Product Description
From Amazon.com
Detroit's Richie Hawtin, a.k.a. Plastikman, has become the edgy king of minimalist techno. In 1999 the massively influential Decks, EFX & 909 showcased his explosive talent for improvisation and beat structure while blowing through an impressive array of tracks with his driving, impossibly effective rhythms. Hawtin's De9: Closer to the Edit is another mind-blower and a full-on test of dance music's latest thrust: the mixing of analog and digital sound. The technology at work here, known as Final Scratch, allows for a wider infusion of source material; Hawtin uses it to sample, cut, and splice together over 70 songs, with an array of effects and overdubs as the glue. Besides the studio innovation at work, Edit also features a relatively melodic approach, along with an astonishing sense of pace and patience. Hawtin throws in pieces of Theorem, Steve Bug, and Carl Craig, amid little chunks of his own material, to create a sound that's elusive, surprising, and filled with the sort of cadences that render the Sunday morning dawn utterly insignificant. Most significantly, there's a playful persona at work here, cracking through Hawtin's relentless attack and making for a record that will please longtime fans and new recruits alike. --Matthew Cooke

Really cool cd,
By Elise (Hamilton) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DE9: Closer to the Edit (Audio CD)
This album is subdued. It has a dance chill factor that is hard to describe. It is constant and does not let down. It is impossible to get board because of the changes involved. It doesn't exactly portray anything magically descriptive as with the darkness associated with the works of Dada Pogrom but what it does do is make you want to dance. It is perfect for the mix too. Richie Hawtin is in the groove and so shall you. It only makes sense if you like techno.

Rough around the edges,
This review is from: DE9: Closer to the Edit (Audio CD)
Ritchie Hawtin definitely deserves some credit for artistic originality, but if you're interested in sampling the man's work for the first time I wouldn't reccomend this disk. There a few interesting tracks here and there, but the overall album lacks the superbly organized "opening credits" and lush, bass-driven production of "Decks/FX/909." It may be a matter of opinion, but the tone of the bass drums and some of the percussion stuff are too harsh and dry, and overall motion of the mix isn't as smooth and sexy as "Decks/FX..." I'd skip right over to the latter (or even some of his "Plastikman" stuff) before I'd blow my money on this disc. A pile of dirt from a gold-miner....look deeper!

Getting 'Closer To The Edit' Indeed....,
By fetish_2000 (U.K.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DE9: Closer to the Edit (Audio CD)
Initially after having listen to Richie's "Decks, EFX & 909", I tried this his eagerly awaited follow-up, and although a fantastic album, a slightly feeling of disappointment couldn't be escaped...due undoubtedly to my expectance of a Dancefloor / Home interchangeable like "Deck Efx...", but that was in 2001.....and approaching the album very recently, after coming in at the early hours of the morning, something upbeat, but low in volume was needed. Richie has systematically taken 30 tracks for artists such as "Basic Channel, Thomas Brinkmann, Stewart Walker", as well as some of his own tracks, and broken down each track to it most basic elements (i.e. basic instrument samples), leaving him with 70+ tracks...with which he intricately rebuilds and reinterprets the tracks, which he condenses into 31 tracks....and going back and listening to it no is a jaw dropping experience with Dub/Electro/Breaks/Electronica & obviously techno all reinvented with a very minimalist interpretation...that makes for some hypnotic listening, recognising how Richie starts very slowly with semi Dub-techno, and very intricately & methodically stepping up the tempo every so slightly track by track....possibly not Richie most recognised work, but certain his most technical.
