Sheet One

Amazon.com
For the Plastikman concept, Plus 8 founder Richie Hawtin sought to create an all-encompassing sonic environment, a slowly evolving "plastic world," in which the listener could commune with the machines. On Sheet One, the classic Roland boxes that made Detroit techno possible are placed front and center, bringing to light the psychedelic subtext of modern dance music. Meditative and hypnotic rhythms mingle with the distinctive undulating pulse of the TB-303 synthesizer, extracting and highlighting the essence of dance music. But unlike a dance-floor stormer, Sheet One's tension is not dramatically built and released; the point here is to slow down and listen closely, noticing change only after the fact, if at all. The ideas laid out in this album are later explored in the two subsequent Plastikman LPs as well as the limited-edition Concept series of 12-inches. But Sheet One is the most conceptually solid (as well as the most listener-accessible) LP of them all. --Matthew Corwine

The acid's in the musik, not the liner notes.......2007-04-25

From klikety-klak minimal tracks like "helikopter" to the wide-open minimal spacious acid-trance that is "Plasticine", this album storms. "Plasticity" & "Glob" are worth the price of admission right there; a breakthrough album in every respect.

perpetually essential electronica.......2006-11-24

I've had it for almost 10 years and I will keep it forever. One of those that you really should have. It's like an old school textbook that taught you everything you know, deserves respect, and the occasional listen on into perpetuity...

Plastikman's techno beat-fest. Sheet One.......2005-03-28

I'm actually intrigued by this CD, spellbinding beats meets ambient soundscapes. Power meets ambience. I decided to check-out 'Sheet One' based on a Mojo Magazine reference to 'brilliant psychadelic music', and psychadelic and mezmerizing this is, in a techno sense that is. Plastikman's arrangements are actually minimal, just think a more danceable 'Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 2', speaker-shredding throbbing beats meets techno/post-rock type soundscapes. Ambient music that you can dance to, but cerebral enough to expose a high degree of musical aptitude. Really interesting stuff.

How do you listen to it when you are surfing? You must have some awesome technology. Or be speaking bollocks

I've been listening to this since I first purchased it back in 94-95. There aren't too many albums that I can say that about.

I pop it in when I am working, surfing, sleeping, driving, eating, and all other activities that one can go about doing during a 24 hour period.
