Its a CD. Great stuff. If you know and like Richie Hawtin's own music (very imaginative loops with a bubbly acid twist,) then you'll like this mix. He uses about 30% of his own stuff, and the rest fits in great with his style. Track listing: Dry Ray - Lausen Quovadis - G-Man Empower - Octave One Jump - Mark Broom (I can't wait to see him with Autrechre!) The Wipe - Teste 5 Mouths - Fred Fresh Basic Needs - Goio Substance Abuse - FUSE Spaz - Plastikman Helikopter - Plastikman Percussion Electrique - Dwarf Spastik - Plastikman Eye Trip - Akilah Bryant Toddsines - X-Trak Electricity - Naughty & Tolis Dollar - Tobias Schmidt Live Wire - DBX Venus Flytrap - Too Funk Cash Machines - Synchrojack Key Follow - Paul Hannah Harz - Sensorama Altes Testament - Ramon IV It was recorded live at The Building, Windsor, Canada. I'll let other people describe this mix more technically. I'm a big Richie Hawtin fan, and this is a great overview of his little corner of the IDM world. -Phil [----------] [---] [-----] [-----] [-----] [----------] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [----------] [----------] [---] [---] [----------] [----------] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [--------] [-----] [-----] [---] [-----] [----------] Home is where the stereo is!

Am I the only person who doesn't really care for this Mixmag CD? I like Richie's own tracks, but they stand out like a sore thumb on this exercise. Most of the rest of it is *extremely* minimalist House, with about 3-4 sounds (tracks) per song. "Substance Abuse" (F.U.S.E.) sounds positively FSOL-ian (sonic density wise) in comparison to the rest of this stuff. Boring IMHO. - Greg
