Review

Rolling Stone (7/9-23/98, p.137) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...Within a cool 'n' fuzzy ambience that recalls Eno's ON LAND, [Richie] Hawtin drops gentle, dubby machine beats that work their way slowly under your skin....It's all incredibly emotive somehow..."
Spin (1/99, p.91) - Ranked #14 on Spin's list of "Top 20 Albums of '98."
Spin (8/98, p.137) - 8 (out of 10) - "...While at first glance, the infinitesimal movements of tone color may seem about as fascinating as plankton, there are plenty of depth-charge synth noises, steely timbres, and bottom-feeder belches floating in the sound to give shape to Hawtin's abstractions..."
The Wire (1/99, p.27) - Included in Wire's "50 Records Of The Year [1998]"

Title Note

Plastikman: Richie Hawtin.

Recorded at The Building, Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

Floating in an ocean of dubby ambience, CONSUMED, Richie Hawtin's third album under his Plastikman alias, is a sprawling electronic epic more concerned with evoking a personalized soundspace than flooding the dancefloor with beats. Having risen to fame among the second generation of Detroit-area minimalist techno artists, the Windsor, Ontario-born Hawtin has always applied a "less is more" philosophy to his pieces. Yet four years removed from his last Plastikman release, the dancefloor paean MUSIK, this philosophy has manifested itself in a murky sonic swamp (the low-end rules here!), full of ominous echoes.

Hawtin has created an ambient perversion, treating wide-open soundscapes by dubbing and filtering them until they're nearly claustrophobic. And yet the grooves his strangled-pulses-as-beats create are a stoner head-nod of the highest order, stretching forever until they seem to collapse into themselves. It's like a soundtrack to a bliss-out in a black hole.
