Yep! I have the Elektrostatik/Krakpot 12" and it's like a METRONOME!
One beat - thump thump thump - over and over! There's lots of filtering
of subtle acid-like sounds, and some drummachine percussions on one track
atleast, but there's NO STRUCTURE to the tracks...just a beat, over and
over. Either he meant to do this, making minimal tracks which leave much
to the listener's imagination (to make sense of them), or I'll just have to
say: How the hell did Richie Hawtin ever make a name for himself?
I've heard Blob, also. The rhythm & bassline here is groovy, but minimal and
repititous like the other tracks.
I think Plastikman is overhyped if any magazine raves about him.
It's possible that my grandma could make better techno...
