I wouldn't say this is the stance that anyone in this discussion is taking,
Ritchie's output (production) is a far cry from his DF9 shit. I really dug into
some of the concept stuff and Consumed is great once you figure out how to pitch
it. I think the Plastikman stuff took a familiar sound a little to far, but I
still found it interesting how far it went and how many people responded.
In fact 'Artifakts' is a great album, better than 'Musik' but not as good as
'Sheet One'. It takes the advancements that should have been made after 'Sheet
One', whereas 'Musik' simply plays along the same lines ie.'Spastik'
('Helikopter').
As for his recent output I bought Minus Orange and gave it away a week later.
Something just didn't click with me, but it sold like mad, so I can't deny that
its a good record. The latest installment Plastikman 'PK' I enjoy for the fact
that he puts out one more frenetic track and one deep one. It allows people who
enjoy either side of Ritchie to enjoy his records. I hope to see more like this
in the future, although I hear Minus Yellow is simply rmxs of Orange.
Ritchie's mixing is another story and for that look a few posts back in this
thread at what people (read: dedicated Ritchie Fans) are saying.
Lastly anyone have any info on the Niederflur (sp) releases that will be out on
Minus later this summer? Or what Theorem's next project might be?
