Now this is one of the VERY FEW opuses that really transcend genres, trends or time. Enjoy this microcosmic world, both eerie and soothing, cold and emotional, packaged and polished by this genius of sounds.

hawtin's most experimental and mysterious work, and some of the best he has ever done still to this day. 3 hours of pure abstract innovation. grab this while u still can!
Favorite track: Richie Hawtin "Concept 1 96:05 09:00".
For the first time since its original release in 1996, Richie Hawtin’s C ONCEPT 1 series will be available in it’s entirety as a digital release distributed initially only through Bandcamp. The entire series will now be available via‘ Concept 1 1996’ as both individual tracks and a complete package, with the latter unlocking an additional exclusive
bonus track.
Richie Hawtin explains: “ This release marked a real shift in my production style in 1996, and was the start of a significant chapter in my recording career. Everything was handled independently - from design to distribution to a subscription service to accompany it - so releasing this with Bandcamp now really captures that spirit of the landscape back in the mid-nineties. Concept 1 was recorded in isolation at a time when I was not allowed to enter the USA and with everything going on in the world at this moment, it felt like the right time to finally release this project to a larger audience. Without the year of experimentation around the recording process of Concept 1 in 1995, I would never have gotten to the reduction that I was able to achieve later on the recording style of Plastikman ‘Consumed’. In that way this is as an important album for me than any of my Plastikman albums.”

Unlikely to release my favorite album of an artist after 20+ years of music, but here i am, enjoying Crash Recoil more than any other. Wonderfully balanced, locking in sometimes, dropping bass other times, strip it, dice it, change it flip it. yes yes yes! Portis

Like having a pair of arms embrace you while you're blanketed and shivering in a dark corner of an abandoned cottage in the woods. Shadow Paradise in particular was the only thing keeping me from breaking down entirely at one point. Beautiful release. SAW-LEI-VE

This is one of the best albums i've ever heard. I swear, I will never hear anything like it again.
Don't tell anyone but I cried the first time I heard it. rewritephobia
