written by the band as a whole, and produced by Tim Bushong with just enough edge to appeal to the average teen, but not so much as to turn off their parents.

		But if you're one of those people who pigeonhole bands by the label they're on, then you'll be missing out on one of the best albums of 1999.
		Consumed is a four piece from England, and these boys sure know how to rock across the Atlantic.
		The album kicks off with "Sunnyside Up," your basic super-fast melodic punk anthem, just the right thing to get you into the "punk" mindset.

	Music : Consumed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Contrasting pretty heavily with previous Plastikman efforts, Consumed is a slowly evolving, serious work of tranced out microgrooves with deliberately paced, almost textural changes in synth washes and percussive sounds.
		This album is very quiet (if you listen to it you'll understand).
		Good album, deep dark heavy, heavy, heavy just not for me. I like Closer to the Edit much more this is good just like i said not for me.

	Teufel's Tomb : Brutal Isn't Just A Way Of Life... It's Also Stupid!
		Do not listen to this album if you are just passing the time, you will get totally bored.
		In fact, at times one may notice themselves focusing mainly on the high-note melodies swirling around, carrying them into a further realm of synthetic oblivion (where they can stay and dwell and figure out exactly what the hell that's supposed to mean).
		This is an album you will play years from now and say, "I don't remember all this being here." Also, track 6, Demon's Vortex, has a riff from Kingdom Of Darkness (off the first Abigor).

		The bearded bard of the boardwalk was wrestling with his third (and last?) album, obsessively rewriting the lyrics and rearranging the music, spending an outrageous six months on a single song.
		Thirty years later, as a special anniversary edition of the album was readied for release [last] Tuesday, Springsteen recalled how making the record consumed his young life.
		Album engineer Jimmy Iovine recalled not even knowing who Van Zandt was, but thinking that Steven "was dressed like a guy" who knew about horn players.

		There are little to no beats on this album, which in and itself isn't a horrible concept, but the drones (songs) don't do much changing up.
		It bares little to no semblance to any of the other Plastikman albums released prior to it, and Richie must have noted this flawed release as the next Plastikman installment (Artifakts B.C. -- "before consumed") was actually a series of older outtakes from the Sheet One and Musik sessions.
		The only way I think I could enjoy Consumed is if i consume a large quantity of horse tranquilizer.

	Plastikman - Disconnect (novamute)
		This imposing atmosphere unravels further on the new album.
		A lifeline is offered around the six minute mark in the form of a pitched down handclap but then, after a deceptive break, you're pitched back into the fray and at the mercy of the constantly shifting reverberations.
		'Ping Pong' is one of the album's most upbeat moments, yet it eliminates itself from being overtly dancefloor with it's complex off-kilter delays (possibly actually the reasoning behind the title), venturing further down the path first hinted at on the 'Sickness / Panikattack' single, with its fiendish judder.

	Donato Poveda @ peermusic - The Independent Major
		His compositions are filled with a profound Latin character and reflect an evolution of rhythm and sounds originating in the African continent, moving through Cuba and establishing much of the Caribbean rhythms we hear today.
		With the duo, Donato & Estefano (Sony International), he released four (4) albums, (including a "Greatest Hits" album), each innovative and expressive of their culture, which reaffirm the unfolding of authentic Latin pop with a spirit and show of enthusiasm that is identifiable in Donato's compositions for other artists as well.
		The album is scheduled for release in March, 2005.

	The Human League: album reviews and ratings
		The rest of the album is consumed by desperation and offers ample proof that Human League has simply run out of time.
		A relatively large number of instrumentals (7 out of 16) are dispersed throughout the album, but far from being annoying fillers, they point to the synth layering expertise that the League have developed over the years.
		Most of the songs on this album are intended to be commercial pop singles....and with Depeche Mode and New Order back at the top of the charts this year, the release of Secrets' is most timely, and may very well bring the League back to the charts, 20 years after they first topped it.

	Splendid E-zine: at a glance reviews - December 13, 1999
		Five Years Later is a pensive and poignant album, full of personal epiphanies and introspective revelations; if you own any Nick Drake albums, or enjoy the quieter moments of bands like the Lilac Time, you're going to love this.
		It is, however, a "comfy chair and pot of tea" sort of an album -- attempts to listen to it during raucous parties and 3:00 a.m.
		Some of the tunes have nice lyrics, like "She Will Not Save You" and "Midnight Flight", but once again they tend to be a bit too earnest, and sometimes clichéed (i.e.: "I've never heard that train before, Though it goes by every night, And you'll never see the dark, Till you've seen the light.").

	Armchair DJ: Music Review: Plastikman: Consumed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		And part of me just can't help remembering the time last week when I walked into my office, thought my office-mate was playing the album, and realized it was just her printer warming up.
		Last year's "Sickness" was a pissed-off bee swarm of a single; with its diabolical beats and absence of melody, it sounded like a leaner, meaner version of "Recycled Plastik." But instead of building on that relentless blueprint, "Consumed" follows the spirit, if not the actual sounds, of Hawtin's recent "Concept" experiments.
		A few tracks do possess something resembling forward momentum, especially the undulating "Locomotion" and the cavernous "In Side." But most of the album pulses drunkenly along, the layers of sound slipped so deftly inside one another that you need either headphones or a really big sound system to fathom everything that's going on.

	United Larry: Eyeholes in the Universe
		It took roughly three or four months of writing and recording this album and more than a year and a half trying to mix down and master it(due to a lack of the technological devices needed for its completion), and not to mention some other shit, too.
		Move the mouse cursor to the album cover (on the right)to audiomatically jump to where the songs from this album are located in standard Compu-Song X2000 format.

	Consumed: Pistols at Dawn Aversion.com Review
		The latest defiant export to jump across the pond is the new album by Consumed.
		One of the most important things a great punk band can have is the ability to stay true to the genre and still keep a fresh spin on their songs.
		That’s where Consumed fall short: Pistols at Dawn has troubles staying interesting.

	[No title]
		This seems to be a continuing theme for Consumed who on the third track will "wake up with a smile, just for you" during a faster than typical drum break that should have everyone in the crowd singing along with the band.
		With the departure of Haggerty, Raygun carried on for another album with new guitarist Bill Stephens, which really didn't differ too much aesthetically from their previous output, yet definitely lacked the songs and alluring charm.
		Osker gives one hell of a performance on the album that should make all struggling and failing, twenty-something punk bands from all the world jealous of their success.

	REVIEW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This album is as close you can get to an electronic concept album as possible.
		Then, you are "In Side", and you are totally "Consumed" by the beast and its music.
		The title track is the most astounding, as Hawtin layers the components of his musical madness to envelope the listener.

		I really like her voice and this album, even if many of the songs sound similar.
		This album is definitely a keeper and complements the sparse amount of music I have in the genre.
		It’s a wonderful album, one I’m glad I was able to pick up from the store the day it was released.

	Armchair DJ: Music Review: Plastikman: Artifakts (B.C.) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This archive of "lost" material, recorded during his exile from the United States for performing without a visa, is closer to the eerie funk of 1994's "Musik" than either last spring's "Consumed" album or the Concept records that came in-between.
		The hovering synths of "Korridor" would have sounded right at home on "Consumed," but the acid blips and subtle bassline layered underneath give the listener something substantial to grab ahold of.
		The album's subtitle, "(BC)," stands for "Before 'Consumed.'" Which suggests that in Hawtin's eyes, "Consumed" was the end and everything leading up to it was the means.
