Plastikman gets old fast?????
Repetitive 303 bashing????
All eighth notes???
I think not.....Richie Hawtin is a fucking genius. The things he thinks to
do with a 303 are a total mindfuck. Believe me, I have a 303, and I have
absolutley no idea whatsoever how he manages to get it to do the things he
does. Very, VERY few people are able to create the kind of grooves he
creates with it. Very few people.
If the sound of the 303 is not for you, then fine, its not for everyone, I
understand. But if you want to hear some of the most brilliant acid lines
ever created, then check out his very vast body of work. I guarantee you
won't regret it.
Where to start? Either of his full length Plastikman albums would be a good
primer. Also, his remix of Robotman is a classic...
Oh, and if you haven't heard his new remixes of System 7's Alpha Wave on
Dragonfly, get it. 20 minutes of pure acid house bliss - Sven Vath played it
when he was at Fever in Balt, before I knew what it was, and weeks later, we
got it in here at our store completely by chance. Now *THAT* was a good day
:)..........
Peace....
